Electroacupuncture for Overactive Bladder in Norwich (Coming Soon)

Struggling with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms?

Discover how electroacupuncture at Ellie Yuen Physiotherapy can provide relief. This innovative treatment stimulates the nerves using electrical pulses to restore normal bladder function and reduce urgency, frequency, and incontinence.

What is Electroacupuncture for Overactive Bladder?

Overactive Bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder muscles contract too frequently, leading to a sudden, urgent need to urinate. This can cause discomfort, frequent bathroom trips, and even incontinence. Traditional treatments may include medications or surgery, but electroacupuncture offers a non-invasive, effective alternative.

Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture techniques with electrical stimulation to target specific points on the body. By stimulating the nervous system, electroacupuncture can help regulate bladder function, calm overactive bladder contractions, and improve pelvic floor muscle control.

How Ellie Uses Electroacupuncture for OAB

Ellie tailors each electroacupuncture session based on your specific symptoms and needs. By targeting the nerves controlling bladder function, she provides a personalised approach to reducing discomfort and restoring bladder control.

What Does an Electroacupuncture Treatment Involve?

What to Expect During Your First Session
Consultation: Your initial session will include a detailed assessment of your symptoms and pelvic health to create a personalised treatment plan.

Treatment Plan: Depending on your needs, the number of sessions may vary. Most patients see improvement after several sessions.

Treatment begins after an initial consultation and includes weekly sessions. A package of 6 sessions is recommended for the best results.

The Process of Electroacupuncture
During a session, very thin acupuncture needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points along your body. A mild electrical current is then passed through these needles to stimulate the nervous system. The procedure is generally painless, with patients feeling a gentle, tingling sensation at the insertion points.
