Pelvic floor muscle spasms can lead to significant pain and discomfort, often impacting daily activities and quality of life. In some cases, these spasms may also contribute to urinary incontinence.
At NextPain Care, we prioritize addressing the painful symptoms associated with pelvic floor muscle spasms through a comprehensive and tailored approach. By focusing on non-invasive therapies to strengthen and retrain the pelvic floor muscles, our goal is to help manage pain and support improved quality of life, with an evidenced-based treatment approach.
What we do
Spasms in the pelvic floor muscles, including those controlling bladder function, can cause significant discomfort and pain. These spasms may also contribute to secondary issues like urinary incontinence, affecting your ability to control the urge to urinate. While discussing urinary incontinence can feel difficult, it’s a condition that is estimated to affect over 50% of women and nearly 14% of men and becomes more common with age. Despite this, incontinence and pain from muscle spasms don’t have to be a normal part of life.
At NextPain Care, our approach to managing pelvic floor muscle spasms is comprehensive and patient-focused, with a primary goal of alleviating the pain associated with this condition. By addressing the root cause of the spasms, our care may also help improve symptoms of urinary incontinence, supporting your overall quality of life.
How Can We Help You?
The muscles in the pelvic floor, including the sphincter muscle, are responsible for regulating essential bodily processes, such as bladder and bowel movements. When these muscles don’t correctly contract, relax, and coordinate, you may experience a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain or urinary incontinence.
This condition often develops with age, as the muscles in the pelvic area lose strength and suppleness. However, the sphincter muscle may not function properly due to other causes, such as traumatic injuries, pregnancy, pelvic surgery, being overweight, and overuse (i.e., urinating or passing stools forcefully or too often).
Living with urinary incontinence can be challenging, and it may impact your emotional well-being and daily life. If you experience this condition, you might also face mental health concerns, such as feeling less independent and confident.
The wide range of causes and symptoms of sphincter muscle dysfunction can make an accurate diagnosis essential. Finding the right treatment option that addresses the root cause of the problem is important to regain control over your pelvic health. Here’s where we can help.
