Why Does My Coccyx Hurt When Sitting? Find the Right Chair for Coccyx Pain
Many people suffer from coccyx pain when sitting in office chairs, and there can be several causes of this discomfort. The best chair for coccyx pain provides the necessary support to prevent pressure on the lower back and tailbone, reducing discomfort in the coccyx region. Poor posture and a sedentary lifestyle, like slouching, can also lead to coccydynia, an inflammation of the tailbone causing pain while sitting. Other potential causes include injury or trauma to the area, congenital defects, and pelvic instability, often resulting from childbirth or activities that strain the lower back muscles.
CoreChair is designed specifically for those with coccyx pain that can reduce or even eliminate this discomfort by providing support for both your lower back and tailbone area. CoreChair with features like adjustable pelvic support, that encourages optimal lumbar curvature, adjustable seat depth (to ensure your legs are at a greater than 90-degree angle to your torso), and a comfortable cushioning system that takes pressure off of your coccyx joint. CoreChair also helps promote good posture while sitting so you’re less likely to experience discomfort due to slouching or hunching over.
If office chairs aren’t helping alleviate your pain, it’s important to consult a physician or physical therapist, osteopath or chiropractor, who specializes in treating conditions related to the spine and joints for further investigation into what might be causing your pain. Depending on their findings, they may recommend specific exercises or stretches you can do at home as well as more specialized treatments such as physical therapy or even surgery in certain cases. Regardless of the cause of your discomfort, finding office chairs designed with coccyx pain relief in mind can make all the difference when it comes to being able to work comfortably and without interruption.
How should I sit to relieve coccyx pain?
When sitting for long periods of time, it is important to find office chairs that are designed to help alleviate coccyx pain. The human coccyx, or tailbone, is sensitive to pressure and irritation from office chairs that do not have the proper support or cushioning. Fortunately, there are office chairs available today specifically designed to help reduce the strain on the spine and provide relief from coccyx pain.
When shopping for office chairs for coccyx pain, look for ones that provide ample pelvic positioning that encourages good lumbar extension that in turn prevents posterior pelvic tilt that places excessive pressure over the tailbone area. If possible, try out several models before deciding on one so you can find one which feels the most comfortable when sitting in it for long periods of time.
The shape of the seat is critical in an attempt to provide even pressure distribution across the sitting surface and reduce sitting pressure over this tailbone region. The CoreChair Classic and Tango models have a seat design that was originally introduced to assist persons dependent on wheelchairs for mobility. Many in this category had compromised sensation and the primary concern was the prevention of tissue trauma from prolonged excessive pressure. Much of this pressure was caused by poor pelvic positioning but exacerbated by an inability to shift position or an awareness for the need as well as a depletion of muscle tissue that would offer some added protection.
Finally, make sure the office chair you select has a good warranty as warranties typically guarantee repair parts or replacements if something goes wrong with the chair over time. By following these guidelines when selecting office chairs for coccyx pain relief, you should be able to greatly reduce your discomfort while working at your desk.
What type of chair should you sit in with coccyx pain?
When it comes to office chairs for coccyx pain, selecting the right chair is essential to managing your discomfort and relieving pain. It is important to pick a chair that actively supports your pelvic-lumbar region and helps keep you in an ergonomically correct posture while sitting. CoreChairs includes cushioning and shape that reduces pressure on the tailbone area.
Another feature that makes CoreChair designed specifically for individuals with coccyx pain so comfortable is tilt control. Tilt control allows you to adjust the angle of your seat over time while sitting without having to get up every time you want a change in position. This helps relieve pressure points over the tailbone and along your spine, especially if you have a tendency to slouch while working long hours at a desk job.
Finally, it’s important to invest in office chairs that are made of high quality materials that are designed to last over time. Make sure the office chair has five-star base construction for maximum stability and durability when you’re seated in it for long periods of time. When shopping for an office chair tailored toward managing coccyx pain, consider these features before making your purchase – they will surely make all the difference when it comes to enjoying a comfortable workday!

CoreChair Benefits for your health
CoreChair– your simple solution to back pain.
Similar to an orthotic device that is designed to embrace and support various boney structures and joints within our bodies, CoreChair optimizes pelvic support with a complimentary sculpted seat and pelvic support cushion. In harmony, these cushions embrace your pelvis to encourage an upright neutral pelvic orientation. Like building a house, we need to start with a good foundation.
The outcome is a stable base that allows balance in our spine as well as the ability of our spine to work as designed with ease of natural movement through flexion, extension and rotation.
A healthy spine also requires a diversity of movement which involves stimulating blood flow, mobilizing the joints, strengthening core muscles and hydrating the vertebral discs. Often when we experience back pain our tendency is to rest up and stop strenuous activity. While this may be recommended in the short term, long term it may not be helpful. Movement and specific back exercises are needed to help alleviate and remedy back pain. Moving on a CoreChair provides an excellent opportunity to gradually work the back and core in a controlled manner to help avoid stiffness, strengthen and alleviate pain.
A study completed by Memorial University concluded that participants sitting in the CoreChair adopted a more upright posture, experienced less back pain and stiffness and had enhanced blood flow when compared to sitting in a traditional office chair.
Reduced Back Pain
Pelvic support provides the foundation for a balanced healthy spine to prevent slumping, optimize posture, and reduce back pain and discomfort.
Core Strength
Movement is the key to maintaining core strength and more movement will definitely build strength. One absolute is that if you don’t use it you will lose it.
Extraordinary comfort meets incredible pelvic support.
Proper distribution of our weight when sitting is a critical factor in chair selection as it translates into seating comfort. Poorly designed chairs can result in uncomfortable pressure points and restriction of circulation. The seat of the CoreChair is aggressively sculpted to embrace your sit bones and provide even weight distribution allowing your circulation to flow freely, so you can focus on your work, not your discomfort.
Graduate students from Cornell University (with guidance from Dr. Alan Hedge), investigated sitting pressure on CoreChair compared to a high-end ergonomic office chair and discovered that CoreChair has more evenly dispersed weight thereby significantly lowering pressure points. This means significantly better comfort for you.
Sculpted Seat
Sculpted seat harmonizes with pelvic stabilizer to relieve pressure points, prevents sliding, and provide added comfort.
Pelvic Support
Our seat cushion works in conjunction with the pelvic support to stabilize the pelvis, optimize sitting posture, and reduce back pain.
Boosting brain power through movement.
Being physically active not only helps us avoid negative outcomes such as chronic disease and obesity, but also helps to boost our brainpower! Cognition, how we understand and interact in the world, related to the brain-based skills needed to learn, remember and solve problems. Physical activity, whether exercise in the gym or incidental movement on your CoreChair, aids our cognitive power by stimulating blood flow to the brain, delivering oxygen and glucose to make us better able to work on tasks both simplistic and complex. Introduce movement into your workday and experience the benefits of improved focus, increased productivity, and more brainpower!
Dr. Leah Bent conducted a four-hour investigation at the University of Guelph and discovered there was a significant reduction in calf circumference indicative of improved lower extremity blood flow and a significant reduction of errors commissioned utilizing SART (Sustained Attention to Response Task) suggesting enhanced cognitive function with blood flow.
Blood Flow
Movement stimulates your lymphatic system and blood flow to keep your vital systems working well.
Brain Power
Increased blood flow to the brain keeps you alert and creative, making you happier and more productive in the workplace.
IMPROVING YOUR HEALTH ONE MOVE AT A TIME.
There’s a distinct difference between exercise and physical activity. Exercise is a subcategory of physical activity and is planned, structured, repetitive and purposeful with a fitness objective. Physical activity includes exercise in addition to other activities that involve movement including pacing, household chores and other recreational activities.
CoreChair is proud to be NEAT™ Certified (NEAT™ stands for the science of Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis, developed by Mayo Clinic). We now know that activity, all activity, is good for our health.
Increased Caloric Burn
Movement burns calories and helps manage our weight and mood, which bolsters our energy! CoreChair users can expect an increased metabolic demand of 20%!
Increased Circulation
Swollen ankles? Movement stimulates your circulation. Not just to make your heart pump but also assists your vascular return.
