Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain) in Pooler

Tailbone Pain Doesn’t Have to Be Permanent—Sit Comfortably Again Without Injections or Surgery
If activities like sitting at your desk, driving, or using the restroom have become painful, you may be experiencing coccydynia—chronic tailbone pain. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we help people across Pooler find lasting relief through personalized pelvic floor therapy, without medications or invasive interventions.
Understanding Coccydynia
Coccydynia is pain located in the coccyx, the small bone at the base of your spine. When irritated or misaligned, this area can become a persistent source of discomfort—especially during sitting or transitions like standing up.
You might experience:
- A sharp or lingering ache at the tailbone
- Pain while sitting, especially on hard chairs
- Discomfort when rising from a seated position
- Painful bowel movements or intimacy
- A feeling of pressure near the lower spine
Whether caused by injury, childbirth, long periods of sitting, or seemingly nothing at all, tailbone pain can deeply impact daily life—but it is treatable.
What Triggers Tailbone Pain?
Coccydynia can develop from a range of sources, including:
- Direct injuries like falls or childbirth trauma
- Sitting for extended periods with poor posture
- Overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles
- Coccyx or sacral misalignment
- Inflammation or scar tissue
- Referred pain from surrounding areas like the lower back
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we look beyond the tailbone alone—assessing the entire pelvic, muscular, and postural system to uncover the root cause.

Success Stories & Testimonials

If I could give Jasmine 10 stars, I truly would. Jasmine is one of the people I owe a huge thank you to for helping me along my journey of having a vba3c. The pelvic therapy was a huge factor in me successfully giving birth to my baby girl. She made sure she listened to my concerns and she made sure that I was well prepared for birthing my baby. She is absolutely wonderful and has an amazing spirit!

After years of issues and countless doctors who just prescribed medication for my symptoms, Dr. Polk is getting down to the root problem of my issues and explains everything in a way that I understand. She is someone who is passionate about what she does and truly cares about her patients. You won’t regret seeing her. I am just thankful someone recommended her to me.

Dr. Polk is AMAZING! I never understood how important pelvic floor therapy was until my midwife recommended it. I started seeing Dr. Polk during pregnancy and have been seeing her postpartum. I strongly believe my delivery went so smoothly because of her! I am WAY more educated about my body and how it works! Thank you Dr. Polk for helping me achieve the goals in pregnancy, birth and now postpartum.
