Pelvic Floor Therapy

Understanding Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that span the base of the pelvis, providing essential support for the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles work in coordination with the deep abdominal muscles, diaphragm, and spinal stabilizers to regulate intra-abdominal pressure and maintain postural control, continence, and core function.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when there is an imbalance—such as muscle tightness, weakness, or poor coordination—within this system. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms that affect daily comfort, movement, and quality of life. While pelvic floor dysfunction is commonly discussed in relation to women’s health, it affects individuals of all genders and often goes undiagnosed or misunderstood.

Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction include:

Muscle tightness or spasms in the pelvic or lower abdominal region
Discomfort during or after intimacy
Pain with ejaculation or post-ejaculatory discomfort
Testicular, groin, or generalized pelvic pain
Persistent sensitivity or dysfunction in the lower core region

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our clinic offers evidence-informed treatments that address the pelvic floor and core as a unified system—guided by clinical precision and tailored to your needs.

Pelvic floor dry needling is a specialized technique used to address deep muscular dysfunction in the pelvic region. These muscles are often involved in conditions such as chronic pelvic pain, urinary urgency or frequency, painful intercourse, or post-surgical tension—and are difficult to reach through external therapy alone.

Our pelvic floor treatments are trauma-informed, respectful, and always guided by anatomical expertise, patient safety, and individual readiness. This internal approach can provide powerful relief by releasing restricted or overactive muscles and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. For many, pelvic floor dry needling becomes a key component in restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life.

I can’t share enough wonderful things about the people who work at this clinic as well as Dr. Claudia. I am an Air Force veteran who suffers from a lot of back pain and not only has she helped me manage that and find that Acupuncture has helped me tremendously, but also help with many other things as far as my overall health regarding taking care of myself. Dr. Claudia and her team care about you like family and I would drive anywhere to get seen by them.

I cannot thank Dr. Sandoval enough for the incredible care and expertise she has provided. Before seeing her, I had no relief for pain. I struggled with severe neck stiffness, spine and back pain, making everyday tasks daunting. Her thorough evaluations allow her to diagnose every inch of pain, making her treatment truly effective. Thanks to her treatment, I’ve regained mobility and energy. Several months in, I’m on the road to recovery and feeling better than ever. Dr. Sandoval is truly amazing!

What to Expect During a Pelvic Floor Session

Your comfort, safety, and autonomy are our highest priorities. Whether this is your first time seeking care for pelvic floor dysfunction or you’ve tried other therapies in the past, we take the time to listen, educate, and tailor your treatment to meet your individual needs and goals.

At your initial visit, we’ll begin with a comprehensive health history and conversation about your symptoms, concerns, and any past experiences. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and decide what feels appropriate for your body—nothing is ever rushed or assumed.

All treatments are performed externally. Your care may include:

Trigger point dry needling to address pelvic, abdominal, or surrounding musculature
Needling techniques that help reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and support muscular coordination
Myofascial release techniques and external tissue assessment
Breathwork and pelvic floor retraining guidance

We do not perform internal needling or manual therapy. Our approach is entirely external, trauma-informed, and consent-driven—always grounded in anatomical precision and clinical integrity.
