At Priority Physical Therapy, our expert physical therapists in Palmyra, MO are dedicated to helping you overcome pelvic pain and embrace a pain-free future using evidence-based pelvic physical therapy techniques.

Pelvic pain is a common yet often misunderstood issue affecting both men and women. It encompasses discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen, genitals, or lower back, often caused by dysfunction in the pelvic region’s muscles, nerves, or joints. 

Pelvic physical therapy addresses a wide range of conditions, such as:

  • Pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Interstitial cystitis
  • Endometriosis
  • Prostatitis
  • Pudendal neuralgia

According to research, pelvic physical therapy is a highly effective treatment that significantly improves 70-80% of patients experiencing pelvic floor disorders. By employing a comprehensive approach to pelvic health, our physical therapists at Priority Physical Therapy work closely with you to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals.

Common limitations and symptoms associated with pelvic pain conditions include urinary and bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and chronic pain. At Priority Physical Therapy, our skilled physical therapists utilize various techniques, such as manual therapy, biofeedback, and therapeutic exercise, to alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being.

What Are Some of the Common Sources of Pelvic Pain?  

Your pelvic floor is a “sling” of muscles at the base of your core that support your bowels, bladder, prostate (in men), and sexual organs (in women).  When these muscles are impaired, it can lead to several types of painful pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Our team of physical therapists can help you identify the source of your pelvic pain–allowing you to receive the best possible treatment for your needs. Here are some of the more common sources of pelvic pain and their accompanying symptoms:

Endometriosis

This chronic gynecological disease occurs when uterine-like tissue grows outside the uterus. It can lead to extremely heavy or painful periods, mood changes, and painful intercourse.

Prostatitis

This condition occurs when the prostate becomes inflamed, leading to pain throughout the pelvic area, including the genitals, lower abdomen, and lower back.

Pudendal Neuralgia

This chronic pain condition occurs due to damage to the pudendal nerve, which runs throughout the lower buttocks, the area around the anus and rectum, and the genitals. The most common symptom is pain, numbness, or tingling in the affected area, which is most acute when sitting.

Urinary Incontinence

Although this condition isn’t necessarily painful, it can result from weakened pelvic floor muscles and often indicates an underlying pelvic floor dysfunction.

Sexual Dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction, including painful intercourse or erectile dysfunction, can sometimes stem from pelvic floor impairments.

At Priority Physical Therapy, we provide a discreet, nonjudgemental environment where you can freely share your symptoms–allowing our physical therapists to get to the root of your pelvic floor issues so we can find a solution that works.

  • Modalities: Certain techniques, such as electrical stimulation (TENS) or hot and cold therapy, can help reduce pain.
  • Bladder Training: If you’re struggling with urinary incontinence, bladder training can help you go longer between bathroom breaks.
