Prostadynia/ CPPS

Acupuncture for Prostadynia/ CPPS

Non-Bacterial Prostatitis, also called Prostadynia or CPPS is a treatable, chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men.

I have been treating this condition for the last 17 years with acupuncture and herbal medicine.

How does it start?

It’s cause is unknown. However, In clinic, I notice a few common threads in my patients;

Firstly, the original onset of pain is almost always preceded by a stressful event.
Underlying this is a burnt-out and deficient body that holds the pain condition for months to years.

I have found at least 8 treatments is necessary to feel the effects and pain relief of acupuncture. (Some men notice 30-40% reduction after 2 sessions, some on the 5th).
The process is very safe and hygienic, and there is no pain from the ultra fine needles.
I can guarantee, No needles are inserted anywhere near the effected area.
I have treated at least 40 men with urination issues and prostate swelling and pain over the last 17 years.
