Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, is pain at the very bottom of your spine. It is often worse when you sit or stand up. At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we use the Deep Healing Method to find out why. We look for the root cause, so we can treat the real problem and not only the pain.

Why does tailbone pain happen?

Your tailbone is a small bone at the base of your spine. Muscles and bands of tissue attach to it, and it takes weight when you sit. Your metabolism feeds that tissue with nutrients and blood flow, and helps it repair. When something is off, the area can stay sore. The cause is different for each person. Here are some common ones:

  • A fall. A hard landing on the tailbone can bruise or strain it.
  • Long sitting. Hard seats and long hours put steady weight on it.
  • Pregnancy and childbirth. These put strain on the pelvis.
  • Tight muscles. Pelvic and hip muscles can pull on the area.
  • Joints that do not move well. A stuck joint in the low back or pelvis is called a subluxation.
  • Long-term inflammation and low nutrient levels. These can slow your body’s repair.

Two people can feel the same tailbone pain for very different reasons. That is why we find out why for you.

The Deep Healing Method: 3 steps

Our Deep Healing Method looks for the root cause, then works on it in three steps. Each step builds on the one before it.

1. Data: find out why

First, we test and check. We do not guess.

For tailbone pain, we start with a chiropractic assessment of your low back, pelvis and tailbone area. A subluxation is found only by a chiropractic consult or assessment, and by X-rays if needed. We also check how your body is working inside.

Tests we may use: blood work and our naturopathic assessment.

2. Remove obstacles: detox

Next, we take away what is in the way of healing.

This can be stuck joints, tight muscles and the triggers that keep inflammation going. Detox means we help your body clear what builds up.

3. Replace: put back what is low

Last, we put back what your body is low in, and we learn why it was low.

Clinical supplementation is chosen after assessment. We also check how long you may need support. Your plan is made for you.
