Why Does My Tailbone Hurt If I Haven’t Injured It?
Feeling tailbone pain but don’t remember falling or hurting yourself?
You’re not alone. Many people experience discomfort in the coccyx (tailbone) without any obvious injury. At Synchrony Chiropractic and Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, we often see this — and the good news is, it’s both common and treatable.
What Can Cause Tailbone Pain Without an Injury?
1. Sitting Too Long:
Spending hours on hard chairs (or the wrong type of seat) puts continuous pressure on your tailbone, which can easily lead to pain.
2. Slouching or Bad Posture:
The way you sit matters. Poor posture can shift your weight unevenly, placing extra stress on the coccyx over time.
3. Repetitive Movements:
Activities like cycling, rowing, or even prolonged driving can strain the tissues around your tailbone, even if there’s no single incident of injury.
4. Age-Related Wear and Tear:
As we get older, the joints and tissues around the tailbone can naturally degenerate, leading to persistent discomfort.
5. Post-Childbirth Pain:
Childbirth puts a lot of pressure on the pelvic area. Many women experience tailbone pain that lingers for weeks or months after delivery.
6. Hidden Medical Issues:
In rare cases, conditions like infections, cysts, or referred pain from nearby muscles or joints may be the root cause.
