The Emsella chair is a non-invasive medical device designed to help improve pelvic floor muscle strength and treat certain types of urinary incontinence. The Emsella chair utilizes a technology called High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy. It sends focused electromagnetic waves to the pelvic floor muscles, stimulating muscle contractions and strengthening them without surgery or invasive procedures.
Conditions that can benefit from treatment in the Emsella chair:
. Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI): SUI is a prevalent condition, especially among women, where coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising can lead to unintentional urine leakage. This occurs due to weakened pelvic floor muscles responsible for supporting the bladder and urethra. The Emsella chair can help strengthen these muscles, reducing or even eliminating urinary incontinence episodes.
. Postpartum Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Pregnancy and childbirth can strain pelvic floor muscles significantly, leading to weakness and incontinence issues. Emsella can be a useful option for postpartum women to regain pelvic floor strength and control.
. Age-Related Pelvic Floor Issues: As individuals age, their pelvic floor muscles can naturally weaken, leading to bladder control problems. Emsella can be beneficial for older adults who experience urinary incontinence as a result of age-related muscle changes.
. Pre and Post-Surgical Support: Emsella treatment can be recommended before and after pelvic surgeries to prepare the muscles or aid recovery. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles before surgery can lead to better surgical outcomes, while post-surgical treatment can accelerate healing and improve long-term results.
. Enhanced Intimate Health: Strong pelvic floor muscles are crucial in sexual function and satisfaction. By strengthening these muscles, some patients may experience improved sexual well-being and intimate health.
. Urinary Frequency and Urgency: Overactive bladder symptoms, such as frequent and urgent urination, can be associated with weak pelvic floor muscles. Strengthening these muscles with Emsella may help reduce the frequency and urgency of urination.
As with any medical treatment, patients need to have realistic expectations and understand that individual results may vary. Emsella should be seen as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include lifestyle modifications and other therapies depending on the specific pelvic health needs of the patient. Always consult with a healthcare provider to explore the best approach for your unique situation.
Here’s what you can expect during a session in the Emsella chair:
. Comfortable Seating: The chair is designed to be ergonomic and comfortable. You’ll be seated fully clothed during the treatment.
. No Downtime: Emsella sessions are typically quick and efficient, lasting about 20-30 minutes each. One benefit is that no downtime or recovery is needed after the session. You can resume your daily activities immediately afterward.
. Non-Invasive: Since it is a non-invasive procedure, there are no incisions, injections, or anesthesia required.
. Targeted Treatment: The focused electromagnetic waves specifically target the pelvic floor muscles, causing thousands of muscle contractions during a single session. These contractions help to strengthen and tone the muscles over time.
. Treatment Plan: The number of recommended sessions can vary depending on your individual needs and the severity of your condition. Typically, several sessions over a few weeks are advised to achieve the best results.
The Emsella chair has shown promising results in helping individuals who suffer from stress urinary incontinence or other pelvic floor issues. It’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Emsella is the right treatment option for you. They will assess your medical history and discuss your symptoms to ensure it’s safe and suitable for your specific condition.
