Raising Awareness for Overlooked Tailbone Pain

Rutgers University

A Rutgers Health expert discusses the day of awareness for the condition and the need for specialized care

Thousands of people suffer with tailbone pain, often struggling to find an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Tailbone Pain Awareness Day, created by Patrick Foye, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS), aims to change that by bringing awareness to this debilitating condition.

This year, Tailbone Pain Awareness Day falls on Nov. 13, and to mark the occasion, Foye will host a Facebook Live session at 7 p.m. that day to educate the public on this often-overlooked condition.

The medical doctor discusses the importance of awareness and cutting-edge advancements in treatment and care at Rutgers Health.
