> This area of women's health often goes unmentioned. Do
> you find it embarrassing to discuss this with your
> health care provider? Has any health care provider
> ever asked you if you have pelvic floor pain? This
> silent burden is often left untreated unnecessarily.
> Pelvic pain is not normal.

> Karlene Huntley, the director of our facility, has
> developed a unique and successful program for
> evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor pain. This
> involves careful evaluation of the bony alignment of
> the coccyx (tailbone), sacrum, and pubic bone and
> their relationship to the muscles around. Any
> malalignment of these structures can cause pain in and
> of themselves but can also cause pinching of the
> pudendal nerve. This nerve supplies sensation to the
> pelvic floor and can result in shooting pain.
>
> The goal of treatment is to restore the dynamics of
> the pelvic floor and hence alleviate pain. This
> involves use of soft tissue restoration or 'snapping'
> (also developed by Karlene) to the pubic symphysis,
> tailbone and any small pelvic and hip muscles that
> maybe involved. This maybe followed by pelvic
> corrections (using muscle energy techniques) and
> pelvic stabilization exercises.
>
> We currently have great success treating this problem
> with some women having complete relief of pain that
> they have had for many years in just three to five
> visits. A private room has been constructed away from
> the other treatment areas allowing patients to freely
> talk about their history and symptoms If you would
> like more information regarding this subject, please
> call 1-800-6480698 or 1-812-3396913.
