Pudendal nerve entrapment in Terrassa
Reviewed by Oriol Martínez Picas, registered physiotherapist (Col. 10224) · Updated
Assessment and management of pain from pudendal nerve entrapment, with manual therapy and neuromodulation.
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.
