Brief Answer:
Pain not related to breech delivery
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concerns about coccyx pain and breech birth.
Let me reassure you that your pain is unrelated to breech delivery.
Your chiropractor is wrong. Breech birth is unrelated to such pains.
This pain appears to be related to arthritis commonly seen at this age. I would have referred you to an orthopedician for detailed evaluation of back with an X Ray to confirm diagnosis.
