I am a coccyx pain patient, not a doctor. You can read my story here). I created this site in 1998 because I could find little useful information about coccydynia on the internet. As the site developed, it was shaped by the suggestions that people made, and by the questions that people asked me. I have tried to make it easy to find the information that you want.
This site, www.coccyx.org, is owned and run by me, Jon Miles. It contains no advertising and accepts no sponsorship. I am responsible for what appears. You can contact me here.
The purpose of the site is to provide information on coccyx pain to help sufferers and to inform health professionals. Because the site is mainly aimed at the general public, I have attempted to avoid medical jargon where possible, and to write clearly for everyone, even if they are not native speakers of English. If any part is not clear, please let me know.
The contents are written by me, unless it is clear from the context that they are written by someone else. No 'Artificial Intelligence' is used. Some contents, such as abstracts of medical papers, are copied from elsewhere on the Web. Over 3,000 people have posted their stories, and hundreds of sufferers, doctors, manual therapists of various kinds and other medical practitioners have contributed suggestions or material to the website. Private emails are quoted only with the permission of the sender, who can remain anonymous if they wish. If anyone wishes to have their contribution removed, I will remove it.
I am not a doctor, and make no claim to medical expertise. The contents are as accurate as I can make them, though I can give no guarantees. If you see any errors or omissions, please let me know, and I will put them right.
I claim copyright on the contents of this site. But you may use the material here in any way you wish, except for commercial gain.
