Pelvic Pain & Vaginismus
Pain During Intimacy Isn't Something You Just Live With
If sex hurts, if tampons feel impossible, if you've been avoiding intimacy out of fear — you're not broken, and you're not alone. Pelvic pain and vaginismus are treatable, and most patients feel meaningful improvement in just a few visits.
Do You Recognize This?
Sound Familiar?
If any of these resonate, you're not imagining it — and you're not alone.
Pain during sex or tampon use
Burning, stinging, or tightness at the vaginal opening
Avoiding intimacy out of fear or anticipation of pain
Muscle spasms or clenching you can't control
Pain that's gotten worse over time, not better
Feeling like something is 'wrong' but no one can explain it
What You've Heard Before
Why Generic Care Falls Short
If any of these sound familiar, you've been underserved — not untreatable.
"Just relax and use more lubrication."
Vaginismus isn't about relaxation or arousal — it's an involuntary muscle response. Telling someone to 'just relax' dismisses the real neuromuscular pattern driving the pain.
"Just do Kegels — it'll get better."
When your pelvic floor is hypertonic (too tight), Kegels make it worse. A specialist knows when to strengthen and when to release — and most pelvic pain patients need the opposite of Kegels.
"We only have 20 minutes today."
Pelvic pain is complex and deeply personal. A 20-minute insurance visit with a handoff to an aide isn't enough to understand your history, build trust, or do the manual therapy that actually creates change.
