Persistent pelvic pain can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts a woman's quality of life. At Biio, we offer specialised care for women suffering from chronic pelvic pain, utilising an integrated approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of pain management.

Our pain specialists apply an integrated approach to pain management, utilising a mix of medical, behavioural, and physical therapies tailored to the individual needs of each patient. This comprehensive strategy aims not only to alleviate pain but also to improve function and enhance the overall quality of life for women living with persistent pelvic pain.

Our Integrated Approach

Our pelvic pain management program may include:

  • Medications
  • Nerve blocks
  • Physical therapy
  • Psychological support
  • Advanced interventions (e.g., neurotomy procedures, medicated infusions)
  • Lifestyle modifications
  • Mindfulness and relaxation techniques
  • Patient education and self-management strategies

This multifaceted approach can be particularly beneficial for women suffering from conditions such as endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, vulvodynia, and pelvic congestion syndrome. It is also helpful for those with pain resulting from surgeries, injuries, or other long-term health issues that have not responded to standard treatments.
