Possibly.: First - would recommend medical evaluation by your physician (or a specialist) to determine the cause of your bladder symptoms. There are protocols for over-active bladder which are reported to be beneficial. You can discuss using acupuncture as an adjunct to your treatment with your physician. Take care.

Nerve stimulation: There is a medical device called urgent PC for tibial nerve stimulation that is based on acupuncture principles where a weekly visit to the physician is required for 12 weeks and the tibial nerve near the ankle is stimulated by this device(not painful) which in turn stimulates the bladder nerves to become less excited. you could see this video at www.westchesterurology.com
