Emsella Treatment

Advanced Emsella® Therapy for Pelvic Floor Strength

Incontinence can happen after pregnancy, as a result of normal aging, or by some other factor, but no matter the cause, its effects keep you from being fully present in your life. If you’re constantly having to slip out to use the restroom, or if you’re worried about the possibility of leaks, your daily activities and relationships can suffer. That’s where Emsella® comes in.

Emsella® is the quickest, safest, and most effective treatment for urinary incontinence. It requires no preparation, and it’s FDA approved for treatment of men and women of all ages.

Emsella®: The Incontinence Treatment Machine

Emsella® is an incontinence treatment chair that administers High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology to reach and tighten the deep muscles of the pelvic floor. This non-surgical method re-educates and strengthens the pelvic floor muscles to restore your body’s control over your pelvic organs, including your bladder.

Emsella® restores your pelvic function much faster than other methods, such as Kegel exercises. In fact, Emsella®’s electromagnetic technology is the equivalent of about 11,000 Kegel exercises, and 95% of treated patients reported a significant improvement to their quality of life.

The treatment won’t cause you any pain and only lasts about 30 minutes. You’ll be fully clothed and relaxed in the comfortably designed Emsella® treatment chair. There’s no downtime, recovery, or side effects, so you can go back to your normal activities as soon as possible. And in most cases, you’ll notice an immediate difference after just one treatment.

The Symptoms of Urinary Incontinence

Incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine or the sudden and often urgent need to use the restroom, is more common in women than in men. Symptoms can range from occasional, minor leaks to more frequent or noticeable episodes that interfere with daily activities. The severity and pattern of symptoms often depend on what is causing the bladder to lose control.

Because urinary incontinence is not the same for everyone, understanding the different types can provide helpful insight into what you may be experiencing. Each type presents in its own way and may be triggered by different situations or underlying factors. The sections below outline the most common forms of urinary incontinence and how they typically present.

Types of Urinary Incontinence

STRESS INCONTINENCE

Stress incontinence is characterized by a sudden leakage caused by sneezing, coughing, laughing, or otherwise causing pressure to the bladder.

OVERFLOW INCONTINENCE

Overflow incontinence is when you have a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by the involuntary release of urine.

FUNCTIONAL INCONTINENCE

Functional incontinence happens when a physical or mental impairment prevents you from reaching the toilet in time.

MIXED INCONTINENCE

Mixed incontinence is when you experience more than one of the above types of incontinence.
