I have the pleasure of teaching around the country and interacting with acupuncturists on a daily basis. I hear success stories, major milestones, transformations—and lately, a resounding sense of fear. This fear stems from so many questions about our collective identity as acupuncturists. With a good number of acupuncture schools closing their doors, it makes sense that we have a lot of questions.

At The Pelvic Acu, we believe that understanding both Eastern and Western approaches to pelvic health makes us stronger practitioners and better advocates for our clients. That’s why we’ve created another free mini-course, this time focused on the pessary—a non-surgical medical device that can provide support for those experiencing pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence.

Pelvic Care Case Study Care Planning is a grand rounds style live webinar. The concept is such that practitioners bring cases to the table (or I bring some from my own experience) including the biomedical and TCM diagnoses, case history and any other pertinent client information. We'll discuss the most important components of treatment including home programs, acupuncture points, and complementary treatments.

We’re thrilled to share that The Pelvic Acu was featured in the latest FSOMA newsletter! The published article, “Case Study: Resolving Suprapubic Pain and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in the Third Trimester,” by Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, highlights a powerful example of how integrative care can ease pregnancy-related discomfort.

The Pelvic Acu returns to the TO THE POINT podcast from the American Acupuncture Council. In this episode, Dr. Couture dove deep into one of the most important (and too often overlooked) areas of women’s health: Pelvic Floor and Postpartum Care.
