Acupuncture

Acupuncture for pelvic health in Orange County — expert care for pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, hormonal balance, and pelvic floor dysfunction.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points in the body, helping restore balance, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing processes. At Sarton Pelvic Healing in Tustin, CA, our acupuncture program is uniquely tailored to patients with pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic pain, postpartum recovery needs, and hormonal imbalances.

Unlike general acupuncture clinics, we are proud to have a seasoned acupuncturist with over 30 years of experience focusing solely on pelvic health. Patients travel from across Orange County and beyond to benefit from his rare expertise, making our clinic one of the most trusted destinations for pelvic health acupuncture in Southern California.

How It Helps

Acupuncture for pelvic health is designed to:

  • Relieve pelvic pain from conditions such as endometriosis, painful periods, and painful intercourse
  • Support postpartum recovery, easing tension and restoring energy balance
  • Improve bladder and bowel symptoms (incontinence, urgency, constipation)
  • Regulate hormones to support fertility, menstrual health, and menopause transitions
  • Reduce stress and calm the nervous system, which directly impacts pelvic floor tension
  • Enhance circulation and healing in the pelvic region, complementing pelvic floor physical therapy

What to Expect

Overview of What Happens
You’ll rest comfortably while very fine, sterile needles are placed in specific acupuncture points related to your pelvic health needs. Points may be on the abdomen, back, hips, legs, or arms — depending on your symptoms.

Typical Duration and Frequency
Sessions usually last 45–60 minutes, and many patients begin with weekly treatments before tapering to maintenance care as symptoms improve.

Sensations and Safety Considerations
Acupuncture is safe, non-invasive, and well tolerated. Most patients feel only a mild tingling or dull ache at the needle site, followed by deep relaxation. Many describe leaving sessions feeling calmer, lighter, and more balanced.
