Incontinence & Pelvic Pain Therapy
If you’re avoiding activities you love, because you’re afraid you might lose control of your bladder, it’s likely you suffer from a common condition called urinary incontinence. No, you’re not just “getting old” and no, surgery isn’t the only solution.
What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control. There are two main types. Stress incontinence occurs during certain activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. Urge incontinence involves a strong sudden urge followed by instant bladder contraction and involuntary loss of urine.
Incontinence therapy is an effective treatment option that uses manual therapy techniques, education, exercise instruction, bladder training and scheduling, electrical stimulation and biofeedback* to improve these symptoms.
Incontinence therapy may eliminate the need for surgery and have you experiencing results sooner than you think. To learn more about the components of this newest women’s healthcare offering, call Carrie Taylor and see if incontinence therapy is right for you.
* Biofeedback involves measuring a patient’s muscle tension and contraction. Special sensors, detect muscle activity and the information is displayed in graph form on a computer screen. This allows the patient to perform exercises and receive feedback on the activity, helping her gain awareness and conscious control.
