Experiencing bladder leaks when you’re out and laughing with your friends, or finding yourself constantly looking for the closest bathroom—these can be exhausting and embarrassing.
While many individuals develop urinary incontinence as they age and experience pelvic floor weakness, it’s not something you have to accept.
At Florida Lakes Spa, we provide urinary incontinence treatment in Wellen Park for patients who struggle with bladder control and leaks. Keep reading as we discuss the power of the Emsella chair and how it helps you reclaim your pelvic health.
Why Do I Have Urinary Incontinence?
Your pelvic floor muscles affect how you control your bladder by contracting and relaxing automatically. If your pelvic floor does not contract or relax when it should, you might experience bladder leaks or frequent urination (urinary incontinence).
Urinary incontinence affects many people (more commonly women) and comes in a few different types.
- Urge Incontinence: Overactive bladder and the intense need to urinate often, sometimes leading to bladder leaks.
- Stress Incontinence: Uncontrolled leaking when laughing, coughing, jumping, or performing any action that puts pressure on the bladder.
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of several types of incontinence that could include a leaky or overactive bladder.
You have a higher risk for developing urinary incontinence if you have experienced:
- Pregnancy and childbirth
- Postpartum and menopause
- Enlarged prostate
- Prostate surgery
Let’s take a look at how pelvic floor therapy with the Emsella chair strengthens your muscles and gives you more control.
We can treat stress, urge, and mixed incontinence by retraining the pelvic floor and improving your confidence.
How Emsella Reduces Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence treatment in Wellen Park helps our patients live their lives more comfortably and without fear of leaks. The Emsella chair uses noninvasive, high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate intense muscle contractions.
As you sit on the Emsella chair, fully clothed, the device emits a controlled level of HIFEM energy, which targets the muscles in your pelvic floor. These muscles contract up to 11,000 times in the 28-minute session! Stronger muscles mean better support for your urinary system, reducing leaks and giving you more control.
After 4 to 6 sessions of Emsella, patients can see an improvement in urinary incontinence for up to a year! We recommend an annual maintenance appointment and frequent Kegel exercises to sustain pelvic floor strength.
When you come in for a consultation, we explore your unique situation and create a care plan designed for you.
Gain Control Where It Matters
We understand the frustration and embarrassment that come with leaks when you sneeze or uncontrollable urges to use the bathroom. That’s why we offer urinary incontinence treatment in Wellen Park: so our patients can live life the way they want to.
