How acupuncture treats Overactive Bladder
After a detailed diagnosis, we work to treat the condition with changes to lifestyle as well as the treatment protocol during treatment sessions.
What to expect in a session
First appointments last 30–45 minutes and combine consultation, pulse diagnosis, treatment plan design, and the first treatment itself in one session. Pulse diagnosis is used to identify the underlying pattern, not just the presenting complaint — this is why treatment is calibrated to you rather than to a symptom label.
Needles are fine and, for most patients, painless. Some points produce a brief sensation of pressure or warmth, which is expected and part of how the treatment works. You remain fully clothed for most treatments; loose clothing is helpful.
Typical course: 3-4 sessions, weekly
