- Date: each year in mid-November.
- Goals:
- Raise awareness of tailbone pain (coccyx pain) and advocate for patients suffering from this.
- Provide educational resources to support people with tailbone pain, helping them find useful information about the most modern tests and treatments.
- Educate healthcare providers, as tailbone pain is often under-diagnosed and poorly understood, since most doctors have little or no training about this condition.
