The region called the coccyx (tailbone, coccyx, buttocks bone) refers to the lowest and tip part of our spine. This bone structure is connected to the sacrum and lumbar vertebrae with a joint and ligaments. Sudden fall on a hard ground or Pain begins to be felt in the coccyx area as a result of impact, or constant pressure on the coccyx area over time (sitting still for a long time, the coccyx area leaning on something), or as a result of damage to the joint during childbirth in women. Coccyx pain is truly excruciating, and especially when sitting. It affects human life very negatively because the pain becomes very severe during the pain. In addition, although many treatments are applied for coccyx pain, the treatments are generally aimed only at reducing the pain, not for the cause, so they either do not provide any benefit or the pain begins to occur again after a while. For this reason, coccyx pain It would be wise to evaluate the patient presenting with the condition very well and apply a treatment strategy that will eliminate the cause of the pain.
PROLOTHERAPY CAN REPAIR THE JOINT AND LIGAMENT DAMAGE CAUSING PAIN AND PROVIDE A TREATMENT.
Causes of Coccyx Pain:
TRAUMA: As a result of falling on the tailbone (coccyx) in a semi-sitting position, pain begins to occur as a result of inflammation and damage to the ligaments in that area, the coccyx joint and the tailbone. The most common cause of coccyx pain develops due to trauma.
PRESSURE ON THE COTTAGE: Sitting on a hard surface for a long time, keeping the coccyx leaning on a hard area for a long time, riding a horse. Situations where pressure is applied to the coccyx area for a long time, such as continuous driving, may cause the onset of coccyx pain. These pains are generally not permanent, but poor control of pain and inflammation and continued pressure on the coccyx cause the pain to become chronic.
BIRTH OF A CHILD: As a result of the pressure of the baby's head on the mother's coccyx bone during birth, the coccyx and its associated structures (joints, ligaments) ent) may be damaged. As a result, pain begins in the coccyx area. Rarely, during birth, the coccyx bone may break as a result of the pressure of the baby's head on the coccyx.
TUMOR AND INFECTION: Rarely, pain may occur in the coccyx area as a result of pressure on the coccyx due to tumor or infection. When other causes of coccyx pain are ruled out, the patient must be evaluated in terms of tumor and infection.
WHY IS COIL COTTAGE PAIN SEEN MORE IN WOMEN?
The coccyx bone of women is more outward than that of men and Therefore, they are more vulnerable to exposure to trauma.
Women have a wider pelvis (hip bone) structure. This causes more pressure to be applied to the coccyx when they sit. Due to the narrower structure of the male pelvis anatomy, less pressure is applied on the coccyx when men sit.
Because women give birth, their coccyx is subjected to more trauma.
COAIL COTTAGE PAIN SYMPTOMS AND FEATURES:< br /> Pain becomes especially evident in the sitting position.
Local pain in the coccyx area gets worse when that area is touched or pressure is applied.
Coccyx pain gets worse when the patient moves from a sitting position to standing up.
If there is constipation, the pain gets worse, on the contrary, the pain is relieved when bowel movements are good.
COCUT COCYCLE PAIN TREATMENT:
There are many methods to reduce or eliminate coccyx pain. But Since these methods are only aimed at reducing pain and do not treat the actual damage that causes pain in that area, they are generally not more than temporary solutions. These are; 1) Painkillers: They can reduce coccyx pain for a while, but their effects are weak in the long term and pain relief is Analgesics have many side effects.
2) Applying cold at the first onset of the pain and hot application in the following days
3) Avoiding sitting for long periods of time and preventing pressure on the coccyx area
4) Sits Using a pillow or cushion with a hole in the middle while sleeping
5) Avoiding constipation as constipation increases coccyx pain
6) Cortisone injection: Although it reduces the pain for a short time, the pain reoccurs after a while. In addition, since cortisone weakens the ligaments, the pain becomes more severe in the long term.
7) Manipulation: When the tailbone moves from its place, it can be placed in place anatomically by the method of caryopraxia. Although anatomical improvement is achieved with this method, the damaged joints and ligaments in this area need to be repaired.
8) Stretching movements: Gently applied stretching movements may be useful, but they are not sufficient alone as they cannot repair the damaged joints and ligaments.
9) Although ultrasound and physical therapy are somewhat beneficial, they are insufficient to repair damaged joints and ligaments.
10) Surgical treatment: In cases of excessive growth of the tip of the coccyx bone, the long and pointed bone The part can be corrected surgically.
