Are you treating patients with chronic pelvic pain who aren’t responding to conventional treatments? Maybe you are working with a client who has a prolapse, but no matter what you do, nothing is helping. You’ve tried everything and the underlying cause has you stumped.

You’re not alone. The diagnosis of what is now known as Pelvic Venous Disorders (PeVD) is missed every day. We aren’t taught about it in school or in our continuing education. The concepts that are taught center around outdated research and misleading terms like “Pelvic Congestion Syndrome” that can negatively impact diagnostic imaging selection, treatment, and overall patient outcomes.

Up to 30% of people with chronic pelvic pain have PeVD, yet the average time to diagnosis can take years simply because providers just don’t know any better. One of the biggest risk factors for the development of PeVD is pregnancy. Who better to screen for and identify this often-overlooked condition than you — a pelvic PT/OT?
