Can one receive therapy for a broken tailbone?

Yes: You can get gait training with a walker. You can learn exercises to do while your tailbone is sore from the brake. But, it will be sore sometimes for a few months and you will want to get a pillow to sit on and avoid hard chairs in the beginning.

Yes: Concur with dr. Buechel. Believe it or not - acupuncture can also help with the pain.
