Abstract

Objective: To outline a successful return to cycling protocol in a patient recovering from chronic coccydynia.

Case presentation: A 34-year-old female recreational cyclist suffered chronic coccydynia for one year. She received a cortisone shot that provided relief until she had a hysterectomy, which then intensified the pain. She was referred to a pelvic floor physiotherapist where she was discharged after one visit due to no pelvic abnormalities. She then sought chiropractic care where she went through a return to cycling protocol based around coccydynia rehabilitation and pain management. The patient was able to return to cycling after 22 weeks of chiropractic care.

Summary: Coccydynia is a painful condition that has no universally accepted treatment or guidelines for management. As such, there are no return-to-sport protocols for individuals who have developed coccydynia in sports. Here we present an evidence-based protocol that can assist practitioners in the management of chronic coccydynia.
