  • Title: Musculoskeletal origins of chronic pelvic pain. Diagnosis and treatment.
    Author: Baker PK.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am; 1993 Dec; 20(4):719-42. PubMed ID: 8115087.
    Abstract:
    Musculoskeletal dysfunctions often contribute to the signs and symptoms of chronic pelvic pain and in many cases may be the primary cause. The traditional team approach to chronic pelvic pain has not, however, routinely included a practitioner skilled in musculoskeletal examination and treatment. Characteristics of musculoskeletal pain are reviewed as are specific dysfunctions commonly found to produce lower abdominal and pelvic floor pain. A screening examination is presented to assist the gynecologic physician in identifying patients who may benefit from physical therapy.
