Acupuncture Treatment For Prostate Disorders

Acupuncture is believed to be an effective way to relieve some of the symptoms of prostate disease.  Acupuncture treatment for this disorder mainly targets the acupoint of UB33. UB33  known as Zhongliao or Middle Crevice which is an acupoint located on the sacrum.  This acupoint is considered to be the meeting point of the bladder and gallbladder channels. Stimulation of this acupoint is done after the needles  have been inserted using an  electrostimulator.  The treatment requires 16 treatments in one month.
