You Don't Have to Suffer with Vulvodynia Pain Anymore
If you've been diagnosed with vulvodynia (or haven't had a formal diagnosis), you've likely had a frustrating, confusing and challenging time getting answers. Whether it's been going on for months, years, or decades you may have been offered medications to mask the pain or even an unnecessary surgery. But you likely haven't had a true explanation of why this is happening or gotten to the underlying cause.
​
The root cause of vulvodynia or pelvic pain is almost always found within the pelvic floor. Tight muscles irritate the nerves that run through the pelvis, which can radiate pain anywhere those nerves run. Unless the pelvic floor is addressed, other interventions just mask the underlying problem.
​
We want to help you find lasting relief from vulvodynia pain and symptoms. Our expert pelvic health team specializes exclusively in these difficult-to-treat conditions so you know you're getting the best care.

We've helped thousands of patients with vulvodynia, vaginismus, vestibulodynia or other pelvic pain from Orange County and all over the world; we'd love to help you find lasting relief and feel confident in your body again!

What is Vulvodynia?
Vulvodynia literally just means "pain in the vulva area." You might have also hear the terms vaginismus, vestibulodynia (where the pain is focused in the vestibule), dyspareunia (painful intercourse), or you may not even have a formal diagnosis.
​
What causes Vulvodynia?
The single biggest cause for vulvar pain are tight muscles in the pelvic floor. When they irritate the nerves running through the pelvis it can radiate pain anywhere the nerve runs, including right to the vulva area.​
​
What are some other signs of pelvic floor dysfunction?
Many patients diagnosed with vulvodynia or pelvic pain also have associated issues like low back pain, hip or groin pain, painful intercourse, urinary urgency/frequency or urinary incontinence, among other common pelvic floor issues.
How does pelvic physical therapy resolve vulvodynia symptoms?
Unlike treatments like pain medication, topical analgesics or surgery, pelvic floor physical therapy ​gets to the underlying "why" of vulvodynia for true, lasting relief. Once those muscles begin functioning normally and stop irritating the nerves, you can be confident in living pain-free!
​
I've been to many other practitioners....what makes PelvicSanity different?
​The vast majority of our patients with vulvodynia, pelvic pain or painful intercourse have been to multiple other practitioners before finding relief with PelvicSanity. We specialize exclusively in these complex cases, we take a true head-to-toe approach and we look for the underlying "why" of what is going on. Other practitioners might see one or two patients with this diagnosis a year - we see that each day. Our mission is to help patients with complex conditions find true, lasting relief in a safe, supportive environment.
