Minnesota Women’s Care | Award-Winning OBGYN & Urogynecology
Dr. Melvin Ashford and Minnesota Women’s Care
As an OBGYN and Urogynecologist specializing in pelvic floor disorders, Dr. Ashford has helped many women overcome painful and life-altering pelvic floor conditions. Going far beyond annual exams and delivering babies, the practice he developed – Minnesota Women’s Care – is dedicated to providing solutions to women who want to live full lives, free from discomfort and pain. This innovative 221st-centurywomen’s health practice has redefined what a visit to the OBGYN is all about.
During Dr. Ashford’s work to solve women’s pelvic floor issues, he noted how much more effective non-surgical approaches are IF the treatment had a structured combination of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, Exercise Therapy, and Chiropractic Care. From this, the concept for WomanWoRX began. The therapies and fitness classes are designed for all women: those with a pelvic floor condition that will respond well to a non-surgical approach, those who want to strengthen their pelvic floor to prevent future problems, and those who want to keep their pelvic floor strong. Since overall fitness is a critical component of women’s health, the goal of WomanWoRX is to heal the pelvic floor and then offer safe and impactful fitness offerings to build total body strength and endurance without compromising the healing work of therapy interventions.
Additional Treatment Options
Minnesota Women’s Care and The Urogynecology Center, under Dr. Ashford’s leadership, offers a wide range of treatment options for different pelvic floor conditions. When surgery is necessary, we believe in providing the most advanced, minimally invasive surgical care – the kind of surgery that often promotes faster healing with less pain. We want to help you get back to the life you love as fast as possible. Additional information is available on our website:
