Acupuncture is very effective at helping to reduce pelvic pain and the associated symptoms through reducing pain and inflammation, as well as releasing trigger points and taught fascia which cause referred pain.
I have extensive experience helping people with pelvic pain through acupuncture and have published a number of articles on the topic.
The research shows that acupuncture is better than standard pain management and anti-inflammatory medication for pelvic pain.
What is Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome?
Pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) is a chronic condition that causes much suffering. Those with pelvic pain can experience painful, frequent, urgent, or difficult urination, genital pain, lower back pain, sexual dysfunction, and commonly digestive problems.
In most cases, those with pelvic pain do not have an infection. Although these symptoms can be similar to having an infection, it is always good to rule out infection first. Pelvic pain is most often caused by muscle spasms and tension of the muscles in the pelvic floor, lower back, and legs.
It is important to recognize that stress and muscle pain are linked. A cycle develops where pain causes stress and then the stress further causes pain.
An effective treatment should address both the mind and body in stopping pain, relaxing muscles, reducing inflammation and breaking the pain/stress cycle.
Acupuncture Holistic Healing
Acupuncture provide a holistic approach to healing. This is an effective treatment to relieve the pain, improve sexual function, and decrease urinary problems, as well as relief depression associated with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome. It can also address other issues that may arise from pelvic pain such as digestive problems and insomnia.
Acupuncture diagnosis and treatment focuses on identifying the specific root imbalance causing the condition and tailoring the treatment for you. The treatment most commonly includes acupuncture points on the lower back, gluts, abdomen, and legs. Specific acupuncture points on the ear can target pain in the pelvic region. Electroacupuncture is often used to rapidly help reduce pain and inflammation.
Acupuncture can be incorporated with other manual and holistic therapies such as physical therapy, massage, and mindfulness techniques.
Acupuncture Therapies
Acupuncture may include many therapies such as electroacupuncture, tui na (acupressure), cupping, and gua sha (massage with a tool, this is very helpful for inhibited urination).
Chinese herbal medicine are also effective for reduction of muscle pain and inflammation as well as improving urinary flow.
Mindfulness techniques and exercises should be used to prevent a recurrence of the symptoms.
