Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain

Acupuncture and Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome

Can acupuncture reduce the symptoms of chronic prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain syndrome is long-term pelvic pain and lower urinary tract symptoms without evidence of a bacterial infection, and its cause is uncertain.

The National Institutes of Health and other sources estimate that 2-10% of men experience symptoms compatible with chronic prostatitis at some point in their lives.

A review of 3 studies (204 total participants) suggested that acupuncture may reduce prostatitis symptoms, compared with a sham procedure.

Healthcare continues to evolve toward less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, with acupuncture now becoming a first-line complementary healthcare choice.

Remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.

There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
