Pelvic pain therapy

Pain therapy at Viveka is designed to address chronic (ongoing) pain – when you feel pain it’s your body’s way of telling you that something is out of balance. We use careful diagnostic and treatment techniques to assess the history of your pain, how it changes and how you feel emotionally. We might use ultrasound scanning to give us important information.

Our objective is to find the underlying causes (e.g. endometriosis, infection, irritable bowel, nerve pressure, muscular or skeletal problems or emotional stress). Sometimes pain results from dysfunction in the pelvic organs or the bowel or the spine even though they look and appear normal. This is called a functional disorder or irritable pelvis and Viveka is well known for diagnosing and treating functional pain.

Your pain therapy at Viveka will involve consulting a specialist gynaecologist and a programme of care that may draw on several disciplines to establish a diagnosis and to treat you. This could include psychotherapy, osteopathy, nutrition and acupuncture as we seek to deliver the full benefit of our integrated approach to your health and wellbeing. You may also require laparoscopic surgery to treat an underlying cause.
