Pudendal nerve entrapment: pudendal nerve entrapment treatment in Terrassa

What it involves

Specialised physiotherapy in Terrassa: each plan is tailored to your injury and your situation. First we assess, then we choose the technique.

  • Specialised assessment of the pelvic area
  • Percutaneous neuromodulation and nerve desensitisation techniques
  • Manual myofascial work on the pelvic muscles
  • Coordination with other specialists when needed

Common symptoms

  • Pain, burning or numbness in the perineal, genital or anal area.
  • It usually gets worse when sitting and better when standing or lying down.
  • It can come with pelvic or lower back discomfort.

How we assess it

I take a detailed history and examine the lower back, pelvis, hip and the gluteal and external pelvic-floor muscles, to locate where the nerve may be compressed or irritated. With ultrasound I assess the tissues of the area.

How we treat it

Manual therapy, nerve mobility, ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation when indicated, progressive exercise and day-to-day advice, such as sitting positions. The plan is individual and, when appropriate, coordinated with your doctor.

When to see a doctor

If there is loss of bladder or bowel control, fever or a sudden change in sensation, see a doctor without waiting.
