A member asked:
Can a coccyx cushion cause complications to your back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically: Coccyx cushions generally do not cause problems with the back and are used to treat coccyx pain by taking pressure off the coccyx when seated. If you have low back pain when using a coccyx pad make sure you have a good lumbar support in the chair you are using.
