Tailbone pain treatment in Morris Plains.

Most of it is talking and outside assessment. How you sit, how you get out of a chair, how your hips and back move, and where the pain is when the area is checked from the outside. A lot can be sorted out that way. An internal exam gives the clearest reading of how the coccyx joint moves and what your pelvic floor is doing around it, because those muscles attach to the tailbone from the inside. That means one gloved, lubricated finger, and it gets explained fully before it happens. You can decline it, you can postpone it, and you can stop at any point. The room is a private treatment room with the door closed, and Dr. Namrata is the only person who will be in it with you.

No. Delivery can bruise the coccyx, stretch the tissue around it, and leave the pelvic floor bracing long after the birth itself. That is an injury with a mechanism, not a permanent new setting for your body. Injured tissue answers to the same things it always answers to: getting the joint moving, releasing what is gripping, and rebuilding strength around it. That is true a few months after birth and it is still true years later. Being told to sit on a cushion and get on with it was never good advice.

That gets answered at your evaluation, because it depends on what is driving the pain. A stiff coccyx joint behaves differently from a pelvic floor that has been gripping for years, and how long you have had it matters too. What does not change is the structure. Your plan runs through four phases, Pain, Prime, Perform, and Prevent, and you always know which phase you are in and what is left in it. You work one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every visit, so the plan gets adjusted by the person who examined you.
