Acupuncture helps with pelvic pain during pregnancy, study finds

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

A study published in the British Medical Journal indicates that the use of acupuncture to combat pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women is an effective pain relief strategy. Pelvic girdle pain is a common complaint among pregnant women, but there is no cure for the condition.

Researchers found that women receiving acupuncture in addition to standard treatments for pelvic girdle pain (such as pelvic belts and exercise programs) showed less pain than the group not receiving acupuncture. The study also found that the use of stabilizing exercises to improve mobility and strength also led to a reduction of pain, but not as much as the acupuncture.
