When conventional therapy has failed, the Pain Management Center at South Pointe Hospital specializes in treating persistent pain coming from the limbs, trunk, pelvis or urogenital areas.
Often this type of pain is caused by ovarian cysts, cancer, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, kidney and bladder problems, an accident or injury or failed back surgery. Factors that contribute or compound musculoskeletal pain include poor posture, incorrect lifting and obesity.
Following a complete medical evaluation, pelvic pain relief may begin with:
· Electrical nerve stimulation
· Implanted medication devices
· Lifestyle changes
· Medication management
· Nerve blocks
· Physical therapy
· Relaxation techniques
