Why a multidisciplinary approach makes sense...

Pelvic and sexual pain can be caused by physical or psychological problems. Physical pain can create emotional problems and emotional problems can contribute to physical pain. Once the cycle starts, the emotional and physical problems interact and feed upon each other.  Treatment of only one aspect of this problem is often doomed to failure.

We are a multidisciplinary team of independently practicing professionals in the fields of gynecology, sex therapy, physical therapy and pain management providing specialized expertise for women with these sexual and pain problems.
