Clinical Nutrition for Pelvic Pain
How Clinical Nutrition Addresses Pelvic Pain
Clinical Nutrition offers a comprehensive approach to managing pelvic pain. This treatment modality focuses on addressing the root causes of your symptoms while supporting your body's natural healing processes.
Naturopathic Approach to Pelvic Pain
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.
