Pelvic Floor vs Incontinence

Here is an explanation of what is happening to cause incontinence.

This video shows what is happening when there is a problem with our pelvic ring and how it affects the pelvic floor muscles.

Did You Know...

An injury to the pelvis in the past can affect your pelvic floor function?

A lower back injury, stiffness and pain to the sacroiliac joint, affects the pelvic ring. This injury can occur from lifting and twisting, getting rear-ended in your car, and from a difficult and traumatic labor and delivery. Inflammation from the joints as well as reduced mobility to the sacroiliac joint can cause increased tension to one side of the pelvic floor. This tension presents as weakness and symptoms can vary from stress incontinence, back, hip, pelvic or lower abdominal pain, and even constipation. Past abdominal surgery can cause scar tissue and be a cause of lower abdominal and pelvic pain.

Your core muscles are important for pelvic health!

Any pelvic or back injury and pain will inhibit your core. Poor core function creates tension in other muscle groups like your lower back, side hip muscles, and can affect the pelvic floor muscles.

A well rounded pelvic health treatment plan includes analysis and help to get your core muscles working again!

What symptoms and signs should you look for?

Increased urgency to urinate

You feel your frequency to pee is higher than it should be. You get home and have to go to the bathroom as soon as you walk in the door. You are afraid to drink too much.

Constipation can be related to...

A problem to the pelvic ring, for example from a past injury or trauma, can cause abnormal tension to the pelvic floor. This can make it harder to have a bowel movement and causing you to strain or work harder.

Pain and tension in the back or pelvis

Do you have localized pain to any part of the pelvis, lower back or hips? Whether this pain is constant, or comes and goes, pain can negatively affect your pelvic floor.

Injury to the pelvic floor and pelvis because of a difficult labor and delivery.

A difficult labor and delivery can cause damage to your pelvic ring, injuring the sacroiliac joints and even the pubic symphysis. Pain is commonly present at our 'dimples' at our lower back and just inside this area.

Another area to check is where your pubic bones meet, the pubic symphysis. Pain to these areas tell us that there is a problem and testing is recommended to determine the cause. (Video - Patient example with Pubic Symphysis Diastases. Pelvic self tests and therapist tests)

I have tried physical therapy and my problem persists!

Here are what patients are saying about SWT.

I had stopped progressing with treatment until trying Shockwave Therapy. My first treatment series I started with my most painful shoulder. After one treatment, by the next week, my left shoulder was my better shoulder. I am sleeping better and am back to riding my mountain bike!

Matthew, tired of pain

After hitting the ground behind the ball 17 years ago and dealing with chronic Golfer's Elbow, by the 3rd treatment my pain was completely gone.

The treatments were mild to no discomfort and no worse than my usual pain.

I can play as many games as I want without pain!

Jim, no pain after 17 years!

One year ago I had a severe fall while fishing tearing my rotator cuff and needing surgery. After two bouts of therapy I was still in pain and had limited shoulder motion. After shockwave therapy I have full mobility and am back to fishing!

Thank you Cornerstone!

Mike, returned to fishing
