Coccyx: Tailbone, Sacral Spine, and Coccydynia Anatomy

The spine is composed of three major components: the cervical spine, the thoracic spine, and the lumbar spine. However, below the lumbar spine is the sacral spine, which contains the sacrum and at the very bottom, the coccyx (tailbone). Coccydynia refers to pain that occurs in the coccyx of the spine.
