If you feel soreness or tenderness when applying pressure to the tailbone area, that’s another sign that the coccyx may be your issue.
Coccyx injections are an outpatient procedure performed under X-ray guidance for safety and accuracy. Dr. Alexander places anti-inflammatory medicine near the tailbone to calm irritation and reduce swelling. The procedure only takes a few minutes, and most patients return home the same day.
