What are the side effects of treatment?
The point of PRM’s treatment is that it is extremely safe due to using ultrasound guidance which allows us to see where the needle is being placed and the use of extremely small diameter needles which are very safe.
The safety of the PRM Protocol™ is demonstrated through the fact that thousands of patients nationwide have undergone our office based procedures and the risk of an adverse event is less than .001%. Our office based procedures use a very small diameter needle allowing for both safety and comfort. The PRM office based treatments are simple, quick and safe procedures where you go on with your day afterwards.

Because our treatment aims to create space around the tightened chronically guarded muscles and restricted nerves, patients may experience some soreness or aching following the injection. This is a normal reaction to space being created within the pelvic floor.
You should always take the medication recommended by your pelvic pain specialist, and follow their directions for how to take care of yourself following treatment.

We always watch for vasovagal, especially during a patient’s first treatment. This is a rare side effect that can be caused by patients being anxious for their appointments.
We always combat this by providing our patients with a snack, and juice, and observing them while they sit on ice following treatment.
