Ganglion Impar Injections
- Ganglion Impar injections can be helpful in treating coccydynia (coccyx pain, tailbone pain) and other pelvic pain syndromes.
- The “ganglion Impar” is also called the “ganglion of Walther” or “Walther’s ganglion”.
- Ganglion Impar injections include ganglion Impar blocks (ganglion Impar nerve blocks, using local anesthetics) and ganglion Impar nerve ablation (destruction).
- The ganglion Impar is located at the level of the upper coccyx.
- The ganglion Impar is involved in function of the “sympathetic nervous system” for the pelvis. It also includes nerves that carry pain from certain anatomic locations within the pelvis.
