Private Coccyx MRI Scan

Why someone may need a coccyx MRI

A coccyx MRI may be requested when tailbone pain continues, returns repeatedly or follows an injury. It can help when symptoms are affecting daily life and further imaging is needed to assess the area more closely.

Reasons for referral may include:

• persistent tailbone pain
• pain after a fall or direct impact
• discomfort when sitting
• local swelling or tenderness
• symptoms that have not improved with time or conservative treatment
• the need to investigate surrounding soft tissue and bony structures in more detail

What a coccyx MRI scan can show

MRI provides detailed images of soft tissue and bone-related changes around the coccyx and lower pelvic region. Depending on the referral reason, it may help assess:

• inflammation around the coccyx
• soft tissue changes in the surrounding area
• signs of injury
• ongoing pain where the cause is not clear from symptoms alone
• related changes in nearby structures that may be contributing to discomfort

What happens at your appointment

You will complete standard MRI safety screening before the scan. During the appointment, you will be positioned carefully to allow the area to be imaged as clearly as possible. The scan itself is non-invasive, and our team will explain the process before it begins.

The appointment usually takes around 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the imaging required.
