Coccydynia refers to pain in coccyx (tailbone), which is the last bone at the bottom of the spine. Any injury or strain to the coccyx, pelvic bones, or the surrounding muscles and ligaments can lead to this pain. Further factors that can cause coccydynia are fall on the coccyx, repetitive strain from certain sports, stretching of ligaments and muscles around coccyx during childbirth, poor posture, prolonged sitting for long hours, being overweight or underweight, and age-related wear and tear. Less common causes may include bony growth on the coccyx, the coccyx being too flexible or too rigid, and arthritis. Other causes for tailbone pain are fractured bones (broken tailbone or tailbone fracture), sciatica and sacroiliitis. Less commonly, it may result from piles, pilonidal cyst and rarely it may occur from a tumour near tailbone.
Homeopathy offers a very safe and natural treatment for cases of coccydynia. Homeopathic medicines for coccydynia help manage the condition by providing symptomatic relief in pain, tenderness, stiffness, and tightness across the coccyx area. Though painkillers given in conventional mode give instant relief, they provide relief for a short period and can have side effects with prolonged use. Homeopathy aims to provide a permanent cure rather than short-term relief along with the best part that these medicines have zero side effects.
Homeopathy gives long-term results in cases of coccydynia by addressing the root cause behind it. In the beginning of homeopathic treatment, the acute pain is relieved. After the regular use of homeopathic medicines for the recommended time period, the chronicity of the complaint is addressed. The pain episodes gradually decrease in both intensity and frequency till pain gets resolved completely.
Homeopathy helps cases of tailbone pain with properly selected, individualised remedies. The medicine selection is based on detailed evaluation of the characteristic symptoms of the person. These medicines act deeply to treat coccydynia at its roots for complete recovery.
Homeopathic medicines are safe medicines prepared from natural substances. These are used in highly diluted form that stimulate the self-healing process and aid natural cure in coccydynia cases without any kind of unwanted harmful aftereffects.

Hi Doctor,
I am suffering from Coccydynia since last 2.5 years. I experienced it suddenly without any fall or injury. However I have long sitting job that could be one of the cause and one more thing what I remember is this pain started sometime after I had some chickenpox kind of viral infection.
Since then I tried all possible treatments and therapies (Physiotherapy, Accupunture, Massage, Internal Manipulation to coccyx, exercises, Yoga), my pain has reduced but did not go completely and increases if I travel for 4-5 hours a day or sit for long hours. I experience very sharp pain on tip of coccyx only and surrounding muscles sometimes. If I touch slightly upper part of coccyx where I find no pain at all.
My pain increases only while sitting and while laying down straight. While sleeping straight, sometime I get up feeling so much pressure on my tailbone.
Pain gets better while walk or running and heat application.
