Emsella Chair in Decatur

Beneath the seat, a cone-shaped device emits high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to target the pelvic floor muscles. This energy stimulates your muscles rapidly, mimicking intense workouts without the overall bodily strain.

The contractions caused by Emsella are supramaximal, meaning they are much stronger than normal contractions. After thousands of these contractions in a single session, your muscles can then strengthen and thicken.

Just as you would a regular workout, you must take a few days for your body to rest and recover before your next session. Your treatment will include twice weekly sessions with the Emsella chair in Decatur for 8 to 10 appointments. This gives your muscles enough time to build up their defense against incontinence.

The Emsella chair treats all three of the main urinary incontinence varieties: stress, urge, and mixed. If you have recently given birth, are going through menopause, or have experienced injury in the pelvic floor, you are more likely to experience incontinence.

The only patients we cannot treat are those with metal implants. These can interfere with the device’s electromagnetic energy and should not come into contact with the chair.

Before visiting us for your treatment with the Emsella chair in Decatur, you should drink as much water as you can. We typically recommend half your body weight in ounces per day for maximum hydration. This helps encourage your muscles to recover as much as possible before your next appointment.

If you have any questions about current medications or treatments that you may need to pause, we can go over them during your consultation. You can also reach out to us ahead of time for any other questions about the treatment.
