Next Steps

Follow-up

Follow-up is recommended at the discretion of the patient's doctor and depends on the severity of the injury and the progress the patient is making with medical treatment.

  • Most people do not require follow-up if their coccyx injury is improving with medical treatment.

  • People with chronic coccyx pain, for whom medical therapy has not worked, require more frequent follow-up evaluations and may be referred to other medical or surgical specialists.
