Shockwave Therapy For Coccyx Pain (Coccydynia)

  • Shockwave therapy can be a viable alterative to more drastic and invasive surgical measures which carry higher risks and potential longer recovery periods

  • Clients who do not respond to conservative treatment measures including activity modification and stretching or strengthening exercises should consider shockwave therapy.

  • Shockwave therapy can be targeted at the local area of pain stimulating increased blood flow and stem cell activity encouraging healing and providing pain relief

  • Evidence based treatment protocols recommend a minimum of 3 treatments, each 7-10 days apart. More treatments may be indicated and this will be assessed on an individual basis
