June is Men’s Health Month, making it a great time to talk about chronic prostatitis treatment. Chronic prostatitis, also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), is a common but often overlooked condition. It can cause pelvic pain, urinary issues, and sometimes problems with sexual function.

At our Edmonton acupuncture clinic, we often help men who haven’t found relief elsewhere. Acupuncture offers a natural, drug-free way to ease chronic prostatitis symptoms and improve daily life.

If you are dealing with pain or urinary problems linked to chronic prostatitis, schedule a free consultation with our clinic to learn how acupuncture may support your recovery.

What is Chronic Prostatitis?

Chronic prostatitis, or CP/CPPS, is a common condition that causes pelvic pain, urinary problems, and sexual health issues. Symptoms may come and go, often affecting both physical and emotional well-being.

Bacteria cause some cases, but many are not, which makes treatment with antibiotics or pain medication less effective. As a result, more men are turning to acupuncture for relief.

Acupuncture supports both body and mind, helping to ease pain and stress when used regularly in conjunction with other collaborative care, such as herbs or supplements.

In honour of Men’s Health Month, it’s important to talk about male fertility and how acupuncture can help. Read the full post to learn more.

The Research Behind Acupuncture for Prostatitis

Many men want natural options when dealing with chronic prostatitis treatment, especially after trying medication without strong results. Research is now showing that acupuncture can make a real difference.

A large study looked at 20 high-quality clinical trials with over 1,600 men who had chronic prostatitis symptoms. The results were clear. Men who received acupuncture had better outcomes than those who took medication or received fake treatments. They experienced less pain, had fewer problems with urination, and noticed an overall improvement in their daily lives.

Why is acupuncture helpful? It may work by reducing inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that acupuncture can lower markers such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8. These are linked to swelling and discomfort. Acupuncture also helps improve blood flow to the pelvic area and supports the nervous system. This can calm pain signals and relax tight muscles that may be adding to the discomfort.

At our clinic, we see these benefits in action. Acupuncture does not merely mask symptoms. It works with your body to help it heal.

More Ways Acupuncture Supports Chronic Prostatitis Relief

We’ve already covered a few ways acupuncture can help, but there’s more to the picture. Acupuncture doesn’t just target one symptom—it supports the entire body in working better together. Here are a few more ways it may help:

• Supports the body’s pain-control system
  Acupuncture encourages the release of natural chemicals, such as endorphins, that help alleviate pain and improve mood.

• Helps with emotional stress
  Dealing with chronic prostatitis symptoms can be frustrating and stressful. Acupuncture supports mental well-being by helping the nervous system stay calm.

• Builds resilience and energy
  Chronic conditions like prostatitis can be draining. Acupuncture helps restore energy levels by supporting hormonal balance and the body’s stress response.

At our clinic, we take a full-body approach. We look at how everything is connected, from pain and muscle tension to sleep and stress. That is why acupuncture can be a helpful option for men looking for real, lasting relief.

What to Expect from Treatment

When you visit our clinic for chronic prostatitis treatment, we create a personalized plan based on your symptoms, history, and goals.

Here’s what a typical treatment plan may look like:

• Treatment frequency
  Most men begin with acupuncture sessions two to three times a week for the first few weeks. This helps build momentum and supports better results early on. As symptoms improve, we adjust the schedule.

• Acupuncture points
  Common points we may use include:

  • SP6 (near the inner leg)

  • BL33 and BL35 (near the lower back and sacrum)
    These areas help support pelvic health, reduce tension, and improve circulation.

• Individualized care
  We also take into account your sleep, digestion, stress levels, and any other concerns you may have. Herbal medicine or supplements may be suggested to support recovery and reduce inflammation.

• When to expect results
  Some men feel better after just a few sessions. Others notice changes after a few weeks. Regular treatment and following your complete care plan are essential for making progress.

Our team is here to support you every step of the way. We understand this condition can take a toll on your daily life, and we are committed to helping you feel better with care that treats both the body and mind.
