X-ray of the lumbar spine and coccyx is recommended when there is suspicion of injury or disease in this area. Here are some cases when an examination may be ordered:

• Pain in the coccyx area that does not go away or intensifies.

• Injuries associated with falls or impacts, when there is a suspicion of a fracture or crack in the coccyx.

• Discomfort or limited mobility in the hip joint or spine, which may be caused by problems with the coccyx.

• Suspected development of osteoporosis or other degenerative changes in the bones.

• Postoperative examinations to monitor the condition of the coccyx.

X-rays of the coccyx help detect these and other pathologies at an early stage, which allows timely treatment and prevention of the development of serious complications.

Preparation for an X-ray of the coccyx does not require any special measures. The procedure is quick and convenient for the patient. It is only necessary to remove all metal objects from the area to be examined. There are no other special requirements, so preparation for an X-ray of the coccyx is not difficult and takes only a few minutes.

Coccyx X-ray is performed at the Oxford Medical Center using modern X-ray equipment that provides high accuracy and minimal radiation exposure.

During the examination, the patient takes a comfortable position: lying on the X-ray table or sitting, depending on the doctor's instructions. To obtain the most accurate results, it may be recommended to take pictures in several different projections. The entire procedure takes up to 10 minutes.

Coccyx X-ray is a safe and effective method that allows you to accurately assess the condition of the coccyx and surrounding structures, detect pathologies at an early stage and prescribe appropriate treatment.

After the examination, the patient will receive a report with a detailed description of the coccyx X-ray, which will allow the doctor to determine the diagnosis and the need for treatment.

A coccyx X-ray can detect a wide range of pathologies:

• Traumatic injuries: fractures coccyx, cracks, dislocations or sprains.
• Degenerative changes: osteoarthritis, degeneration of the intervertebral discs, a decrease in the height of the discs, which can cause pain in the coccyx area.
• Consequences of inflammatory processes: infections or inflammation that can spread to the spine and coccyx.
• Tendency to the formation of calcifications or fibrosis: an X-ray clearly reflects any changes in the structure of bone and cartilage tissues.

An X-ray of the coccyx allows the doctor to assess the condition of the bone structure and detect any changes that may be associated with injuries or diseases. In the case of injuries, an X-ray of a broken coccyx allows you to clearly determine the location and characteristics of the fracture, which makes it possible to prescribe appropriate treatment. In the absence of coccyx pathologies, a normal X-ray confirms the healthy state of the bone structure, indicating the absence of changes such as fractures or degenerative processes.

X-ray of the coccyx at the Oxford Medical clinic is performed using modern digital equipment, which provides high accuracy of images with minimal radiation exposure. This method is effective for diagnosing injuries, degenerative changes and inflammatory processes. The cost of the X-ray can be found here.
