General Self-Care Tips for Relief

While waiting for improvement or seeking professional advice: • Avoid prolonged sitting; stand and walk periodically. Lean slightly forward when seated. • Use a specialized coccyx cushion (wedge-shaped or with a cutout—avoid traditional donut cushions, as they can worsen posture issues). • Apply ice (first 48 hours after injury) or heat for muscle relaxation. • Over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., ibuprofen or acetaminophen) can help reduce inflammation. • Gentle pelvic floor stretches or physical therapy (especially for muscle-related causes) often provides good results.
