Coccyx Wedge Cushion: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Coccyx sometimes called the tailbone?
A. The human coccyx is often considered a vestigial remnant of a tail - so the coccyx is often referred to as the tailbone.
What does Coccyx mean?
A. The word coccyx comes from the Greek word kkkux for cuckoo and Latinised it as coccyx. The name was derived from the tailbone's shape, which early anatomists thought it resembled a cuckoo's beak.
The coccyx is the end of the spine. The human coccyx is composed of 3-5 individual segments the coccygeal vertebrae. (In 80% of people, the coccyx is made up of 4 coccygeal vertebrae).
Q. What is coccydynia?
A. Pain in the area of the coccyx (tailbone) is called coccydynia or coccygodynia (or sometimes a variety of other spellings). Coccydynia can be anything from discomfort to acute pain, varying between people and varying with time in any individual. The name describes a pattern of symptoms (pain brought on or aggravated by sitting), so it is really a collection of conditions which can have different causes and need different treatments.
Coccydynia can follow falls, childbirth, repetitive strain or surgery. In some cases the cause is unknown. The pain can disappear by itself or with treatment, or it can continue for years, and may get worse. It is five times more common in women than men, probably because the female pelvis leaves the coccyx more exposed.
