Do you have any combination of these symptoms and can't find help?
The Pelvic region consists of all aspects of the male and female body between the umbilicus (belly button) and the mid thigh. Chronic Pelvic Pain is a complex of painful pelvic symptoms including, but not limited to:
1) spontaneous and unwanted sexual arousal in genital area, (spectrum of hyperarousal disorders - PGAD/RGS)
2) urinary frequency and urgency associated with pain, (Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis)
3) irritable bowel issues,
4) lower abdominal bloating and pressure,
5) vaginal itching, burning, and sensitivity,
6) vulvar pain, burning, or itching,
7) sexual pain (entrance, during, and/or after in females, and erectile and ejaculatory in males),
8) lower back, sacral, hip and/or lower abdominal pains. Unexplained sitting pain or buttock pain.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, then there is a good chance that we can help you.

Founder, The Echenberg Institute for Pelvic & Sexual Pain
Unique model of care
Our program for pelvic, genital and sexual pain has now seen patients (both women and men) from at least 38 different states and from 18 countries outside the United States. About 2000 women and men have benefited from Dr. Echenberg's knowledge, diagnostic skills, and unique combinations of non-surgical therapeutic techniques for the past 20 years. There is no one elsewhere who spends the amount of time during each of your visits (either online or in person), to provide meaningful education and help you "connect the dots" concerning your particular complex of symptoms. So many of you have had multiple surgeries, multiple invasive diagnostic studies, and have been to see so many different specialists and yet you still have no clear answers as to why you have not been helped.
Dr. Echenberg's combination of using the most current neuroscience on chronic pain processing, a very personalized bio-psychosocial model approach, and his more than 40 years of medical experience working in the pelvic region all explain the "difference" experienced by patients in our program compared to any others elsewhere in the world.
Many of our new patients had already given up hope of finding any significant relief from their symptoms. But, they soon realize there is a way out of pain and suffering through a combination of integrative care, compassion, state of the art knowledge of pain itself, and a dedicated staff to help restore hope and purpose in your life.
We receive many requests from all over the US and the world. And, we find it discouraging that there are still so many women and men with chronic and persistent abdominal/deep pelvic and genital pain (clitoral, vulvar, penile, vaginal, etc.), PGAD/RGS (the spectrum of genital hyper-arousal disorders), painful sexual intimacy, as well as pain issues related to the pelvic floor and core musculature, pelvic peripheral nerves, bladder, lower bowel, lower abdomen, low back, buttocks, tailbone, groin and hip. We have developed an effective model of care that has been evolving in our program since 2001.
We offer a range of services that include in-office visits and Telemedicine consultations on a HIPAA Compliant Platform. Since the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, all new patient visits are on scheduled video calls. These calls can be made in the comfort of your home and accompanied by any close support person if you so choose.
