We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our specialized HPJ Pelvic Floor Acupuncture Program, beginning January 2025. This innovative treatment integrates evidence-based techniques with cutting-edge medical understanding to address one of the most overlooked aspects of health: the pelvic floor

Think of your pelvic floor as the foundation of a house. When this foundation is strong, everything above it functions smoothly. When it’s compromised, the effects ripple throughout the entire structure. Yet surprisingly, many people live with pelvic floor dysfunction without realizing there’s a solution.

Pelvic Floor Stats:

  • Studies show that 35% of those with pelvic pain also presented with irritable bowel syndrome.
  • Another showed that 61% of women with bladder pain syndrome and 50% of those with endometriosis also have comorbid pelvic pain. 
  • Pelvic pain has a prevalence of >25% in women and >15% in men, and up to 50% of cases are undiagnosed
  • 20% of women and 8% of men report experiencing pain during intercourse, often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction. And these are just the people who were willing to talk about it…. Pro Tip: Pain during sex is not normal
  • The annual cost of pelvic health care in the United States is estimated to be around $16 Billion, with a significant portion attributed to the treatment of urinary incontinence
  • Approximately 46% of patients with chronic pelvic pain have reported experiencing sexual or physical abuse, including sexual assault or domestic violence, according to studies conducted in pelvic pain clinics
  • The Vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the body. In fact research shows fibers going all the way from the cranium to the pelvis. Which is why  patients with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction are 94.6% more likely to also experience jaw dysfunction.
  • There is a direct correlation between our digestive tract and our pelvic floor. This means that there is dysfunction in either the digestive tract or the floor or both, we are very likely producing less serotonin than optimal. 90% of serotonin is released from the gut (Serotonin is linked to a positive mood, great sleep, good memory capacity, and reduced stress). 

Understanding Pelvic Floor Health

Your pelvic floor isn’t just a set of muscles – it’s a complex network that supports your core, affects your posture, influences your breathing, and impacts everything from bladder control to sexual function. When these muscles become too tight or too weak, the effects can be far-reaching and significantly impact your quality of life.

The Magic of Acupuncture for Pelvic Health

Acupuncture offers a unique approach to pelvic floor care.

Through precise trigger point needling, dry needling, and targeted neuromuscular techniques, we can:

  • Release deep muscle tension and fascial restrictions
  • Improve local blood circulation and tissue oxygenation
  • Reduce inflammation and neural sensitivity
  • Support healthy muscle function and tone
  • Facilitate neuromuscular re-education
  • Support natural tissue healing processes

 Who Can Benefit?

Our program is especially valuable for:

  • New Mothers
    Pregnancy and childbirth fundamentally change your pelvic floor. Whether you delivered vaginally or via C-section, acupuncture can support your postpartum recovery, helping restore strength and function while addressing common issues like incontinence or diastasis recti.
  • Menopausal Women
    Hormonal changes during menopause can affect pelvic floor strength and tissue health. Our treatments help manage symptoms like vaginal dryness, frequent urination, and pelvic organ prolapse while supporting overall hormonal balance.
  • Active Adults
    Whether you’re a runner, yogi, or weekend warrior, pelvic floor health is crucial for performance and injury prevention. Our program helps maintain optimal muscle function and prevents exercise-related pelvic floor issues.
  • Office Workers
    Prolonged sitting can wreak havoc on your pelvic floor. Our treatments address the effects of sedentary lifestyles, improving posture and reducing discomfort.
  • Men with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) or Chronic Prostatitis
    Many men don’t realize that pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact their daily lives. While often overlooked, the pelvic floor plays a crucial role in men’s health, affecting everything from athletic performance to intimate wellness.
