    Description of Practice: Echenberg Institute for Pelvic and Sexual Pain

    Click here for video of Dr. Echenberg giving a webinar on his program for Chronic Pelvic, Genital, and Sexual Pain:



    My passion for integrated care in women’s health continues with the creation of this multidisciplinary regional approach to the clinical care, education, and research associated with pain in women.  For over a decade I have developed a specialized program for chronic pelvic and sexual pain.  I learned that there have been enormous advances in the science of pain transmission and processing involving genetics, gender, trauma, cumulative life experiences, nervous system and muscle “memory”, and that acute pain and inflammation are essential to our survival.  However, when enough “hurt” and trauma turn into chronic pain syndromes, many layers of the “onion” need to be peeled away.  Doing that cannot be accomplished by any single approach or practitioner.  We hope that our Institute will contribute to “connecting the dots” for individuals and the community at large.

    Important Announcement:

    In March, 2021, Dr. Echenberg will be seeing patients at a new location.   For all current and new patients, the phone, fax and email will remain the same.

    2020 Bio on Robert J. Echenberg, MD, FACOG
    Dr. Robert Echenberg did his undergraduate work at Brown University, medical training at Jefferson Medical College, and his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan Medical Center. He began private practice in Bethlehem, PA in the early 1970’s. Soon after board certification he began realizing that much of what he needed to know concerning women’s health had not been taught in those otherwise excellent programs.
    Aside from his comprehensive Ob/Gyn routine medical and surgical care of women, the first 35 years of his career in large part was devoted to advocating for women and their families by working at local, regional and national levels to advance the science and art of patient centered care for all aspects of pregnancy and birthing choices, counseling and aiding couples with sexual intimacy issues, establishing programs to support families through pregnancy loss and developing support for decision making regarding seriously ill newborns.
    His interest in chronic pain began in 2001 while developing a hospital based program designed to create a non-surgical approach to the treatment of chronic pelvic pain. He soon joined the International Association for the Study of Pain, started reading scientific journals on pain itself, attended numerous pain related conferences and seminars and became actively involved in the International Pelvic Pain Society, serving for a year on its Board as well (www.pelvicpain.org).
    Dr. Echenberg’s passion for patient advocacy and integrative care in women’s health continued with his creation in 2006 of one of the first privately owned medical practices specializing in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic, genital and sexual pain disorders. Through his website www.TheEchenbergInstitute.com both women and men continue to reach out to him from around the world. They are all suffering from conditions related to persistent pain in the pelvic region. His expertise in developing a model of care based on the most recent evidence based protocols applying neuroscience in a bio-psychosocial non-surgical approach has lead to successful outcomes for over 1500 patients from 34 states and 12 foreign countries.
    Over the past decade Dr. Echenberg has spoken nationally and internationally on all aspects of chronic pelvic pain and has co-authored a book, “Secret Suffering: How Women’s Sexual and Pelvic Pain Affects their Relationships”. More recently he has written the forward for the book: “The Proactive Patient: Managing IC/BPS and Related Conditions”. He has given numerous interviews on television, radio, webinars, and social media, and has been involved and responsible for such diverse activities as helping a high school student present a day seminar on Interstitial Cystitis at a regional medical school as well as serving on the Medical Advisory Board of the Interstitial Cystitis Association (www.ichelp.org). He has also been a member of the National Vulvodynia Association (www.nva.org) for a number of years.
    His efforts have lead as well to the establishment of the “Alliance for Pelvic Pain”, a group of 5 diverse professionals who created and successfully held national patient weekend retreats in Pennsylvania in 2013 and in New York City in 2014 (www.allianceforpelvicpain.com) . He has helped establish the first international non-profit organization to help raise awareness and education for all aspects of chronic pelvic pain (www.bridgeforpelvicpain.org). Most recently he has played an integral part in writing, producing, and appearing in a ground breaking DVD called “Healing the Pain down There” (www.paindownthere.com).
    Echenberg strongly believes that institutional changes in medical education and awareness among younger people about these disorders will eventually allow for much earlier diagnosis and prevention of end-stage pain and suffering.
