| Interstitial Cystitis A CareFirst Blue Cross Preferred ProviderContent on this website is intended for general information only. For answers to your specific questions or to schedule treatment, we invite you to contact us at 301-588-5858.Interstitial cystitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the bladder, which frequently causes severe pain and increased urinary frequency. Although it is not a rare condition, interstitial cystitis is often misdiagnosed in the early stages of disease. Women are affected by interstitial cystitis more often than men. Sometimes, the symptoms worsen around the time of a woman's menstrual cycle. Due to this timing of symptoms, the condition may be misdiagnosed as premenstrual syndrome or endometriosis. For many patients, symptoms may occur intermittently or chronically for years before the correct diagnosis is made. Many patients with interstitial cystitis experience persistent pain even with medications. Unfortunately, most patients experience a progressive worsening of symptoms (or an increase in frequency of symptoms) unless an effective treatment is provided. How We Can HelpOur practice provides effective, specialized acupuncture treatments for interstitial cystitis. In general, our patients with interstitial cystitis experience 80-100% improvement in their symptoms without any side-effects. Depending on the severity of your case, treatment typically takes 1-3 months, with gradual and steady improvement during that time. Treatments are often scheduled weekly or every other week.Acupuncture research at Harvard Medical School and many other institutions around the world have determined that acupuncture has profound effects on the body's physiology. These include a wide range of molecular and cellular effects on the immune system, nervous system, endocrine system, and growth-regulatory systems. As an acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner, Dr. Windsor uses the latest research and technology to find solutions for patients with interstitial cystitis. During treatment for interstitial cystitis, it is sometimes necessary to address another underlying reason for the occurrence of symptoms.
