Urinary incontinence affects over 25 million adult Americans, and yet you feel like you’re the only person in the world with this problem.
This problem manifests itself in a myriad of ways, including:
- Not being able to wait to urinate until you find a bathroom.
- Leaking pee when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or perform other activities.
- Feeling a sudden, intense urge to pee.
- Urinating frequently, including at night.
There are many causes of this, especially in women, including pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Men also experience this, though less often, from enlarged prostates and prostate cancer.
At Iowa Wellness Center, we believe that the best urinary incontinence treatment in North Liberty is the Emsella chair. To understand how this treatment helps with urine leakage, we need to explore the pelvic floor.
The Pelvic Floor
Your pelvic floor stretches from your pubic bone to your tailbone and holds vital organs like your bladder, bowels, and prostate (men) or uterus (women). Along with holding these important organs, it also helps them function.
However, over time or with trauma, these muscles weaken, often resulting in the urinary symptoms you’re concerned about, and other issues as well. The best way to strengthen these muscles and improve your bladder function is through pelvic floor therapy.
Emsella: Pelvic Floor Therapy
Emsella rebuilds your pelvic floor by inducing up to 11,000 to 12,000 muscle contractions in the span of 28 minutes. These contractions, comparable but more effective than Kegel exercises, re-educate and strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles.
Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, this device stimulates contractions within your pelvic floor muscles. The best part? All you’re required to do is simply arrive on time and sit on the chair.
Emsella requires a series of 6 to 12 sessions over the course of 2 to 3 months to see full results. We can discuss the best schedule to help you find relief.

We can offer at-home support alongside advice on how to maintain your results. This advice is always tailored to your individual needs, depending on your symptoms and their severity.
