What to Expect at Mile High Spine & Sport
Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, can happen after a fall, long periods of sitting, childbirth, sports impact, or sometimes without a clear cause. Because the coccyx sits at the base of the spine, even small movements can feel sharp or irritating when the area is inflamed.
During your visit, we look at how you move, sit, and load your spine so we can understand the source of discomfort. Care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, posture guidance, and practical changes that reduce pressure on the tailbone. If needed, we also discuss habits that may be making the pain worse, like certain chairs, sitting positions, or training movements.

FAQs
What causes tailbone pain?
Tailbone pain can come from a fall, prolonged sitting, childbirth, repetitive pressure, poor posture, or irritation in the muscles and ligaments around the coccyx. Sometimes the pain starts after a sudden injury, and other times it develops slowly.
Can a chiropractor help tailbone pain?
Yes, many people with tailbone pain benefit from chiropractic care. At Mile High Spine & Sport, we look at spinal alignment, joint motion, and surrounding soft tissues to help reduce stress on the area and improve how you move.
Why does sitting make my tailbone hurt so much?
Sitting places direct pressure on the coccyx. If the area is inflamed or injured, even normal sitting can trigger sharp pain. Changes in posture, chair support, and movement patterns often make a noticeable difference.
How long does tailbone pain last?
It depends on the cause and how irritated the area is. Some cases improve in a few weeks, while others last longer, especially if the tailbone keeps getting bumped or compressed. Getting evaluated early can help prevent the pain from dragging on.
When should I seek care for tailbone pain?
You should seek care if the pain is severe, keeps returning, follows a fall, or makes it hard to sit, work, or sleep. If you are in Greenwood Village and want help finding the cause, Mile High Spine & Sport is here to help.
