DYK: With the PRM Protocol™, 75% of our patients have experienced a statistically significant improvement in pain and function, 88% of patients stated they missed 0 days of work due to their pelvic pain in the last 3 months, and 96% are not needing to go to the ER for their pain now that they have a PRM pelvic pain specialist on their team. The PRM Protocol™ is a proprietary, simple, office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain by a direct treatment of inflamed pelvic nerves and spastic pelvic muscles. This treatment consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to target inflammation in the pelvis, nerve pain, and pelvic floor muscle spasms. 💉 This treatment consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to target: 🟣 Inflammation in the pelvis 🟣 Nerve pain 🟣 Pelvic floor muscle spasm Patients often ask us about our treatment, why a series? Patients need a series of treatments because at PRM, our providers are treating both the nerves and the muscles in the pelvis - this is what is causing your symptoms. The pelvis has two sides. We treat each muscle one time and we describe it as a trip around the pelvis alternating Right and Left. We know that when in chronic pain your nerves are firing and often in hyperactive state so we need to calm them down! This takes several treatments to RESET your pelvic nerves to a calm state.

We love hearing from our patients about how PRM has impacted them and we especially love hearing from patients like Irma who have been through so much and we were able to change how healthcare feels for them. We know that pelvic pain patients, especially patients who have been suffering for so long with misdiagnoses, spend a lot of time looking for doctors who listen, and we are honored to be a part of their care team - and that includes everyone from our providers to our front office staff.

Pain shooting down my hips and legs made it almost impossible to comfortably walk. After a few weeks of their treatment plan I was able to actively enjoy my Italy vacation easily walking 23000 steps a day! Dr Sandhu and her team ask questions and truly listen to you.

Persistent pelvic pain impacts 15% of women throughout their lifetime. This disease process has been misdiagnosed, undertreated, ignored, and silenced. We know that women’s health is overall understudied and is often overlooked in the healthcare system. @doctor.allyson was recently featured for Rosy, discussing vaginismus, which is a condition that causes a woman’s vagina to spasm or squeeze involuntarily when something enters it, causing discomfort or pain. ❗“Vaginismus is often difficult to diagnose for many reasons. For one, most imaging and medical work-ups for someone with vaginismus will often appear normal. Frequently the condition can only be accurately diagnosed through an internal vaginal exam performed by a physician with sexual health and pelvic pain expertise.” If you believe you may be suffering from symptoms relating to vaginismus, at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM), we help women who experience pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction as a result of vaginismus to find the relief they need.

I have been looking everywhere for someone to help me with stage 4 endometriosis. I scrolled around online and found this place. I was worried because it was new and most people you come across don't know very much about endometriosis. Dr. Tailor and her staff are amazing and very informative. I lucked out with this facility. I drive 3hours any every other weekend to try something new to help my endometriosis. So if you are looking for Doctor that specializes in it I highly recommend.
