Pelvic & Abdominal Pain Treatment in Indiana and Ohio

Abdominal Pain

There can be many causes of abdominal pain that could come from the gastrointestinal tract, major organs, vascular structures, or nerves in the body. Our physicians will evaluate the patient to determine which imaging might be appropriate to evaluate this pain and whether other specialists need to be involved. Some patients are referred to us by gastroenterologists and oncologists for nerve blocks, called sympathetic nerve blocks, that can help with certain types of abdominal pain. This pain may be caused by pancreatitis, various cancers, or damaged nerves of the abdominal wall.

Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can have a variety of sources that include both pelvic structures and the lumbar spine. Our physicians will evaluate the patient to determine which imaging might be appropriate to evaluate this pain and whether other specialists need to be involved. Endometriosis is a condition that causes chronic pain correlating with menstrual cycles. Advanced therapies such as spinal cord stimulation have been used successfully in managing chronic pelvic pain. In some instances, referred muscle pain from the lumbar spine can cause pain wrapping into the hips. Pelvic and groin pain can also be confused with other conditions such as hip arthritis or sacroiliac joint pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can physical therapy help with chronic abdominal pain?

Yes. Many patients are referred to specialized physical therapy that focuses on the abdominal wall and pelvic floor. If your pain is caused by muscle guarding, or scar tissue from a previous surgery, targeted exercises and manual therapy can significantly reduce your symptoms.

Is the treatment for abdominal pain different if I’ve had a hernia surgery?

Yes. Post-herniorrhaphy pain is often caused by nerve entrapment or irritation from surgical mesh. Our specialists focus on identifying the specific nerves that may be affected, often using ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to provide localized relief.

What role does nutrition play in the American Pain Consortium treatment plan?

While we are pain specialists, we recognize that inflammation plays a huge role in abdominal discomfort. We often provide guidance on anti-inflammatory diets and work with your primary care physician to ensure that your gut health is supporting your interventional pain treatments.
