Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is common but often misunderstood. If you're experiencing lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort in Perth, our team at Perth Pelvic Pain can help uncover the cause and provide expert, personalised treatment.
Why Seeing a Pain Specialist Matters
You’ve tried everything you were told to try:
- GP visits
- Medications
- Maybe even surgery or physiotherapy
And yet, the pelvic pain is still here. It shows up when you’re working, moving, resting – even when you’re sleeping.
That’s when you realise: you don’t just need another prescription. You need someone who can see the whole pain system and knows how to change it.
That’s what a Pain Specialist does.
This page is for people who:
- Live with pelvic pain – months or even years after it started.
- Feel like they’ve been managing without real answers
- Need a team who won’t dismiss them with ‘there’s nothing more we can do’
If that’s you, welcome. You’re in the right place.
Why Pelvic Pain Persists
Chronic pelvic pain isn’t always about anatomy you can see on a scan. It remains an invisible disease as current medical technology doesn’t allow for pain pathways to be imaged. If we could scan pain, this is what it would look like
- Dysfunctional nerve hypersensitivity – pain signals firing, even after tissues heal
- Muscle spasm: tight pelvic floor muscles feeding the pain cycle
- Central sensitisation – development of abnormal pain pathways in the central nervous system
- Emotional load – because pain affects sleep, mood and relationships.
It’s also why pain can remain even after surgeries, medications or hormone treatments.
What a Pain Specialist Offers
We connect the dots. We use targeted procedures, medications and rehabilitation plans to treat pain at multiple levels.
- Diagnostic clarity: Is it nerve pain, muscle spasm, central sensitisation or all three?
- Image guided procedures: like nerve blocks, rhizotomy or Botox injections. These are all done under anaesthesia, in hospital with image guidance by an experienced pain specialist.
- Advanced options: including ketamine and lignocaine infusion therapy for central pain amplification
- Medicaton optimisation: shifting from short term-fixes to long term strategies
- Multidisciplinary care: working with a team of physiotherapists, clinical psychologists, gyanecologists, and other pelvic health specialists.
Our goal: not just less pain. More life.
