Women, Men & Pediatrics
You Know Something Is Wrong.
We Know How to Fix It!
DC Core and Pelvic Therapy is a specialized pelvic health practice in Whitestone, NY built for people who are done managing their symptoms and ready to actually solve them. Whether you are living with pelvic pain, urinary leaking, or helping your child through bedwetting and bowel struggles, we have seen your exact situation before. And we know the way through it.
Does This Sound Familiar?
You have learned to plan your day around your bladder. You know exactly where every bathroom is before you leave the house. You have stopped doing the things you love because you cannot trust your body the way you used to.
Or maybe it is pain. The kind that your doctor has dismissed, that tests have not explained, that you have started to wonder if you are just supposed to live with forever.
Or maybe it is your child. The accidents, the frustration, the nights you both wake up exhausted. You have followed every recommendation and nothing has made a lasting difference.
You are not imagining it.
You are not being dramatic. And you are absolutely not supposed to just live with it.
What you are experiencing has a name. It has a cause. And it has a solution. You just have not found the right specialist yet.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common and most undertreated conditions in modern healthcare. Millions of women, men, and children live with pain, leaking, and dysfunction every single day not because there is no solution but because they were never pointed toward the right one.
Pelvic floor therapy done by a true specialist gets to the root of why your body is doing what it is doing instead of chasing symptoms. It treats the whole picture. The muscles, the nerves, the movement patterns, the nervous system, and the way your daily life is contributing to what you are feeling.
That is what we do at DC Core and Pelvic Therapy. Not symptom management. Not temporary relief. Actual solutions for people who are ready to stop living around their problem and start living past it.
We've Seen Your Situation Before
Your Child Deserves to Feel Normal!
Bedwetting, chronic constipation, soiling accidents, bladder urgency. These are not behavioral problems. They are physical ones with real solutions. Our pediatric specialists work gently and patiently to help your child find relief and get their confidence back.
Why Patients Come to Us After Everything Else Has Fallen Short
Dawn Chimento did not set out to build a practice. She set out to solve a problem she kept watching go unsolved.
In her years of working across physical therapy settings, she kept seeing the same pattern. Patients who had been dismissed by their doctors, undertreated by general practitioners, or cycled through standard PT without getting to the real root of what was happening. Women told that pain and leaking were just part of being a woman. Men handed management strategies instead of solutions. Parents whose pediatricians had run out of ideas.
What they all needed was a specialist who understood that pelvic health does not exist in isolation. That the pelvic floor is connected to the nervous system, to breathing mechanics, to movement patterns, to stress, and to the full picture of how a body functions. Treating it properly requires time, expertise, and complete undivided attention.
That understanding is what DC Core and Pelvic Therapy was built on. When you come here you are not getting a generalist who also does pelvic health. You are getting a specialist whose entire practice exists to solve exactly the problem you are living with.
