Pelvic & Coccyx Pain
what we do
We know how life-changing coccyx and pelvic pain can be!
Everyday tasks like driving, eating out and socialising all become miserable experiences when we can’t sit down comfortably. Unfortunately, there are a lot of inexperienced clinicians who tell patients:
“There is nothing you can do about it”
“Take some painkillers and it’ll go away by itself”
“If you’re still in pain after a year, we’ll just do the surgery”
All of these statements are wildly inaccurate in most coccyx and pelvic pain cases. In our of 60+ years of combined experience, we have learnt that most people can be helped with manual therapy, rehab, exercise, neural desensitisation exercises, lifestyle adaptations and shockwave therapy.
We have developed a 3-stage treatment plan to help your symptoms in the short & long term.
1. Diagnose – We use a detailed examination to assess what is wrong, then explain how we can help you and how long it will take to see results.
2. Treat – We use deep tissue massage, myofascial stretching, internal and external joint manipulation, medical acupuncture, laser and shockwave therapy. This combination of treatments will be tailored to your specific needs.
3. Cure – Corrective exercises and lifestyle changes to stop your pain from coming back.
TREATMENT PLAN
If your condition may benefit from treatment, then we usually recommend 6-8 sessions of treatment at weekly intervals. If there is no change at all within 6-8 treatments, then we generally will change the treatment plan or refer you onwards to our network of specialists.
However, some cases may take longer to show improvement due to severe damage or a complex medical history. Your clinician will let you know your plan of management during your initial consultation.
COCCYX INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MANIPULATION
Our clinician that is most experienced treating coccyx and pelvic pain is Dr Robert Griffiths (Chiropractor). He has been treating coccyx pain using both internal and external coccyx joint manipulation for nearly 20 years and has lots of amazing testimonials regarding his success with coccyx pain.
We know it can be a bit daunting undergoing this type of treatment, so feel reassured that we always use the gentlest technique possible and work within your comfort limits. 90% of patients report that the treatment is slightly uncomfortable but definitely tolerable.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an advanced medical treatment that uses pressure waves to break up muscular and joint adhesions that can cause a painful coccyx. There is some excellent scientific evidence to suggest that it is effective in reducing pain in coccyx pain patients. We have been using shockwave with great results in our clinics for the past 10 years and regularly see it transform chronic coccyx pain sufferers into happy patients.
SPECIALIST REFERRAL
If you require a referral to a medical consultant, we have a network of specialists that we trust. We will then work alongside them to help manage your condition, whilst you are undergoing medical treatment (e.g. steroid injection therapy, medication etc).
MRI AND X-RAY
If X-rays or MRI scans are needed. We will immediately refer you to our imaging partners at Oryon imaging, who can provide us with same day appointments and results.
