About Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain is persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis lasting six months or longer. It affects approximately 15% of women of reproductive age and can significantly impact quality of life, relationships, and daily functioning. Pelvic pain can stem from gynecological conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, urological issues, musculoskeletal dysfunction, or nerve sensitization. Many cases involve multiple overlapping conditions. The pain may be constant or intermittent, sharp or dull, and may worsen with certain activities, positions, or during specific times in the menstrual cycle.
Naturopathic Treatment for Pelvic Pain in Woodinville
Naturopathic treatment for chronic pelvic pain takes a comprehensive, multi-system approach addressing underlying causes, reducing inflammation, and supporting pain modulation. A thorough assessment identifies contributing factors across gynecological, gastrointestinal, urological, and musculoskeletal systems. Anti-inflammatory nutrition reduces systemic inflammation and addresses food sensitivities that may trigger symptoms. Botanical medicines including turmeric, ginger, and nervines help reduce pain and inflammation while supporting nervous system function. Pelvic floor therapy addresses muscle dysfunction, trigger points, and coordination issues that commonly contribute to pelvic pain. Functional testing may identify hormonal imbalances, gut dysbiosis, or inflammatory markers. Stress management and mind-body techniques help modulate pain perception and reduce nervous system sensitization. This integrative approach aims to identify and treat root causes, reduce pain severity and frequency, and improve overall quality of life.
