Tailbone Pain, Buttocks Pain

Our body is constantly subjected to gravity. When sitting, all the pressure exerted by gravity is concentrated on the coccyx and sacrum, which can trigger coccyx pain. Sit-bone pain may also be caused by pressure on the ischium while seated, which can pinch the nerves that pass through the buttock area.

Prolonged sitting also leads to numbness and tingling in the buttocks.

The vibrations and shocks transmitted through the seat while driving add an additional strain on individuals already sensitive in the coccyx.

To relieve coccyx pain, it is essential to reduce pressure on the coccyx and sacrum. A coccyx cushion with an appropriate cut-out prevents pressure on this area while seated. In vehicles, a cushion with a coccyx cut-out prevents vibrations from traveling through the coccyx and sacrum, up the spine, and into the neck.
