Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Incontinence Direct, offering EMS treatment (Emsella Alternative) for incontinence.

FAQs

Q1. What is EMS treatment for incontinence?

EMS (Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation) is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This helps improve bladder and bowel control, effectively reducing or eliminating symptoms of urinary and fecal incontinence.

Q2. How does EMS treatment work?

EMS works by sending electromagnetic pulses to the pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract and relax. These deep muscle contractions are more powerful than what can be achieved through traditional exercises, helping to rebuild strength and control in the muscles that support bladder and bowel function.

Q3. Is EMS treatment similar to Emsella?

Yes, EMS is an alternative to the Emsella chair. Both treatments use electromagnetic energy to target the pelvic floor muscles, but EMS treatment is unique in its technology and approach, offering the same non-invasive, pain-free solution for incontinence.

Q4. Who is a good candidate for EMS treatment?

EMS treatment is suitable for men and women who are experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. This includes individuals who have incontinence due to aging, childbirth, surgery, or other factors. It is especially ideal for those looking for a non-surgical, drug-free solution.

Q5. How many sessions of EMS treatment do I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of your incontinence. Typically, clients undergo 6–8 sessions, with each session lasting about 30 minutes. During your consultation, our specialists will create a personalized treatment plan to best suit your needs.

Q6. Is EMS treatment painful?

No, EMS treatment is completely painless. Most clients describe the sensation as a series of mild muscle contractions, which feel similar to pelvic floor exercises but at a much deeper level. You can sit comfortably during the session and even relax or read while the treatment is taking place.

Q7. Do I need any downtime after EMS treatment?

No downtime is required after EMS treatment. You can return to your daily activities immediately after each session, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Q8. How long do the results of EMS treatment last?

The longevity of your results depends on various factors, such as the severity of your incontinence and how well you maintain pelvic floor strength post-treatment. Many clients experience long-lasting relief, but periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain optimal results.

Q9. Is EMS treatment suitable for both men and women?

EMS works by sending electromagnetic pulses to the pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract and relax. These deep muscle contractions are more powerful than what can be achieved through traditional exercises, helping to rebuild strength and control in the muscles that support bladder and bowel function.

Q10. How does the Emsella alternative EMS treatment work?

Yes, EMS is an alternative to the Emsella chair. Both treatments use electromagnetic energy to target the pelvic floor muscles, but EMS treatment is unique in its technology and approach, offering the same non-invasive, pain-free solution for incontinence.

Q11. How do I know if EMS treatment is right for me?

If you are dealing with incontinence and looking for a non-surgical, non-invasive solution, EMS treatment may be right for you. We recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our specialists at Incontinence Direct, where we can evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.

Q12. How is the EMS treatment different from Emsella?

While both treatments use electromagnetic energy to target pelvic floor muscles, our EMS alternative focuses on offering a customized approach with the same non-invasive benefits. Both treatments are effective for managing incontinence, but our EMS treatment may come with a more tailored experience depending on the needs of each client.

Q13. Can I combine EMS treatment with other incontinence therapies?

EMS treatment is a stand-alone therapy that effectively strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, but it can be complemented by other lifestyle changes, such as pelvic floor exercises or dietary modifications, to enhance results. Always consult your doctor or specialist before combining treatments.

Q14. How soon can I expect to see results?

EMS treatment is a stand-alone therapy that effectively strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, but it can be complemented by other lifestyle changes, such as pelvic floor exercises or dietary modifications, to enhance results. Always consult your doctor or specialist before combining treatments.

Q15. Are there any side effects associated with Emsella alternative EMS treatment?

Emsella alternative EMS treatment is considered safe with minimal side effects. Some clients may experience mild muscle soreness after treatment, similar to the feeling after exercising, but this usually resolves quickly.
