Pelvic Pain & Nerve Entrapment

Chronic pelvic pain caused by nerve entrapment is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated conditions in medicine. Patients often endure years of suffering before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Lakhiani specializes in the surgical treatment of pelvic nerve entrapments, offering relief when conservative measures have failed.

Pelvic nerve entrapment syndromes occur when nerves in the pelvic region become compressed or irritated as they pass through tight anatomical corridors. This compression can result from trauma, surgery, repetitive strain, or anatomical variation, leading to severe and often debilitating pain that dramatically impacts quality of life.

Dr. Lakhiani's approach begins with a thorough multidisciplinary evaluation through the Pelvic Pain Clinic. Working alongside pelvic floor physical therapists, physiatrists (PM&R physicians), and urologists, the team develops a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. When conservative measures such as physical therapy, medications, and nerve blocks have been exhausted, surgical intervention may be recommended.
