Do not try to crack your lower back or tailbone yourself
If you have pain, stiffness, or pressure, stop and get evaluated by a clinician
Use gentle walking or light movement instead of forceful twisting
Try a warm compress on the area for 15 to 20 minutes
Avoid sitting for long periods; change positions often
Use a cushion or donut pillow if sitting causes tailbone pain
If you want relief, ask a physical therapist or chiropractor to assess you safely
Seek urgent medical care if you have numbness, weakness, bowel or bladder changes, severe pain, or recent injury
