Tailbone pain is one of the most misunderstood — and underdiagnosed — conditions we see.
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Patrick Foye, one of the leading experts in coccyx pain, to break down what clinicians are missing and how we can do better.
We cover:
Why tailbone pain is rarely a fracture (and what it usually is instead)
The concept of dynamic instability — and why it’s often missed
How to think about imaging (and why sit-to-stand X-rays matter)
Red flags you actually need to worry about
How injections and pelvic rehab can work together, not separately
And why collaboration is the key to better outcomes
This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt unsure treating coccyx pain — or if your patients aren’t getting better the way you’d expect.
