Radial and Focused ESWT in the Treatment of Coccydynia According to Age and Body Mass Index

To date, focused and radial types of ESWT have been effectively used in the treatment of coccydynia. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of ESWT in coccydynia have not been done. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate comparative effects of radial and focused ESWT options on coccydynia.
