A unique, comprehensive, non-surgical, multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment program for chronic pelvic, genital, and sexual pain.

Since 2001, Dr. Robert Echenberg has carefully developed one of the only comprehensive clinical programs in the nation that has incorporated the newest pain research while caring for over 2300 women and men with a variety of painful disorders related to the pelvic region. Many of Dr. Echenberg's patients have previously undergone multiple invasive diagnostic or surgical procedures for their pain and have already been seen by multiple medical and surgical specialists.

Starting with our program's first visit, it becomes immediately apparent that our approach to your symptoms and health is comprehensive, caring, and completely individualized. We want to help you achieve the goal of "getting your life back" as quickly and as realistically as possible.

This direct conversation with Dr. Echenberg will provide educational information about your unresolved symptoms. Dr. E reviews your entire questionnaire before the call.  His biopsychosocial approach utilizes his knowledge of chronic pain neuroscience and answers many of the questions you probably have about why it has been so difficult to "connect the dots" regarding your own pelvic, genital, and sexual pain symptoms. - often for the first time. He shares his many decades of experience and provides a wealth of resources so that you can learn how to put together your own health team back home - or whether it might be a good plan to visit one of the practitioners trained by Dr. Echenberg.

Dr. E feels confident that you will receive excellent care from any of these providers, and he will remain closely involved for advice and counsel. Each practitioner learned our model of care and is passionate about delivering specialized pain management for the pelvic region. His time spent with you and his comprehensive reports and recommendations will be available to whomever you choose to see, including PTs and counselors, and to you as well - to share with trusted family and/or other supportive people in your life.

We will provide complete information about which provider is best for you, depending on your location and specific health insurance.

He intends to "pass forward" as much of his knowledge and experience as possible since there are still no training programs for these complex pelvic pain disorders.
