Musculoskeletal pain is pain that affects the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body, and can result in concentrated areas of pain or pain in the entire body. Causes are varied and pain is usually triggered by muscle tissue damage, resulting in body mechanic changes, spinal alignment problems and muscle shortening. Musculoskeletal pain can cause symptoms such as gluteal pain, chest pain, neck pain or back pain. Treatment can involve manual therapy or mobilisation, acupuncture, chiropractic care, or injections with anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medications.

Pelvic pain is classified as pain that is felt below the bellybutton, mild or severe, lasting for prolonged periods of time. Pelvic pain affects both men and women and can be the result of conditions affecting the groin, vulva, vagina or prostate. Conditions such as ovarian cysts, peritonitis with sepsis, pelvic abscess, endometriosis or trapped or damaged nerves in the pelvic area can leave patients with debilitating pain even after treatment of the original disease concludes. The goal of treatment is to improve the quality of life by reducing pain symptoms with different types of treatments such as physiotherapy, trigger point and or nerve injections, neurostimulation (spinal cord stimulation), and medications including antibiotics or surgery.

Dr. Mubarak can give advice regarding prophylaxis and help to treat the chronic nerve pain.
