A Better Way to Treat Pelvic Pain

Understanding The PRM Protocol™

The PRM Protocol™ is a proprietary, simple, office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain by a direct treatment of inflamed pelvic nerves and spastic pelvic muscles. This treatment consists of a series of pelvic nerve and muscle treatments to target inflammation in the pelvis, nerve pain and pelvic floor muscle spasm. With the PRM Protocol, we Reverse the inflammatory cascade caused by chronic pain conditions, Reset the pelvic environment for pain-free living, and Retrain the pelvic floor nerves and muscles for optimal functionality.

A Better Way to Treat Pelvic Pain

We know that pelvic pain patients are seeking answers for months to years with minimal sustained results. They are placed on multiple medications, including opioids, going from provider to provider searching for answers, and getting many tests with no significant improvement in symptoms. At PRM, we are changing that. The treatment options before the PRM Protocol™ were limited, invasive, and uncomfortable for pelvic pain patients. Dr. Ally created a protocol that was safer and more comfortable, allowing for no anesthesia and no downtime (therefore less risk), and more effective than what was offered previously.

    NO Downtime - Patients go on with their day directly after treatment

    Less Than 30 Minutes

    Ultrasound-Guided - We will never go in blind. We know that guidance should be used for both safety and accuracy as the pelvic nerves and muscles are deep in the pelvis and not visible to the blind eye and there is the risk of injuring pelvic organs, nerve bundles, or vasculature if guidance is not used during a procedure like this.

    Office-Based - No need for anesthesia or Fluoroscopy with the PRM Protocol. Therefore, there is no Radiation Exposure with the PRM protocol. We wanted a treatment that was safrer, more comfortable, and without the risk of radiation exposure for our patients.

Conditions Treated by the PRM Protocol™

Once a proper diagnosis has been given, we offer a proprietary office-based procedure to treat the symptoms of chronic pelvic pain. Depending on the condition causing your pelvic pain, other modalities may be needed in addition to our treatment.

How it Works

Here’s what you can expect when you are a new patient at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine:

  • icon

    First, our providers will ask questions about your medical history and listen to your symptoms to get a full picture of what is going on with you.

  • icon

    Next, an external exam of your hips, abdomen, and posterior sacrum. We’ll also do an exam of your pelvic nerves are evaluated externally with a soft cotton tip.

  • icon

    Next, with your consent, gel is placed on a gloved finger and an internal exam is performed to allow us to evaluate the nerves and muscles within the pelvis.
    There is no speculum required as we are evaluating the pelvic floor muscles and nerves, not the organs.

  • icon

    Sometimes patients will need Imaging to help us understand if there is an associated cause of the pelvic nerve and muscle pain and dysfunction found on the exam.

  • icon

    Oftentimes, treatment with the PRM Protocol™ can be started the same day as there is no downtime. Our patients have been suffering with pelvic pain symptoms for 6+ months. We like to get them on the road to feeling better as soon as we can as the longer the symptoms are present the harder it is for us to resolve them.

  • icon

    The PRM Protocol™ is an ultrasound-guided, office-based procedure that is a direct treatment for pelvic pain that takes less than 30 minutes, and patients have no downtime afterward. This is a series of external ultrasound-guided pelvic peripheral nerve blocks and trigger point injections performed in the office three times on the right, three times on the left, and one treatment to abdominal nerves – you will come for 6 appointments over 6 weeks.
