Pelvic Floor dysfunction is a very common condition amoung adults of all genders. JUst like any muscle in the body, our pelvic floor muscles can become too tight or too tight or both, leading to pain and causing us to be more prone to injury. Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest in conditions such as incontinence/ leakage, constipation, pain with intercourse, back pain, and genital pain.
Acupuncture for the pelvic floor helps optimize the function of the muscles in the pelvic floor that are contributing to the dysfunction, thus treating the corresponding condition.
Acupuncture can be immensely helpful and effective for things like vulvadynia, vaginismus, chronic pelvic pain related to endometriosis or dysmenorrhea, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, constipation, hemorrhoids, and scar tissue from pelvic surgeries.
