At Orthopaedic & Neurosurgery Specialists (ONS), we offer pelvic floor therapy to help patients manage and improve their pelvic and lower back pain. Pain is a common ailment for so many Americans—causing them to miss work and activities they love. What many patients may think is just lower back pain is often pelvic floor dysfunction.
What is the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor serves as a vital “hammock” of muscles, providing essential support for the organs in your pelvis and playing a key role in upholding your core strength and body alignment. When these muscles do not work optimally, it may contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. Fortunately, this is common, and their symptoms are treatable.

- Abdominal, back, hip, or pelvic pain
