Tail Bone Pain

The tail bone or coccyx is the bottom-most portion of the spine below the sacrum. The bones are arranged in a triangular pattern that helps in bearing weight in a sitting position. Trauma to tail bone occurs during childbirth, back fall in sitting position, etc., and it causes pain. Tail bone pain can be managed by leaning forward while sitting, sitting on a v-shaped cushion, application of ice or heat, use of painkillers, etc.
