Is there any impact if the coccyx is crooked?

The human coccyx is a functionally degenerate structure; it is not a load-bearing part or tissue, so a crooked coccyx does not have much impact. If the dislocation of the coccyx has caused the patient to feel pain, then he must go to a regular hospital for X-ray examination and treatment in time. This will reduce the pain caused by the dislocation of the coccyx in time, and early treatment can allow the spine to heal faster.

Generally there is no impact. This is because the coccyx is a degenerate bone in humans. It is located at the very end of the spine and is a functionally degenerate structure. It is no longer a load-bearing bone. When standing, the weight of the body is transferred from the spine to the hip joints and lower limbs. When sitting, the weight of the body is transferred from the spine to the sacroiliac joints, ischium, etc. The nerves in the sacrum and coccyx generally run within the sacral canal of the sacrum and have nothing to do with the coccyx. It's just that the coccyx is relatively small and lacks muscle and soft tissue protection around it, so it is easy to cause fracture displacement in case of trauma, and it is easy to become crooked after healing, but it generally has no effect on the human body.

Treatment methods for coccyx pain

1. Take painkillers

2. Electrotherapy, massage and appropriate exercise can all be helpful.

3. Local injection of analgesics can provide relief for some patients

4. If the coccyx is broken, surgery is required, but it is rare that the coccyx needs to be removed due to severe pain.

5. You need a proper cushion made of moderate material, not too hard or too soft.

Specific treatment can be achieved by changing the sitting posture, that is, try to sit with your thighs to reduce the weight and pressure on the buttocks; when sitting, you can use air cushions or air rings to suspend the painful area to prevent local compression and thus relieve pain.

It can also be treated with infrared, ultrasonic, ion introduction, massage, acupuncture, cupping, Chinese medicine oral and external application, etc. If Chinese medicine is used for external application, drugs that relax muscles and tendons, promote blood circulation and relieve pain can be put into a cloth bag, put into a pot, add water and boil it, then apply wet heat to the affected area; local application of blood circulation and pain relief ointment or musk analgesic ointment is also effective; go to the hospital for local blockade, that is, use 2-4 ml of 2% procaine plus 0.5-1 ml of hydrocortisone acetate to block the local pain point, which can achieve immediate results.
