Acupuncture and Acupressure
Some women have reported relief from pelvic pain after acupuncture or acupressure (a needleless approach). Of particular interest is reflexology, a variant technique that uses manual pressure on acupuncture points on the ears, hands, and feet. In one study comparing this technique to a sham procedure, those who had true reflexology had significantly fewer PMS symptoms than women who received a sham treatment.
