Mission Statement

Our mission is to decrease the time patients are suffering from pelvic pain.

We believe that the millions of women and men who suffer from pelvic pain should have access to care that provides relief. We don’t believe “a glass of wine will fix it” or that “it’s all in your head”. We will never abandon you – and from leadership to the front office to every pelvic pain specialist you meet, so much of our team has been in your shoes and believes the pelvic pain patient deserves better. This belief is what unifies us all at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine.

The PRM Protocol™ is a proprietary, patented, simple, office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic abdominal pelvic pain by a direct treatment of inflamed pelvic nerves and spastic pelvic muscles which are often the root cause of symptoms. This treatment consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to target inflammation in the pelvis, nerve pain, and pelvic floor muscle spasms. Depending on the condition causing your pelvic pain, other modalities may be needed in addition to our treatment.
