Pelvic pain can arise from issues involving the muscles, nerves, joints, or spine in the lower back and pelvic region.

At the Gerling Institute in New Jersey, our specialists provide comprehensive, patient-focused care to identify the source of your pain and develop a treatment plan that restores function and long-term comfort.

Pelvic Pain Overview

Understanding Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain describes discomfort, pressure, or aching in the lower abdomen, hips, or pelvis. It can develop gradually or appear suddenly and range from mild to severe. Because the pelvis contains several interconnected systems, musculoskeletal, neurological, and organ-based, finding the exact cause requires specialized expertise.

At the Gerling Institute in New Jersey, we approach pelvic pain from every angle. Our team combines advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and minimally invasive techniques to pinpoint the cause and create a personalized healing and mobility restoration plan.

Common Causes of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain often results from multiple overlapping factors. Our experts take a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to address your condition's structural and neurological components.

Muscle or Nerve Dysfunction

Imbalances in the pelvic floor or irritation of nearby nerves, such as the pudendal nerve, can create chronic pelvic pain or discomfort that worsens with movement or sitting.

Spinal Disorders

Herniated discs, sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, and lower spine misalignment can compress nerves that refer to pelvic region pain.

Gynecologic Conditions

Conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or uterine fibroids often contribute to pelvic or lower abdominal pain in women.

Urologic or Gastrointestinal Issues

Bladder or bowel disorders, including interstitial cystitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), can cause inflammation and pressure in the pelvic area.

Post-Surgical or Injury-Related Pain

Pelvic trauma, childbirth, or scar tissue formation following surgery may lead to stiffness, pain, or limited range of motion.

Symptoms of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain presents differently for everyone. You may experience:

A dull ache or pressure in the lower abdomen, hips, or groin
Sharp pain during sitting, standing, or sexual activity
Pain radiating to the lower back or thighs
Pelvic muscle tightness or spasms
Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations
Changes in urinary or bowel habits

If these symptoms interfere with your daily life, our New Jersey pelvic pain specialists can help identify the cause and restore your comfort.

Diagnosis at the Gerling Institute

Our New Jersey spine and pelvic care team performs detailed evaluations using advanced diagnostic tools and collaborative expertise. Your exam may include:

Comprehensive physical and neurological testing to assess mobility and pelvic floor tension
Advanced imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, is used to view the spine, discs, and surrounding tissues
Diagnostic injections to pinpoint the pain source (e.g., SI joint, facet joint, or nerve root)
Collaborative consultations with gynecology, urology, or pain management specialists when needed

This multidisciplinary approach ensures a clear understanding of the problem and the most effective, personalized recovery plan.

Pelvic Pain Treatment Options in New Jersey

At the Gerling Institute, we prioritize treatments that reduce pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence. We use non-surgical and regenerative options to help the body heal naturally whenever possible.

Conservative and non-surgical options may include:

Customized physical therapy and pelvic floor retraining
Anti-inflammatory or neuropathic pain medications
Image-guided nerve or joint injections
Posture training, ergonomic adjustments, and lifestyle modification
Regenerative medicine techniques, such as PRP therapy or stem-cell–based treatments, when appropriate

If structural issues such as nerve compression or disc damage are contributing to your pain, minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered to relieve pressure and stabilize the area.
