Acupuncture for Overactive Bladder - Lion's Heart SF - Kim Peirano LAc Video Lecture | Understanding Accupressure and Different Body Points - Health & Fitness

hi I'm Kim piranha was lion's heart San
Francisco and today I wanted to talk a
little bit about something I recently
read on Facebook from the friends post
and it was basically talking about how
he just saw an ad for Botox and how can
treat migraines and this spa the slew of
comments about other things that people
have heard the Botox treats and my
comment to basically every single
comment was acupuncture treatises - and
probably treats it better but the
pharmaceutical industry is never gonna
let you know that so a couple of things
like the post that he had posted was
about Botox treating migraines so
migraines trigeminal neuralgia any kind
of head pain acupuncture can treat Botox
treats wrinkles obviously and cosmetic
acupuncture can treat that too and
another comment that came up was which I
have not verified if this is actually
correct but that they've heard that
Botox can treat bladder problems by
injecting Botox directly into the
bladder which doesn't ring is quite the
best idea in my opinion
anyhow I compose we can treat this too
so all of these things that people are
using Botox to treat you can get relief
from acupuncture with and we're gonna
talk a little bit more about the bladder
issue because this is something that
I've found a ton of success in so people
will come like one or two times and
problems can be completely resolved and
I'm talking specifically about
overactive bladder or flatter
incontinence women who have had children
and then you sneeze or you laugh and you
pee a little bit this is kind of exactly
the patient that can benefit from
acupuncture and there's been in the
medical community community of some
research on percutaneous tibial nerve
stimulation for this exact problem and
basically what they're doing is exactly
they're doing acupuncture and calling it
something else and using electro stem on
it too
as problems so any acupuncturist can do
this and it's something I've seen great
success in so by stimulating the tibial
nerve we're stimulating the bladder to
re-regulate and wake up again and
function as it's supposed to function so
patients come in like one or two times
usually there's a bunch of relief after
that and it's kind of something you
probably should maintain doing but it
really depends on how you get relief
from it so if it works great and works
great forever one time then that's it if
it's something that needs to be
continued you need to keep coming every
week or every month to kind of keep on
it and that's kind of what you do and
this provides a ton of relief if not
reverses the problem completely every
person is totally different but I've had
a lot of success with it and if this is
something that you suffer from I
encourage you to find an acupuncturist
in your area and give it a try you can
ask about percutaneous nerve stimulation
by name or just asked about overactive
bladder I find that this is something
people don't often talk a lot about so
it's great to get that conversation
started if you'd like more information
