Cystitis Program
Cystitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the bladder, often leading to discomfort, frequent urination, and a persistent urge to urinate. At Scottsdale Family Acupuncture, we provide a holistic and natural approach to treating cystitis, focusing on long-term relief and prevention.
​
Understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Patterns:

Our Approach: We use acupuncture and herbal remedies to clear heat and eliminate dampness from the bladder.

Our Approach: We nourish the kidney yin and clear heat to restore balance and alleviate symptoms.
Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness

Our Approach: We strengthen the spleen to improve fluid metabolism and reduce dampness.

What to Expect
