Back Lower (Lumbar) Coccyx Area Pain Treatment
The coccyx , or tailbone, is the last bone of the vertebral column. It is a small bone that articulates with the sacrum and that usually consists of four fused vertebrae which form the terminus of the spinal column. Coccyx serves as an attachment site for various muscles, ligaments and tendons. It also serves as a weight-bearing structure when a person is seated.
The coccyx bears more weight when the seated person is leaning backward. People with a painful coccyx find it more comfortable to sit leaning a little bit forward. Coccydynia is a type of tailbone pain (coccygodynia) in the area of the coccyx (tail bone).
