Bring your brown bag lunch and join us in learning about chronic pelvic pain. 

Chronic pelvic pain is a complex and often debilitating condition that can affect individuals of all ages and backgrounds. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Women: Often related to conditions like endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or childbirth-related trauma.
• Men: Chronic pelvic pain in men can be linked to prostate issues or chronic prostatitis.
• Individuals with pelvic surgery or trauma: Any surgery or injury to the pelvic region can lead to long-term pain and discomfort.
• Chronic health conditions: Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), interstitial cystitis, or fibromyalgia may contribute to pelvic pain.
• Athletes: Repetitive strain from high-impact sports or improper posture can lead to pelvic pain.
• Older adults: Age-related changes in the pelvic floor muscles and tissues may contribute to chronic pain in the pelvic region.

Join us for an informative session on chronic pelvic pain, where we will explore the causes, impact on daily life, and available treatment options. Learn about physical therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle changes that can help reduce pain and improve quality of life. This session is designed for anyone experiencing chronic pelvic pain, caregivers, and individuals seeking to better understand this common but often misunderstood condition. Bring your questions!
