Abstract
Coccydynia is a disorder that decreases quality of life with significant functional failure. Extra-Corporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is used to treat several painful musculoskeletal disorders. A few studies investigated the efficacy of ESWT to treat chronic coccydynia in small groups of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ESWT in the treatment of coccydynia.
