Without knowing the details of a specific case history, it is impossible to give specific advice. If the coccyx is misaligned, a specific chiropractic adjustment will in most cases resolve the issue.
If the coccyx has fused to the sacrum after being fractured, then other options should be explored.
You should consult with a DC to determine the best course of treatment. Remember that all chiropractors are not created equal, and you should get a thorough physical examination in addition to a chiropractic examination during your first visit.

∙ 10y agoDepending on the angle of the coccyx, a chiropractor can do an internal or external adjustment. An external adjustment is done by placing the thumb over the coccyx and gently motioning it in the direction that is appropriate. For anterior coccyx adjustments, some chiropractors may insert their index finger into the patient's rectum and gently pull it posteriorly.
