Don’t let embarrassment prevent you from seeking treatment for incontinence
or pelvic pain. Clarion Rehabilitation Services offers effective treatments
for persons suffering from pelvic floor conditions with discretion for
your utmost privacy.
Incontinence is the involuntary loss of bowel or bladder function at an inappropriate
time. It is a common disorder experienced by men and women which is usually
the symptom of an underlying condition. Often those dealing with incontinence
manage their symptoms alone with the belief that little can be done to
correct their problem. There are three main types of incontinence including
stress (caused by pressure downward on the pelvic floor from coughing,
sneezing, laughing, running, etc), urge (leaking is caused by a strong
sudden urge that the pelvic floor is not able to compensate for) and fecal
where the pelvic floor is not strong enough to overcome leakage of gas,
liquid or solid stool.
Pelvic Pain is a debilitating symptom that may result from pregnancy and delivery,
pelvic surgery, trauma, or inflammatory diseases such as vulvodynia, interstitial
cystitis or prostatitis. There are manual treatments available to reduce
muscle spasms, trigger points and scar tissue that cause pelvic pain.
These treatments can help you to regain normal function.
