Multimodal therapy

A basic concept related to the management of chronic pelvic pain is that most patients experience multiple sources of pain - pain generators.  It is rare that all sources of pain can be treated with a single therapeutic option.  Just like treating most of the medical problems a person might have, treating pelvic pain requires identifying and successfully treating each pain generator.  Also identifying the trigger to each of the pain generators is equally as important.  Because of this, multiple therapeutic options are typically used at the same time to attempt to turn down the volume of pain.
