The tailbone, or coccyx, can often be a source of pain for many people. So, what is the answer to alleviating the pain and discomfort? Well, short of costly chiropractic visits using an orthopedic pillow may solve the problem.
A coccyx cushion is a simple remedy designed specifically with coccyx support and comfort in mind. The coccyx is the end portion of the spine that is often not supported when sitting in a traditional chair. Doctors often prescribe donut cushions when discomfort is mentioned, but this is not necessarily the best remedy.
A true cushion designed with the coccyx in mind will have a cut-out where the coccyx is located. This type of cushion can be a wedge with a slight slope to it. A coccyx cushion can relieve entire back pain when used properly and most individually will notice an improvement within a few days of continual usage.
Often pain can radiate up the entire spine even though the pain is located only in the lower extremity. The wrong type of cushion can often accentuate the discomfort which can lead to more pain and problems over time.
A cushion designed for sitting should be one that can be easily transported, as most individuals with this ailment take the supportive pillow with them to the office and in the car. Because they can be inexpensively purchased, you may wish to buy more than one so they can be left in the areas where the most sitting takes place. Examples of this would include the office, a car, or at a dining room chair. Inflatable Cushions also exist in the event you travel often by plane on a regular basis.
As always, it is best to talk to your healthcare provider and do some research as to what the best remedy will be for your situation. Because these orthopedic pads come in many shapes, sizes, and levels of firmness you will want to make sure it will be a good fit for your needs.
