Physical Therapy for Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain is pain or discomfort felt in the lower abdomen area. Pelvic pain is more common in women than men. Pelvic pain for women can be a sign that there is a problem with one of the organs such as uterus, ovaries or cervix. There are many causes and symptoms of pelvic pain.

Causes of pelvic pain may include:

• Pelvic joint problems
• Muscle weakness or imbalance
• Tenderness in the muscles of abdomen
• Pressure on nerves
• Nerve conditions (pinched nerve)
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Broken pelvic bones
• Disease or cancer

Symptoms of pelvic pain may include:

• Trouble walking
• Trouble sleeping
• Reduced range of motion in the hips
• Pain
• Numbness
• Inability to sit for a long period of time

Your doctor may recommend lab, imaging, or other medical tests to find the cause of your pelvic pain. The treatment will depend on the cause, how bad the pain is, and how often it occurs. Physical therapists are movement experts. Physical therapy can help patients who are experiencing pelvic pain. 

Physical therapists can manage symptoms of pelvic pain and restore strength, flexibility, range of motion and function to the muscles and joints. At Reddy Care Physical, Occupational and Aquatic Therapy, your physical therapist will evaluate you and design a unique treatment plan tailored specifically for you and your needs. Your physical therapy treatment plan may include strengthening exercises, stretches, correcting your posture, exercise rehabilitation, massage therapy and manual therapy.
