Pelvic Pain
Regenerative approaches to chronic pelvic pain.
Beyond pain management – addressing the root of pelvic pain
Chronic pelvic pain is one of the most complex and undertreated conditions in medicine — affecting millions of people and deeply impacting daily life, relationships, and overall wellbeing. At Origins Integrative Health, we take a different approach. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we look for the underlying nervous system disruptions that are often at the root of pelvic pain that hasn't responded to conventional treatment.
Why Pelvic Pain Persists
Pelvic pain rarely has a single cause. It typically develops from a combination of factors — past surgeries, infections, hormonal changes, or trauma — that together dysregulate the nervous system and create a cycle of persistent pain. Scar tissue from procedures like C-sections, hysterectomies, or laparoscopies can continue to interfere with normal nerve signaling long after the body appears healed, as can conditions like endometriosis or chronic pelvic infections.
What is neural therapy?
Neural Therapy uses precise injections of procaine — a short-acting local anesthetic — to reset disrupted signals in the autonomic nervous system and eliminate interference fields that perpetuate chronic pain. Procaine works by temporarily blocking abnormal electrical activity in dysfunctional tissue — restoring normal autonomic signaling, improving local circulation, reducing neurogenic inflammation, and creating the conditions for genuine tissue healing.
Neural therapy was developed in Europe in the early twentieth century and has been practiced extensively in Germany, Switzerland, and throughout Latin America for decades — accumulating a substantial body of clinical experience and a growing evidence base supporting its use for chronic pain conditions, including pelvic pain.
How Neural Therapy
Helps Pelvic Pain
Using small, precise injections of procaine — a mild local anesthetic — we reset disrupted nerve signals and clear the interference patterns that keep the body stuck in a pain cycle. This restores normal signaling, improves circulation to affected tissues, and creates the conditions for genuine, lasting healing.

“I first tried acupuncture after many unsuccessful attempts to find relief from chronic pain resulting from a lifetime of athletics and manual labor. Over the years I’ve had many acupuncturists provide respite, but none have provided the same level of pain relief as Casey. His knowledge and expertise are unparalleled and I find he has a way of connecting with my body I’ve not felt elsewhere. Casey has not only provided relief from old injuries and chronic overuse but also uses his skill set to provide instruction, treatment, and a game plan for my continued work exertion and intense athletic training regimens. He has successfully brought my body back to a level of peak performance. In addition, his personality and bedside manner create the most well-rounded healthcare experience.”

“Dr. Kinzie has been an incredible help over the past year as I finished cancer treatment and managed the resulting side effects. She listens intently, asks thoughtful questions, and is very encouraging. While oncology was life-saving, there were many issues they simply could not tackle; Dr. Kinzie took the time to develop detailed, varied treatment plans that truly helped me feel human again. I highly recommend her, especially for those with unique health challenges.”

“I started working with Dr. Krebsbach several years ago after hitting a wall with my current Naturopath. I was having a wide array of health concerns but was struggling to get any answers as to why. After only a few months of working with Dr. Krebsbach we were able to get some pretty major diagnosis and then continued working together to treat the symptoms. Now a few years later I've made a ton of progress and am feeling more like myself than I have in years! Heather is very knowledgeable and was willing to order a wide array of tests to help find my root causes. She's very warm and kind and I've enjoyed working with her. I'm immensely grateful to Heather and her team!”

“I have nothing but praise and appreciation for Dr. Heather — she is an amazing naturopath. From the first visit, she demonstrated her interest in learning more about me, my health history and my family's medical history. I have never had a doctor take the time that she does to drill down and understand what is influencing my health status today. I appreciate that she takes a wholistic approach and is always looking for prevention and causes rather than just treating the symptoms.Traditional doctors have suggested treatments that do not work, and when I go to Dr. Heather, her treatment addresses my concerns right away. I have recommended to my friends and family that they go to Dr. Heather as well -- and many of us now do! I am grateful to have Dr. Heather on my team.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Laura Clevenger. From the moment you walk into the room, she makes you feel completely comfortable. She is always smiling, incredibly sweet, and somehow manages to make every visit feel reassuring (and she even laughs at my jokes, which is the most important part). Dr. Clevenger is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to truly listen. She explains things clearly, answers every question thoughtfully, and never makes you feel rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and loves what she does. It is rare to find a doctor who is not only this skilled but also this warm, personable, and genuinely kind. I feel very grateful to have her as my doctor and would recommend her to anyone.”

In addition to fertility, she's helped me with diet, sleep, fatigue and preparing for postpartum! She's comprehensive, listens deeply, and really helps you get to the root of any health concerns in a holistic way. Go see her!”

“Dr. Carly has been such an integral care provider for me, addressing longstanding health issues I assumed I would just need to live with. She is persistent and creative when looking for solutions while still being patient-centered, keeping my needs in mind and staying flexible. Her approach is positive and affirming and she has a great sense of humor, which particularly helps when dealing with chronic conditions.

“I can’t recommend Dr. Carly enough. Getting an appointment was quick and seamless, which was a huge relief. For the first time in a long time, I felt like a doctor actually listened to my concerns instead of rushing me out the door. I had been struggling with inflammation, weight retention, and hormonal concerns that I couldn't quite pin down, but Dr. Carly didn't dismiss my intuition. We started with thorough baseline testing and now check in every couple of months to adjust my care. She always starts our sessions by asking how I’m feeling, which makes me feel truly supported in my health journey. Now I’m down nearly 20 lbs and the supplements she has me taking are working with my body and not against it.”
