Pelvic Pain Relief Starts Here
Targeted, minimally invasive care to treat pelvic pain and improve daily life
Understanding the Causes and Impact of Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain may be localized to the pelvic region or radiate to the lower abdomen, legs, spine, or buttocks. It can vary from mild discomfort to intense, acute pain and if not properly treated, may develop into a chronic condition.
This pain can stem from a range of causes, including issues in the spine, nerves, muscles, or underlying medical conditions involving the reproductive organs. Identifying the root cause is essential to creating an effective treatment plan.
Pelvic pain can significantly interfere with daily life and limit regular activities. While it is more commonly experienced by women, people of all ages and genders may be affected. Seeking timely care is crucial to prevent the condition from worsening and to restore quality of life.

Causes of Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can have multiple origins, from musculoskeletal and spinal issues to nerve-related or medical conditions.
Musculoskeletal Issues
Pain may be linked to surrounding muscles or bones in the lower back and buttocks:
✔ Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Inflammation in the joints connecting the sacrum and ilium may cause lower back and pelvic pain.
✔ Piriformis syndrome: Compression of the sciatic nerve due to swelling in the piriformis muscle in the buttocks.
Spinal Issues
Spinal conditions may lead to pelvic discomfort:
✔ Herniated disc: Damage or displacement of an intervertebral disc can irritate nerves and cause lumbar and pelvic pain.
✔ Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on nerves, often resulting in pain, balance issues, and leg weakness.
Nerve-related Issues
Pelvic pain may also arise from irritated or compressed nerves:
✔ Sciatica: Caused by irritation or damage to the lower back nerves that extend into the legs.
✔ Pinched nerves: Compression from trauma or other spinal issues can disrupt nerve function and trigger pain signals.
Other Medical Conditions
Pelvic pain may also result from conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or interstitial cystitis.
Symptoms of Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can vary in intensity and duration. It may be constant or come and go, and it often worsens with movement or pressure. Identifying how and when the pain appears can help determine its root cause and guide appropriate treatment.
✔ Persistent or intermittent pain in the pelvic area, possibly radiating to the lower back, legs, or buttocks
✔ Pain that worsens with movement such as sitting, standing, or walking
✔ Sensitivity or tenderness in the pelvic region, especially when touched or under pressure
Diagnosis of Pelvic Pain
To determine the source of pelvic pain, your provider may recommend:
A physical examination of the spine, lower back, buttocks, and legs
Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI
Nerve conduction studies
Pelvic floor muscle evaluation
Treatment Options for Pelvic Pain
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include a combination of the following approaches:
Conservative Treatments
Noninvasive therapies aim to reduce pain and improve mobility:
✔ Pelvic floor rehabilitation through physiotherapy
✔ Posture correction, healthy lifestyle habits, and stress management
✔ Low-impact physical activity
Non-Opioid Medications
These medications help reduce nerve and muscle inflammation without the risk of addiction:
✔ Anti-inflammatory drugs
✔ Muscle relaxants focused on the pelvic region
Injections
Injection therapies may provide fast, targeted relief:
✔ Sacroiliac joint injections to relieve inflammation
✔ Nerve blocks to interrupt pain signals
✔ Trigger point injections for muscle tension
Neuromodulation
This technique uses electrical stimulation to alter nerve activity and reduce pain:
✔ Spinal cord stimulation: Delivers impulses that block pain signals from reaching the brain, particularly in the lower back and pelvic area
Preventing Pelvic Pain
Preventive strategies include lifestyle changes that support overall health:
✔ Staying physically active
✔ Eating a balanced diet
✔ Practicing proper posture
✔ Lifting with correct technique
✔ Drinking water regularly
✔ Managing stress
