Pelvic Floor Injury Care After a Car Crash
Care for pelvic pain, tailbone pain, and bladder or core changes that start after an accident.
OVERVIEW
The injury most people do not think to mention
In a crash, the lap belt and the force of the impact load the hips, pelvis, and tailbone. The muscles of the pelvic floor can be strained or thrown out of balance, and symptoms often show up days or weeks later.
Many patients feel uncomfortable bringing it up, or do not connect it to the accident at all. We ask about it directly, check how your pelvis, hips, and low back are working together, and build a plan to help you recover.
Signs to watch for
- Pelvic, groin, or hip pain since the accident
- Tailbone pain when sitting
- Leaking when you cough, sneeze, or lift
- New urgency or trouble with the bladder or bowels
- Pain with intimacy or a weak, unstable core

No. Everyone has a pelvic floor, and men can have pelvic pain and related symptoms after a crash too.
