Pudendal Neuralgia: A Missing Piece

Pudendal neuralgia is one of the most intimidating diagnoses we treat.It’s complex, frustrating, and often misunderstood—even among pelvic health providers.In this Missing Piece episode from the Rising Vault, we’re breaking down a key factor that’s often overlooked in pudendal neuralgia treatment:💡 The posterior cutaneous femoral nerve.It’s easy to hyperfocus on the pudendal nerve itself, but the reality is: 👉 It’s almost impossible for pudendal neuralgia to only involve the pudendal nerve. 👉 This is why nerve blocks often fail to relieve all symptoms. 👉 This is why symptoms frequently extend beyond the pudendal nerve’s pathway.If we don’t consider the posterior cutaneous femoral nerve, we may be missing a major driver of symptoms—and limiting our ability to help these complex patients.Tune in to hear why broadening your focus beyond the pudendal nerve is key to successful pudendal neuralgia treatment!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy (www.pelvicsanity.com) together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Through Pelvic PT Rising, Nicole has created clinical courses (www.pelvicptrising.com/clinical) to help pelvic health providers gain confidence in their skills and provide frameworks to get better patient outcomes.  Together, Jesse and Nicole have helped 600+ pelvic practices start and grow through the Pelvic PT Rising Business Programs (www.pelvicptrising.com/business) to build a practice that works for them! Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
