OCEAN: 
Pudendal Neuralgia is a chronic pelvic pain condition caused by damage to the main nerve in the pelvis. The causes are vast, from perhaps a fall on the buttocks, cycling, horseback riding, straining with constipation, sitting long lengths of time, surgery in the abdominopelvic region, delivery of a child,or lifting inappropriately to name a few. Symptoms range from burning, aching, stabbing, itching, and aching in the genital region and even areas outside of the pelvis, perhaps in the buttocks, back, abdomen or inner thighs. Sitting is the most limiting, causing people disturbances in their work, ability to concentrate, drive or even go on vacations or enjoy their hobbies. Symptoms may also include bladder urgency and frequency or pain with voiding or having a bowel movement. Regardless, the symptoms are consuming and sometimes relentless. Pelvic PT however has been proven to be one of the most effective treatments for Pudendal Nueralgia. Through skilled manual therapy, nerve glides, stretches, breathing, biofeedback, and posture education, many of our PN patients have returned to what they once thought they would never do again.
