Outpatient Musculoskeletal Therapy Center
Treatment for Pelvic Pain, Coccyx Pain and Incontinence
Each patient referred to the outpatient musculoskeletal therapy center for the treatment of pelvic pain, coccyx pain, and incontinence receives a complete evaluation to assess posture, flexibility, and strength of the lower back, abdomen and pelvis. If a patient's symptoms are related to the pelvic floor, an internal examination may be performed with patient consent. Strength, muscle tension and pain of the pelvic floor will be assessed during this portion of the examination.
After the evaluation, a customized home exercise program will be developed to address any problem areas. Other treatment techniques may include: patient education, manual therapy, ultrasound, heat, electrical stimulation, and biofeedback.
Biofeedback training uses sensitive equipment that enables you to see and/or hear how your muscles are responding to your therapist's instructions. Treatments include the use of a dual channel EMG system which is a computer based module that offers visual and auditory feedback.
