Our unique procedural approach, combined with our providers focusing solely on quarterbacking the care for pelvic pain patients in an interdisciplinary fashion has been the key to our success.
your first appointment at pelvic rehabilitation medicine
You’ll meet with one of our pelvic pain specialists, who focus solely on pelvic pain. We’ll start with reviewing your full health history, including a discussion of your symptoms. This will help us to understand what you’ve been experiencing, so we can work to identify the source of your pain.
Next, we’ll conduct a full pelvic exam. Externally, we will look at your hips, abdomen, and posterior sacrum. Internally, we will evaluate the nerves and the muscles within the pelvic area. This full exam is necessary , as it will help our pelvic pain specialists understand the connection between your symptoms, and your nerve and muscle pain and dysfunction. There is no speculum, so the exam is gentle and more comfortable than that of, for example, gynecological exams you may have experienced in the past.
We will discuss our findings with you and come up with a comprehensive treatment plan TOGETHER. We want you to know that your pain is validated and that we are here to work with you on getting you back to the life you deserve.
Your first treatment at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine to is a very exciting appointment to look forward to, as it is the first step towards pelvic pain relief!
You can expect to receive our ultrasound guided treatment, which will take about 15 minutes. Then, you’ll sit on ice for 15-20 minutes and go on with your day.
Our treatment is safe and effective
With the use of ultrasound-guidance, we are able to pinpoint the muscle locations requiring relief. The ultrasound is what allows us to do everything externally and have the ability to visualize what we’re doing without going inside. We are never treating our patients blind, so this greatly benefits you and provides more comfort, and increases our treatment’s effectiveness.
The nerve blocks use the gentle pain reliever lidocaine and sometimes use anti-inflammatory medication. Risks associated with our treatment are significantly less than 1%. The best part: our patients can receive treatment and go about their day afterwards!
