Recently, a new group of images (x-rays, MRI, anatomic models, etc) have been added to the www.TailboneDoctor.com website, to show a variety of educational points related to tailbone pain (coccyx pain, coccydynia) including:

• Tailbone fractures (fractured coccyx, "broken tailbone", chipped tailbone, "cracked tailbone")

• Non-traumatic tailbone pain (coccyx pain, aching or discomfort that began without any trauma or injury at all)
• Figuring out the causes of your tailbone pain (causes of a sore tailbone, painful coccyx, coccyx bone pain, tail bones that hurt)
