Do you experience persistent pain at the base of your spine, especially when sitting, standing up, or during long drives? You might be suffering from Coccydynia, commonly known as tailbone pain.
At ALGOS Multispeciality Pain Clinic, we offer an innovative, non-surgical treatment called Prolotherapy—a natural regenerative therapy that can help heal and relieve this chronic discomfort.
What is Coccydynia?
Coccydynia refers to pain in the coccyx or tailbone, usually caused by:
- Trauma (like a fall on the buttocks)
- Prolonged sitting on hard surfaces
- Repeated strain (e.g., cycling)
- Childbirth injuries
- Degenerative changes or instability in the coccyx
Symptoms include:
- Sharp or aching pain in the tailbone region
- Increased pain when sitting, standing from a seated position, or during bowel movements
- Discomfort while leaning back or sitting in a reclined position
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy (Proliferative Therapy) is a regenerative injection treatment that uses a solution (usually dextrose or saline) injected into the affected ligaments or joints to stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
The goal is to:
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen lax or damaged ligaments
- Restore stability and alignment to the coccyx
- Provide long-term pain relief
How Does Prolotherapy Help in Coccydynia?
In many cases of coccydynia, the pain is due to instability or inflammation of the supporting ligaments around the coccyx. Prolotherapy helps by:
- Triggering a localized healing response
- Encouraging tissue repair and collagen production
- Restoring proper positioning and support to the tailbone
At ALGOS Multispeciality Pain Clinic, we use image-guided (fluoroscopic or ultrasound-guided) prolotherapy injections for precision and safety.
Benefits of Prolotherapy
- Minimally invasive
- Natural and drug-free
- Outpatient procedure with no need for surgery
- Can be combined with physiotherapy and posture correction for better outcomes
- Suitable for patients who haven’t responded well to conventional treatments
What to Expect During the Procedure
- A thorough physical examination and history
- Diagnostic imaging (if required)
- Image-guided injection of prolotherapy solution to the coccyx ligaments
- Mild soreness for 1–2 days post-injection (managed with cold packs or simple analgesics)
Multiple sessions (typically 2–4) may be needed depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition.
When Should You Consider Prolotherapy for Coccydynia?
You may benefit from prolotherapy if you have:
- Chronic tailbone pain lasting more than 2–3 months
- No relief from medications, cushions, or physiotherapy
- A history of tailbone trauma
- Pain aggravated by sitting or transitions
