Acupuncture for an Overactive Bladder and Urine Incontinence Case Studies

Acupuncture can help treat conditions like an overactive bladder, including but not limited to, urinary incontinence in more technical words – but in layman’s words, any issue relating to bladder, be it not urinating properly, retaining urine, or urinating only a little at a time, or even leaking urine with minimal bladder control.

The cause for any kind of bladder control issue can vary – it can be due to a variety of reasons, in women, commonly, stress, childbirth and even menopause – and in men, can be reasons from insulin related, to even prostate problems – all of which can be treated at our clinic at BAL.
