WOMEN'S CONDITIONS
Many obstetricians, gynecologists, family practice physicians, and certified nurse practitioners recommend these treatments as safe and effective interventions and possible alternatives to surgery.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic Pelvic Pain occurs in the lower abdominal region and/or the pelvic floor. This pain may be associated with urination, sexual intercourse, or prolonged sitting. Patients may experience a burning sensation, numbness, or tingling in the genital area. Pain may also be present in the low back and lower abdomen. Chronic Pelvic Pain can lead to difficulty with daily activities and sexual function. Physiotherapy New Mexico offers treatment for pelvic pain that can promote normal function and restore quality of life. Treatment consists of careful evaluation followed by a combination of neuromuscular massage, muscle re-education, biofeedback, visceral/neural manipulation, trigger point therapy/needling and selective strengthening. Once the tissues have been treated and are free to move normally, strength and mobility training promote a return to healthy biomechanics.
Sources of Pelvic Pain
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence affects 20 million individuals nationwide. The muscles of the pelvic floor support internal organs and prevent urine leakage. These muscles can weaken, leading to pelvic floor dysfunction. Our specialized treatment program strengthens pelvic floor muscles and retrains the bladder. This protocol can improve and/or resolve incontinence.
Ask your primary care practitioner about this non-surgical treatment available in Santa Fe and enjoy a restored sense of freedom and confidence.
