The most common ways people injure their coccyx include: Interestingly, since women have a broader pelvis than men they experience the majority of coccyx injuries. The area is made up ofģ-5 bony parts all held in place by ligaments and joints. Your coccyx, more commonly known as your tailbone, is located at the very base of your back and is the very last vertebral column of your spine. This area can be very slow to heal and requires extra special precautions to ensure it heals properly.
Any injury to this area may end in a bruise or more seriously a dislocation or fracture (break) of the coccyx.
There are many accidents that may result in a bruised tailbone, technically known as a coccyx injmy.
