The Tailbone Podcast: Jon Miles – Researcher and patient

You are not alone as a patient
and there are solutions out there

Our guest in this episode is Jon Miles

Jon is from the UK and a researcher on the topic of tailbone pain. He is worldwide a very well known person in the tailbone world, knows a lot about the literature and also unfortunately understands how it is to suffer from coccyx pain because he did so himself for many years. He underwent almost all the therapies out there and finally had it surgically removed in 1999.

We are going to learn about his personal story as a patient, but also about his interest in the topic which led to the website coccyx.org, the probably biggest online plaform for tailbone pain worldwide that had up to 150.000 unique visitors a month. On this he shares a lot of information, also by specialists, links to scientific research, patient reviews and how to find specialists that treat tailbone pain worldwide.

Next to that we will cover the research he has done himself and presented at the first and second edition of the International Symposium on Coccyx Pain.
