Bladder Leakage and Pelvic Floor Care in Tremonton
Leaking when you laugh, rushing to find a restroom, or planning your day around bathroom breaks can quietly take over your life. Many people stop exercising, avoid travel or skip social events because of it. It is also far more common than most people realize, and it affects both women and men.
At our Tremonton clinic, we offer a non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles. You sit fully clothed in a specially designed treatment chair while focused electromagnetic energy stimulates the muscles that support bladder control.
Signs You May Benefit From Pelvic Floor Strengthening
- Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift or exercise
- Sudden, strong urges to urinate that are hard to hold back
- Needing to urinate frequently during the day
- Waking up more than once a night to use the bathroom
- Dribbling after urinating
- Wearing pads or liners "just in case"
- Avoiding activities you enjoy because of bladder worries
Why Pelvic Floor Muscles Weaken
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that works like a supportive sling for the bladder and other pelvic organs. When those muscles lose strength or coordination, bladder control can suffer. Common causes include:
- Pregnancy and childbirth, which stretch and strain the pelvic floor
- Menopause, when hormonal changes affect tissue strength
- Prostate surgery or prostate enlargement in men
- Aging and natural loss of muscle tone
- Chronic coughing, heavy lifting or high-impact exercise
- Extra body weight, which adds pressure on the bladder
Traditional pelvic floor exercises can help, but many people find them hard to perform correctly or consistently.
How Our Pelvic Floor Treatment Works
During each session, the treatment chair delivers focused electromagnetic energy that causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract deeply and repeatedly. A single session produces thousands of these contractions, far more than most people could do on their own.
Over a series of sessions, this repeated muscle activation is designed to rebuild strength and improve control. Here is what makes the treatment appealing to many patients:
- Fully clothed — no undressing, no gowns, no probes
- Non-invasive — no needles, incisions or medication
- Comfortable — most people feel tingling and muscle contractions, not pain
- No downtime — return to work or daily activities right away
- Time-efficient — sessions typically last about half an hour
What to Expect at Rigby Chiropractic
Your care begins with a private consultation. We discuss your symptoms, health history and goals, and screen for anything that could make the treatment unsuitable. Because the treatment uses electromagnetic energy, it is not recommended for people with certain implanted electronic or metal devices, such as pacemakers, or during pregnancy.
If you are a good candidate, we recommend a treatment schedule, which commonly involves two sessions a week over several weeks. Some patients notice improvement partway through the series, while others see changes closer to the end. Results vary, and some people benefit from periodic maintenance sessions to help keep their progress.
We may also share simple habits that support bladder health, such as fluid timing, bladder training and avoiding common irritants like excess caffeine.
When to See a Doctor Right Away
Seek emergency care if you suddenly lose bladder or bowel control along with back pain, leg weakness, or numbness in the groin or inner thighs, as this can signal a serious nerve problem. Please see your physician promptly if you notice blood in your urine, pain or burning when urinating, fever, or a sudden change in bladder habits. Men with new urinary symptoms should also have their prostate health checked by a medical doctor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pelvic floor chair really work for incontinence?
Many patients report fewer leaks and more control after completing a full series of sessions, particularly those with stress incontinence or weak pelvic floor muscles. Results vary based on the cause and severity of your symptoms, your age and your overall health. During your consultation, we will help you decide whether this approach is a good fit for you.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people find it comfortable. You will feel strong muscle contractions and tingling in the pelvic area, and the intensity is adjusted to your comfort level. Since you stay fully clothed and simply sit in the chair, many patients are surprised by how easy the sessions are. You can return to your normal day immediately afterward.
Can men use pelvic floor treatment?
Yes. Men experience bladder leakage too, especially after prostate surgery or with age. The pelvic floor plays an important role in bladder control for men as well as women. If you have recently had prostate surgery, we recommend checking with your urologist before starting treatment, and we are happy to coordinate with your medical team.
How many sessions will I need?
Most treatment plans involve a short series of sessions scheduled a few days apart over several weeks. The exact number depends on your symptoms and how your body responds. We will recommend a schedule during your consultation and review your progress along the way.
Is incontinence just a normal part of aging?
It is common, but that does not mean you have to accept it. Bladder leakage often comes from weakened pelvic floor muscles, which can frequently be strengthened at any age. Many people put off seeking help because of embarrassment, so we keep every visit private, respectful and judgment-free.
