At Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine, our pelvic pain specialists provide a functional, rehab approach to pelvic pain. When you visit one of our offices, you spend an hour with your doctor reviewing in detail your medical history and symptoms. Then, we perform an internal exam (no speculum) to evaluate your nerves and muscles. Together, we'll discuss an individual treatment plan that gets to the root cause of your pain and helps you to feel better. The best part: you can begin treatment the same day!

At PRM, our mission is to decrease the time patients are suffering from pelvic pain symptoms.

Some women can present with pelvic floor dysfunction after their hysterectomy, because the pelvic floor is often weakened from this hysterectomy, they are now feeling what could be a prolapse. A complete physical examination is necessary to diagnose and treat a woman with pelvic pain post hysterectomy. We see patients at five to six weeks post hysterectomy for an examination of their pelvic floor. At that time, we will often prescribe physical therapy related to their pelvis to treat and rehabilitate their pain post hysterectomy. Many of these women don't necessarily present with pain and may present with urinary incontinence.

If they do, we can also diagnose these women and get them the appropriate care that they may need. As physiatrist's our end game is to rehabilitate the pelvis. When women lose their uterus, a major reproductive organ, they often feel depressed on top of feeling like they are now having symptoms related to bowel and bladder from the loss of that reproductive organ. For these patients, we try to use a multimodal approach, incorporating pelvic physical therapy, as well as different medication options and suppository options if we find necessary. Many times these patients may require a trigger point or nerve block injections while they are concomitantly getting treated by their pelvic physical therapist.
