For referring Urology

Three kinds of patients you cannot discharge and cannot fix.

Every urology clinic carries them. Cultures keep coming back negative, the drugs stop working, and surgery was never indicated. None of these patients competes with what you do.

The man who fails antibiotics

CP/CPPS, NIH category III. Three months or more of perineal pain, negative cultures, an unmoved NIH-CPSI.

The woman with no finding

Chronic pelvic pain, vulvodynia, myofascial pain. Imaging clear, no infection, referred in circles.

The pelvic floor that will not settle

Post-surgical or long-standing hypertonicity where physical therapy alone has plateaued.

01

Chronic prostatitis / CP-CPPS

Beat placebo in a double-blind trial.

Focused Shockwave Therapy to the perineum, with EMTT and Laser Therapy where indicated. Outpatient, no anesthetic, no sedation, no recovery time. A course runs six to eight sessions.

  • No opioids and no surgery at any point in the pathway.
  • NIH-CPSI recorded at baseline and at discharge, sent to you.
  • Two further meta-analyses support the effect (refs. 2 and 3).

Against placebo

NIH-CPSI points improved, four weeks post-treatment. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, p = 0.0225 (ref. 1).
02

Beyond prostatitis

Everything else you can send down the same pathway.

Same modalities, same clinic, same reporting back to you. Each is a group urology sees and rarely has a non-surgical answer for.

Chronic pelvic pain in womenVulvodynia and myofascial pelvic pain where imaging is clear and infection is excluded.
No overlap
Hypertonic pelvic floorThe tight, overactive floor that worsens with strengthening, where standard physical therapy has stalled.
No overlap
Sciatica and nerve painFor the comorbid patients whose back and leg pain you are not the right person to carry.
Shared care
Knee, hip, shoulder and joint painArthritis and sports injury in the same patients, treated without opioids or surgery.
