Pelvic Health Education for Acupuncturists

Continuing Education Courses PDAs / CEUs for Acupuncturists

32 % of women and 16 % of men are experiencing Pelvic Pain or Dysfunction

As an acupuncturist, healing and medicine run through your veins. You are a unique and beautiful gift to your clients. Pelvic Health is an underserved population and the most commonly recommended treatments are pharmaceuticals. Holistically, we know that while pharmaceuticals may improve the symptoms or some of the symptoms, they often don’t treat the root of the dysfunction. As an acupuncturist, your magic is in identifying the cause of the dysfunction and creating a treatment plan that is laser focused on the SOURCE. This means that the client’s symptoms improve and so does the overall disharmony in the system.
