Pelvic pain is pain felt below the belly button — in the pelvis, hips, groin, or tailbone region. When it lasts longer than a few months it's called chronic pelvic pain, and it often involves several systems at once: muscles and joints, nerves, and pelvic organs. Musculoskeletal causes, especially pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and sacroiliac joint problems, are common and highly treatable. Mountain View Pain Center offers coordinated care including pelvic floor Physical Therapy and interventional Pain Management.
Pelvic floor dysfunction — muscles of the pelvic floor that are overactive, weak, or poorly coordinated — can cause pelvic pressure and pain, pain with sitting, and urinary symptoms. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction refers pain to the buttock, groin, and pelvis. Coccydynia causes tailbone pain with sitting. Hip problems, nerve irritation (including pudendal and other pelvic nerves), and post-surgical or postpartum changes also contribute. Pelvic pain can additionally arise from gynecologic, urologic, or gastrointestinal conditions — which is why thorough evaluation and coordination with your physician matters.
If the pelvic floor muscles are part of the problem, see pelvic floor physical therapy.
Aching, pressure, or burning in the pelvis or perineum; pain with sitting; pain with intercourse; tailbone pain; urinary urgency or frequency without infection; and pain that flares with stress or prolonged posture.
We start with a careful history and a musculoskeletal exam of the low back, hips, sacroiliac joints, and pelvic girdle. Our pelvic floor physical therapists perform specialized assessment of pelvic floor muscle function. When findings suggest a non-musculoskeletal source, we coordinate with your gynecologist, urologist, or primary care physician.
