Based on the gold-standard nondrug, nonsurgical Wise-Anderson
Protocol for treating chronic pelvic pain, A Headache in the Pelvis is
the definitive resource for anyone suffering from pelvic pain.
Pelvic pain afflicts millions of men and women and goes by many names,
including pelvic floor dysfunction and prostatitis. David Wise, Ph.D.,
searched for relief for his pelvic pain for more than 20 years. After
researching medical journals and performing outside-the-box
self-experimentation, he found a way to resolve his symptoms. He then
joined forces with Stanford urologist Dr. Rodney Anderson in the
mid-1990s, and together they treated patients and did research on what
is now called the Wise-Anderson Protocol.
Often incorrectly diagnosed, debilitating, and disruptive, pelvic pain
is correlated with psychological distress. Using a holistic treatment
integrating physical therapy and meditative relaxation, this book guides
you through understanding your pain, why conventional treatments haven't
worked, and describes the details of the physical and behavioral
protocol that can help to heal the painful pelvic floor. At last, this
life-changing protocol offers hope and help to lead a pain-free life.
