It is composed of three to five bony segments held in place by joints and ligaments. Pain in the area of the tailbone, also termed coccydynia, can be caused by a variety of conditions and can lead to either acute or chronic discomfort in this area. Most cases of tailbone pain can be managed at home with conservative measures.

The coccyx is made up of between three and five separate or fused vertebrae.he coccyx articulates with the sacrum through a vestigial disc, and is also connected to the sacrum with ligaments (see Figure 1). There is very limited movement between the coccyx and the sacrum. In This Article: 1  Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain). 2  Anatomy of the Coccyx (Tailbone).
