PEAK offers Emsella, a clothed, chair-based pelvic floor treatment designed for urinary incontinence in women and men, starting with a free consultation. If leaks come with pain, blood in your urine, or trouble emptying your bladder, get those checked first.
When to Seek Care Promptly
If you can’t pass urine or empty your bladder, see blood in your urine, or have painful urination, seek medical care promptly rather than waiting for an Emsella consultation.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases lists these among the bladder symptoms that need care right away. Read NIDDK’s guidance.
What PEAK Offers
PEAK offers Emsella, a chair-based treatment that uses electromagnetic stimulation to produce pelvic floor muscle contractions while you stay fully clothed. The manufacturer, BTL, describes its intended use as rehabilitating weak pelvic muscles and restoring neuromuscular control for male and female urinary incontinence. See the manufacturer’s information.
Every patient starts with a free consultation. Your provider reviews your symptoms and history, explains realistic expectations, and tells you plainly whether Emsella fits — or whether a urologist, pelvic floor physical therapist, or your primary care clinician is the better next step.
Know Your Leak Pattern
Leaks when you cough, laugh, lift, or exercise are different from leaks after a sudden, strong urge to urinate, and some people have both. The pattern helps your clinician understand what may be causing the problem.
Before your visit, notice when leaks happen, how often, and whether you also have pain or trouble emptying your bladder.
Other Ways to Treat Leakage
Depending on the cause, care for bladder leakage can include several approaches:
| Approach | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Pelvic floor muscle training | Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor, often guided by a physical therapist |
| Bladder training | Habit and lifestyle changes as part of an individualized care plan |
| Other medical care | Medications, devices, or procedures, depending on the cause |
| Emsella | Chair-based pelvic floor muscle stimulation — offered at PEAK |
