The only experience I have had in this area is with women and pelvic pain with intercourse. I do try to help them decrease the pain with intercourse with education. I teach them relaxation techniques, massage, to use lubrication, issue vaginal dilators,etc. Sometimes I might try ultrasound and I also show them how to use heat or ice in the home. What I teach depends on what is causing the pain. I work in a VA hospital so reimbursement is not an issue. I had extra training in this area when I became involved in treating urinary incontinence.
With the male SCI patients, they are seen by someone who specializes in this area and they often need to take a shot to help with the process. I do not intervene for them. For people with back pain, we have always just educated in positions that decrease back pain. *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
