PRM was founded on the belief that there had to be a better way to treat pelvic pain. PRM was founded by expert doctors and a pelvic pain patient who demanded a better way just the way our patients do. At PRM, we are trying to change something in healthcare that has been the same since the dawn of time – and we won’t stop until pelvic pain patients everywhere have access to care that is more effective, more comfortable, and safer than anything else. Our leadership team won’t stop until everyone has access to The PRM Protocol™.
Our dedication to our patients, and to advancing the field of medicine that treats pelvic pain does not stop in the clinical offices. PRM has started our own Clinical Advisory Board, made up of national leaders, to help publish, discuss, and move the field of pelvic pain forward – all over the country and in multiple specialties. Our team believes in PRM, in our mission, and progressing our field.
We don’t believe “a glass of wine will fix it” or that “it’s all in your head”.
We will never abandon you.
