Coccydynia
You don’t notice your tailbone until it starts hurting.Then you notice it every time you sit.Every. Single. Time.
It’s the kind of pain that changes how you live. The way you sit in meetings. The chair you choose at dinner. The long drives you avoid. And sometimes, the way you see yourself.
Coccydynia—chronic tailbone pain—can happen after a fall, childbirth, prolonged sitting, or sometimes for no clear reason at all. And once the pain takes hold, it can be stubborn.
We help patients in Perth find a way forward.
Tailbone Pain That Won’t Go Away? You’re Not Alone
(Coccydynia treatment Perth)
Many people with coccydynia go through months—or years—of discomfort, being told to “just use a cushion” or “wait it out.” But if pain has become your constant companion, waiting is not a strategy.
Why Coccydynia Persists Beyond the Injury
(Chronic tailbone pain, coccyx pain causes)
Pain isn’t always just about tissue damage. Sometimes, the pain system itself becomes hypersensitive. The muscles around the coccyx tighten to guard the area. Nerves misfire. Even the smallest pressure from sitting can set off a chain reaction of discomfort.
Advanced Medical Treatments for Coccydynia
(Tailbone pain injections Perth, ganglion impar block, coccygeal joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, ketamine infusions, pelvic floor Botox)
When rest, cushions, and simple measures don’t work, targeted medical treatments can break the cycle.
Ganglion Impar Block
The ganglion impar is like a nerve switchboard for the tailbone area. By numbing it, we can stop the pain messages reaching the brain.
Coccygeal Joint Injections
These calm the inflamed joints at the base of the spine, reducing pain and swelling.
Radiofrequency Ablation
This is precision medicine for pain. We use heat to switch off overactive nerve pathways.
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
For cases with central sensitisation—when the nervous system is “stuck on high alert”—low-dose ketamine infusions can reset the sensitivity dial.
Pelvic Floor Botox
If tight pelvic floor muscles are pulling on the coccyx, Botox can relax them, easing pressure and pain.
Safe, Sedated, and Guided by Experts
(Safe coccydynia injections, hospital-based pain procedures)
Are these injections safe?
Yes. All our procedures are performed in a hospital setting, under sedation, with X-ray or ultrasound guidance. This means precision targeting, maximum comfort, and minimal risk.
