We have four convenient locations in New York. Contact us for a complimentary consultation to discuss how we can address your specific needs.
Pelvic Floor Pain & Issues
Pelvic floor muscles are similar to regular muscles—they can cause pain and discomfort. However, the pain often presents a bit differently and can be experienced as vaginal, rectal, clitoral, testicular, or penile pain. We treat all of these symptoms with the goal of restoring patients back to their pain-free levels.
TMJ – TMD Pain & Issues
Temporomandibular Joint disorders of the jaw can cause pain in the jaw, face, neck, shoulder, head, and teeth.
