Understanding Pelvic Pain: Comprehensive Care and Treatment at Axis Health Center
What Is Pelvic Pain?
The pelvis is a central part of your body, connecting your spine to your lower extremities and housing vital organs, including those involved in reproduction. It’s also where some of the body’s strongest muscles attach. However, this critical area is also prone to discomfort and pain, which can arise from various causes and affect your daily life.
At Axis Health Center, our team of experts—including physiotherapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists—specializes in treating pelvic pain, particularly issues related to reproductive health and the pelvic floor dysfunction. This type of pain can be both physically limiting and emotionally challenging, often interfering with personal functions like bowel and bladder control or sexual activity.
Common Causes of Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can stem from several sources, and its location often points to the underlying issue. Pain in the back might be related to lower back conditions, while pain in the front may indicate hip joint problems. Common causes include:
- Pelvic Cramps: Often associated with conditions like endometriosis or menstrual cramps, pelvic cramps can be debilitating.
- Endometriosis: A condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside it, causing severe pain and often leading to menstrual cramps.
- Postpartum Pelvic Pain: After childbirth, many new mothers experience strained or torn muscles and connective tissues in their pelvic floor, leading to significant discomfort.
- Urinary Incontinence: Common during pregnancy and after childbirth, incontinence can worsen in the third trimester and persist post-delivery.
- Abdominal Surgery Pain: Pain in the pelvic region can also occur after abdominal or reproductive surgeries, or orthopedic procedures involving the spine or hip joints.
Effective Treatment with Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
At Axis Health Center, we offer pelvic floor rehabilitation, a highly effective treatment to relieve pelvic pain and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Whether you’re dealing with postpartum pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, or recovery from abdominal surgery pain, our skilled practitioners can help you find relief.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation targets the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that make up the pelvic floor. These structures support your body’s core and play a crucial role in your most intimate functions. Strengthening these muscles can alleviate symptoms, improve function, and prevent future issues.

When you visit Axis Health Center, your journey to relief begins with a thorough physical evaluation. Our experts will identify any restrictions or limitations contributing to your pelvic pain and create a tailored treatment plan based on your specific needs.

- Chiropractic Adjustments: Targeted to the sacrum, pelvis, and lumbar spine will help to mobilize the joints and promote better pelvic health.
- Targeted Stretches and Strengthening Exercises: Designed to enhance mobility, improve function, and support recovery in your pelvic region.
- Pelvic Floor Exercises: Focused on strengthening the muscles beneath your bladder to help treat and eliminate issues like urinary incontinence.
- Massage Therapy: To alleviate pain, improve circulation, and support the healing process.
