Re: Acupuncture in Southern California?
Here's a list of five I was given by an Acucare rep. She told me to confirm with these people that they have experience in treating CPPS. Also, moxsum, you might benefit from the following excerpt from a study on Acupuncture:
The EA therapy protocol included a total of 6 acupuncture points at the bilateral BL32 (zhongliao), BL33 (ciliao), and GB30 (huantiao) were selected according to the theory of neuroanatomy and myofascial pain syndromes. In brief, both BL32 and BL33, located in the second and third posterior sacral foramen on the sacrum, were selected to stimulate the sacral nerve.11 GB30, located at the junction of the lateral one third and medial two thirds of the distance between the great trochanter and the hiatus of the sacrum, was chosen for releasing the myofascial trigger point of the piriformis muscle.12
All acupuncture points were prepared with 70% alcohol pads, and disposable stainless steel needles (40 × 0.25 mm, Dongbang Acupuncture, Chungnam, Republic of Korea) were used. With participants lying prone, the needles were placed perpendicularly about 30 mm deep and stimulated electrically at both right and left acupuncture points with a frequency of 4 Hz and an intensity of 5-10 mA (tolerable strength) with continuous stimulation by the pulse generator (PG-306, Suzuki Iryoki, Japan).13 At GB30, disposable stainless steel needles (70 × 0.30 mm, Dongbang Acupuncture) were inserted deeply to reach the myofascial trigger point of the piriformis muscle.
