EMSELLA IN EDMONTON AND SHERWOOD PARK
Do you struggle with urinary incontinence? Bladder leakage? Nocturia (getting up to pee at night)? Or erectile dysfunction? Let us introduce you to our Kegel Throne, aka the Emsella Chair! The Emsella Chair is a groundbreaking new form of technology that strengthens and lifts our pelvic floor which conveys many health benefits!
When the pelvic floor weakens over time, the pelvic floor muscles become laxed and stretched, especially so after pregnancy. Thus these muscles can eventually insufficiently support the pelvic organs and affect bladder control, thus leading to issues like incontinence (bladder leakage) and more. Thankfully, we have a treatment where patients can simply sit back, relax, and let our technology take care of all the work for you.
The Emsella Chair, aka the Kegel Throne, is an innovative new approach to incontinence treatment. Completely non-invasive, easy, and with no downtime, this walk-in-walk-out procedure takes just under 30 minutes. Using HIFEM (high-intensity-focused-electromagnetic) energy, we are able to induce thousands of contractions to help strengthen and lift your pelvic floor.
Benefits
Urinary Incontinence
Emsella’s main protocol aids with patients struggling with Stress and Urge Urinary Incontinence. By tightening the pelvic floor, we can reduce bladder leakage and nocturia by helping you regain control over your bladder.
Core to Floor
When paired, the combination of Emsculpt Neo ab treatments with pelvic floor strengthening promotes a revitalization of the entire core for our patients. Helping with back pain and atrophy, all with body sculpting benefits.
Sexual Health
With Emsella’s second protocol, we can help revitalize our patients’ sexual health. Targeting different muscles and encouraging proper blood flow, we can bring back sensation, confidence, and joy to your intimate life.
Balance, Posture, and Endurance
By strengthening the muscles of the lower abdomen, either through the use of the Emsella Chair or the Core to Floor treatment plan, we can significantly improve patients’ balance, sit-to-stand ease, and muscle endurance.
How Does It Work?
The Emsella chair uses oscillating electromagnetism to generate High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate your pelvic floor muscles into completing rhythmic supramaximal contractions (something not possible with conscious control). These supramaximal contractions lead to new muscle recruitment, new muscle cellular division, and muscle tissue remodeling—effectively lifting the pelvic floor up to 5 cm.
Each treatment generates 11,800 contractions, which would be equivalent to doing 11,800 kegel exercises, but with supramaximal contractions. This continuous stimulation over the course of the instructed sessions leads to retained control over the pelvic floor muscles and bladder.
WHAT ARE THE TREATMENTS LIKE?
Easy and fast. The most incredible feature to the Emsella chair is that you’re able to remain fully clothed. The treatment calls for our patients to sit and relax for 28 minutes while the machine does all the work for them. There is no pain and no downtime, so you are able to get right back to your day upon leaving.
You will feel a slight contraction of the targeted area, similar to doing a kegel exercise, except you don’t have to put in any work. The intensity of the contracts depends entirely on your comfort level and our team will work to find the best treatment method for you, guiding you through the entire treatment.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM EMSELLA?
Emsella is beneficial to both men and women. Postpartum and menopausal women as well as men who have undergone prostate surgery (prostatectomy) and struggle with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Stress Urinary incontinence is the symptom of losing control of the bladder due to increased valsalva pressure (the pressure inside generated when laughing, crying, sneezing, coughing, etc). There is also demonstrated benefit for helping with erectile dysfunction, nocturia, and quality of life.
