266. Rethinking Pelvic Pain with Dr. Jordan Barber

Hello and welcome back to the Owning Your Sexual Self podcast! This week I’ve got Dr. Jordan Barber on the show and I’m so excited for you to hear this one. Dr. Barber is a doctor of acupuncture and oriental medicine who specializes in pain and takes a biomechanics driven approach to pelvic health. He works closely with pelvic floor physical therapists and brings a much needed focus to men’s pelvic health, an area that’s often overlooked and misunderstood. His work with dry needling and the nervous system offers a different way of understanding symptoms that people aren’t getting clear answers for, and you can feel how passionate he is about bringing more awareness to this space.

In this episode:

• Men’s pelvic health and why it’s often overlooked
• How pelvic pain impacts daily life, relationships, and self esteem
• Common symptoms like urinary issues, pain with sex, and erectile dysfunction
• What dry needling is and how it targets muscle and nerve function
• What a session feels like and how quickly people may see changes
• The role of the nervous system and stress in ongoing pelvic symptoms
• Where to start when seeking help and how to advocate for proper care
