Coccyx Adjustment - A Chiropractic Treatment

Coccyx adjustment is a conservative method to align the coccyx segments, restore motion to the coccyx joints to relieve the tailbone pain without drugs or surgery.

Coccyx adjustment, manipulation or manual therapy refers to the procedure in which the misaligned coccyx is physically moved toward the normal alignment position.

Chiropractic adjustment can be provided externally or internally to correct a coccyx misalignment.

External Adjustment

External Adjustment of the coccyx can be provided by hand or with Chiropractic adjustment instruments. This is the procedure when coccyx is adjusted over the skin close to anal area.

Internal Adjustment

Internal Adjustment is provided through the anus and rectum. This procedure is very similar to the men’s prostate examination.  A lubricated and gloved finger is inserted in the rectum to examine and adjust the coccyx.
