What Is EMSELLA®?
EMSELLA® is a breakthrough incontinence treatment that can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through a discrete and completely non-invasive treatment. The device uses electromagnetic energy to force the pelvic floor muscles into thousands of supramaximal contractions during a treatment session. These powerful contractions strengthen and re-educate the pelvic floor muscles to treat incontinence at the source.
The pelvic floor muscles are instrumental in supporting the organs, including the bladder, bowels, and the uterus. The natural aging process, one or multiple pregnancies, and other factors can weaken these muscles, resulting in incontinence and other unpleasant symptoms. At Better Body, Inc. in Medford, NY, we offer EMSELLA® to naturally strengthen these muscles to improve health and alleviate such symptoms.

What Causes Incontinence?
There are several different factors that can contribute to urinary incontinence. The aging process, obesity, one or more vaginal deliveries, and menopause are the most common causes of urinary incontinence. All of these conditions weaken the pelvic floor muscles so that they can no longer effectively support the organs like they once did. As a result, the symptoms of urinary incontinence develop.
What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence comes in many different forms. While it’s technically defined as an involuntary urine leakage, three primary types exist. Urge incontinence refers to a sudden, frequent, and intense need to urinate. Stress incontinence results from excess pressure on the bladder during exercise or when sneezing, coughing, or laughing.
Mixed incontinence refers to a combination of both urge and stress incontinence. Regardless of which type of urinary incontinence you have, this condition can negatively impact your confidence and your quality of life.
