coccygeal
The term "coccygeal" refers to anything related to the coccyx, which is the small, triangular bone at the base of the spine. The coccyx is commonly known as the tailbone and consists of three to five fused vertebrae. It serves as an attachment point for various muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Coccygeal pain, often referred to as coccydynia, can occur due to injury, prolonged sitting, or childbirth. This discomfort can affect daily activities and may require treatment options such as physical therapy or pain management strategies. Understanding the coccygeal region is important for addressing related health issues.
