Statistics published in 2023 by the National Institutes of Health show that nearly one out of every seven women in the United States is affected by chronic pelvic pain. If you are one of the millions of women living with this condition, finding effective treatment can essentially change your life. Although seeking professional treatment from our team at Freedom Spine & Pain Center is the ultimate solution for tackling this pain condition, there are several things that you can do in the meantime to find some relief.

Top Ways to Effectively Ease Pelvic Pain

Stay Active

Although it may seem difficult to think about, implementing exercise into your schedule can help increase blood flow. It can also cause the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers. Exercising, like speed walking, for as little as 30 minutes a day, for five days a week, can make a significant difference in the amount of pain you experience.

Take Over-The-Counter Pain Medication

Acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen, and other over-the-counter pain medications can help to reduce discomfort and inflammation, potentially alleviating some of the symptoms that you are experiencing.

Use Heat To Relieve Flare-up Pain

Like exercising, applying heat to the body also helps to increase blood flow. This can help to reduce pelvic pain, especially if you are experiencing flare-ups. Sitting in a hot tub full of warm water, using a heating pad, or even sitting in a sauna can help to provide some relief.

Even though these changes can provide temporary relief, it is always best to reach out to our team at Freedom Spine & Pain Center to explore effective treatment options.
