EMSELLA®

For the leak that comes with a cough, a laugh, or a workout, and for the urge that arrives without warning. EMSELLA strengthens the pelvic floor while you sit fully clothed in a chair.

Medical equipment including a specialized chair with a hand-held device and a control unit on wheels, used for medical treatments or examinations.

Stop planning your day around the nearest bathroom.

Bladder leaks are common, and they are not something you have to accept as part of getting older or having children. The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that supports the bladder and helps control when it empties. Pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, hormonal change, chronic coughing, and aging can all weaken it. When those muscles lose strength and coordination, leaking, urgency, and frequent trips to the bathroom tend to follow. a weak pelvic floor can also cause core instability. This causes pelvic misalignment, which could lead to back pain, and problems with gait and balance.

EMSELLA uses focused electromagnetic energy to contract the pelvic floor muscles thousands of times in a single session. These contractions are stronger than anything you can produce on your own, and they are designed to strengthen the muscles and improve how well they work together. You sit fully clothed on the treatment chair for 28 minutes. Most patients describe a tingling and a rhythmic pulling sensation. A standard course is six sessions, two a week for three weeks.

Pelvic floor weakness and bladder symptoms rarely stand alone. Before recommending treatment we look at posture, core strength, hormones, medications, and anything else that may be contributing, and EMSELLA is often combined with osteopathic manipulative treatment or hormone care. Start with an evaluation and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

Schedule a pelvic health evaluation and we will build the plan around what is actually causing your symptoms.
