Finding Relief from Pelvic Pain
Are you experiencing persistent pelvic pain that disrupts your daily life? At Mana Physical Therapy, we offer non-invasive, research-driven solutions to help you regain comfort and functionality.
Pelvic pain can result from issues with the muscles, nerves, or joints in the pelvic region and often causes symptoms such as discomfort in the lower abdomen, genitals, or lower back. Our team is here to provide individualized care and effective treatment strategies.
Common Sources of Pelvic Pain
The pelvic floor supports essential organs like the bladder, bowels, and reproductive system. Dysfunction in this area can lead to conditions such as:
- Urinary Incontinence: A sign of underlying pelvic floor issues.
- Sexual Dysfunction: Painful intercourse or erectile dysfunction linked to pelvic floor impairments.
- Endometriosis: Chronic pain and heavy periods caused by tissue growth outside the uterus.
- Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate leading to pelvic discomfort.
- Pudendal Neuralgia: Damage to the pudendal nerve causing pain or numbness in the lower pelvic area.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Our physical therapists take a comprehensive approach to pelvic pain management, starting with a thorough evaluation. Treatments may include:
- Pelvic Floor Manual Therapy: Gentle manipulation to release tension and improve muscle function.
- Targeted Exercises: Strengthening and stretching tailored to your needs, often supplemented with biofeedback.
- Pain-Relief Modalities: Techniques like electrical stimulation to ease discomfort and enhance muscle control.
- Bladder Training: Strategies to manage urinary symptoms and increase time between bathroom visits.
