Power Spine & Pain: Relief for Pelvic and Tailbone Pain with Ganglion Impar Blocks
At Power Spine & Pain, ganglion impar blocks are offered to help alleviate chronic pain in the pelvic region and tailbone. This procedure involves an injection that targets the ganglion impar, a nerve cluster near the coccyx, and is used to block pain signals coming from this area.
What Are Ganglion Impar Blocks?
A ganglion impar block is an injection of local anesthetic near the coccyx to block the nerve signals associated with pain in the pelvic region or coccyx. This treatment is particularly effective for patients with chronic tailbone pain, perineal pain, and other pelvic pain conditions.

This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Coccygodynia (tailbone pain)
- Pelvic pain

- Pain following pelvic surgery or injury
Benefits of Ganglion Impar Blocks
Key advantages of this treatment include:
- Targeted pain relief: Specifically reduces pain in the coccyx and pelvic area.
- Minimally invasive: Requires only a small injection and has minimal recovery time.
- Quick results: Pain relief can be felt within minutes after the injection.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Patients may experience immediate pain relief following the procedure, with the effects lasting for several weeks or longer. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain long-term pain management.
