Acupuncture for bladder weakness

Feeling fully in control again

Acupuncture for bladder weakness can be a big help for improving bladder strength and resilience.  Some degree of bladder weakness is surprisingly common.  You may urinate frequently, you may have feelings of urgency or weakness, or you may experience a little leak here and there.

Many people regularly wake to pee in the night time, but a healthy strong bladder should be able to make it through the night quite happily.  Having your sleep interrupted in this way is of course tiring in itself, and may be gradually depleting your energy levels.

Or it may be that your bladder does not feel as strong as it might with running or other physical activities, when sneezing, coughing or laughing, or if you have to hold on for a while and there isn't a loo nearby.  And many people find their bladders more pressing at times of stress such as pressurised work deadlines or other demanding situations.  For some people their bladder had never felt fully robust, and it may be worsening with age.  For others it may have weakened following trauma, surgery, childbirth, or repeated bladder and/or kidney infections.

Acupuncture doesn't use a 'one size fits all' approach, and Jessica will discuss your wider health with you in some detail to reach a fully individualised diagnosis and treatment plan.
