Jason A.T. Woon
as a highly-motivated medical researcher, I have multiple publications on the coccygeal anatomy. A recent doctoral graduate from the University of Otago, with a thesis awarded an exceptional grade (top 10%) titled ‘Clinical Anatomy of the Human Coccyx’, a detailed investigation into the anatomy of the coccyx using dissection, radiography, and histology was reported. The results have been published in several high-quality journals and aims to fill gaps in the existing knowledge of the coccyx, particularly in relation to the coccygeal plexus, sacrococcygeal intercornual region, and the bony morphology and morphometry of the coccyx. As a senior medical student, my hope is to continue to develop my research skills, explore new avenues and contribute to the scientific community.

Elif Gürkan, MD, Istanbul
As a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist in my country, I am mostly practising treatment modalities for pain due to spinal disorders. In the year of 2000, I visited the clinic of Dr. Jean Yves Maigne in Paris for learning manual medicine. In the meanwhile, he mentioned me about dynamic x-rays and intradiscal injections for coccydynia. Then I was very interested in this complex pain syndrome in musculoskeletal medicine. After then, I had the chance to meet more than 1000 patients with coccydynia. In most of the cases dynamic x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging were showing the pain source. What really interesting was that a very small number of patients had a psychosomatic basis as believed for many years. I think dynamic x-rays have been a very helpful answer to understand the reason underlying coccydynia in %75 of patients and treating patients with intradiscal injections have been really successful. However, this region keeps to be mysterious in terms of cause of the pain and the cause of recurrence of the pain after treatment in a certain group of patients. So I would like to work more on anatomy, cause, manual treatment options, different medical alternatives and injections for coccydynia.
Dr. Thibault Riant
Former anaesthetist. Pain physician for 15 years: Consultations, CT-guided and US infiltrations including coccyx, IMPAR ganglia…I work in a pain unit which contributes to the Nantes Federative Pelvic Pain Centre. This centre regroups two pain units: public and private. There are also private physiotherapists and osteopaths.During a long time, our main topic was only perineal neuralgia (pudendal, cluneal, obturator). For few years now, we have driven this experience further enlarging our practice with new modalities including coccygodynia, vestibulodynia, pelvic hypersensitization and chronic post-operative pain.We see around 1500 new patients each year who are suffering from the “pelvic” area. We organize three multidisciplinary consultations by month. The professionals invited are: pain physicians, gynaecologists, urologists, psychologists, physiotherapists, osteopaths. The first consultation includes patients with perineal neuralgia, coccygodynia. The second one is for patients with pelvic pain and urologic diseases. Finally, the last one is open to patients with pelvic pain and gynaecologic diseases.

EggSitter Cushion for Tailbone Pain, Honeycomb Gel Cushion for Coccyx Pain

The Egg-Sitter is one of Many Different Cushions for Tailbone Pain, Coccyx Pain
  • There are many different types of cushions used by people suffering from coccyx pain (tailbone pain).
  • Patients come to the Coccyx Pain Center from around the world, bringing their coccyx cushions with them.
  • Sometimes if someone has a type of cushion that I have not previously done a video on… I will ask them if I can borrow it for a few minutes to make a video about that type of cushion.
  • This is one of those videos. It is about the Egg Sitter Cushion. This is a honeycomb style of gel cushion.

Tailbone-Coccyx Fractures and Dislocations, Last Chapter in New Medical Textbook

New Book Chapter on Coccyx  Fractures and Tailbone Dislocations, Last Chapter in New Medical Textbook
  • In this video, Dr. Foye discusses the chapter he wrote on Tailbone Fractures and Coccyx Dislocations.
  • This is the very last chapter in a recently published medical textbook.
  • Patrick Foye, M.D., is director of the Coccyx Pain Center at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
  • Dr. Foye has many publications in medical journals and medical textbooks, especially on the topic of coccyx injuries and tailbone pain. He also lectures on this topic within the United States and internationally.
  • This book chapter will help physicians understood more about how to evaluate and treat fractures and dislocations of the coccyx.
Here is the TEXT from the video: (The actual VIDEO is lower down on this webpage.)
  • This video is about a new medical textbook that just came out (it’s 2018) with a chapter about coccyx dislocations and fractures (tailbone dislocations and fractures).
  • I’m Dr. Patrick Foye.
  • I’m an M.D. or medical doctor.
  • And I’m the Director of the Coccyx Pain Center or Tailbone Pain Center here in the United States.
  • I’m online at www.TailboneDoctor.com.
  • And just within the last couple of months I announced a different medical textbook, which was this one.
  • It was an atlas of spinal injection procedures.
  • And that was one where I had written a chapter on ganglion Impar injections for this medical textbook.
  • But now there is just another one that came into print.
  • This one is not so much on procedures but on general musculoskeletal, sports and spine disorders.
  • And this is a medical textbook mainly for physicians that practice musculoskeletal medicine (that treat sports injuries and other musculoskeletal injuries).
  • And basically the idea of this book is to help those physicians to learn about different topics.
  • And in this book the chapter that I wrote is specifically on coccyx fractures and dislocations.
  • It is the very last chapter in the book.
  • The idea of these chapters that I write in medical textbooks…
  • I’m an academic physician in the sense that I’m full-time faculty at a medical school and educating not only patients but also educating physicians.
  • It’s a large part of what I do as part of my profession, as part of my career, and in this case really trying to spread knowledge about how to evaluate and treat patients with tailbone injuries.
  • So… many, many patients fly in to see me from around the country and occasionally internationally.
  • And very commonly one of the things they’ll say is that their local doctors did not know very much about how to evaluate their coccyx pain (tailbone pain) or coccyx injuries (tailbone injuries) and let alone how to treat them.
  • So in addition to the things that I publish and write for patients I also try of course to continue publishing for other physicians to help them with understanding these conditions as well.
  • So it is the very, very last chapter in this book.
  • So… Chapter 102 out of 102 chapters.
  • So the tailbone comes at the end. But that’s fine because it’s in there.
  • So hopefully this will serve as a valuable resource for physicians.
  • You can see that this chapter is specifically on coccyx fractures and dislocations.
  • This image here showing a fracture at the tailbone and then the text describing all about that.
  • Basically discussing here everything from the definition as far as fracture versus dislocation.
  • The diagnosis of fractures and dislocations.
  • There’s another image here you may like to see.
  • This is showing a dislocation at the coccyx or tailbone right there where the arrow is pointing.
  • Talking about the things to consider…
  • How to make the diagnosis by your history… your physical examination findings…
  • The different types of imaging studies…
  • Getting the appropriate x-rays or MRI or in some cases CT scans bone scans, etc. depending on the specifics in a given patient…
  • And then talking about the different treatment options.
  • So, again… many patients who are watching my videos will know me from either the videos or the online articles that I write, or from the book that I’ve written specifically for patients, which is “Tailbone Pain Relief Now!”
  • But the bulk of what I do over the last twenty some years in academic medicine is actually working to educate physicians as well, which is through textbook chapters and things along those lines.
  • So it is the last chapter but the important thing is that it’s in there to serve as an educational resource for physicians who are evaluating patients with tailbone pain.
  • So this is one book I would recommend certainly if you’re a musculoskeletal physician   interested in learning more about a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
  • This is available through Springer which is a major medical publisher.
  • Or certainly available through your medical textbook bookstores and online of course at Amazon etc.
