Experience Emsella: Carmel’s Solution to Incontinence

Incontinence can be a deeply personal and often embarrassing issue, but it is far more common than many people realize. Millions of Americans silently struggle with bladder control, often adjusting their lifestyles to accommodate the condition. Whether it’s avoiding long trips, skipping exercise classes, or nervously scanning for restrooms at every public outing, the impact is real.
Fortunately, Carmel residents now have access to a non-invasive, FDA-cleared solution that is changing lives: Emsella.
What Is Emsella and How Does It Work?
Emsella isn’t just another temporary fix or a surgical procedure that requires downtime. It is a revolutionary treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which are often the root cause of urinary incontinence.
Think of your pelvic floor like a trampoline. When it’s firm and tight, it holds everything in place and responds quickly to pressure. But over time, due to aging, childbirth, or other factors, that trampoline can begin to sag. When that happens, leakage may start during activities like laughing, sneezing, or jogging.
This is where Emsella steps in. The device looks like a high-tech chair, and all you have to do is sit on it. In a single 28-minute session, Emsella delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions. In fact, each session produces over 11,000 muscle contractions, similar to Kegel exercises but far more intense and effective.
These deep muscle contractions retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor in ways that regular exercise cannot.
Who Is Emsella For?
According to the National Association for Continence, over 25 million adult Americans experience some form of urinary incontinence. Among women, stress incontinence is the most common type, often resulting from weakened pelvic muscles due to pregnancy, menopause, or aging.
Men are also affected, especially after prostate surgery, although they are less likely to discuss it openly. Emsella is designed to help both women and men, offering a dignified experience that does not require any undressing. Most describe the sensation during treatment as a light tingling with rhythmic muscle contractions. It is not painful, and there is no recovery time.
The Treatment Experience
The process is remarkably simple. You arrive fully clothed and sit on the Emsella chair. As the machine begins, you feel the muscles contract. Some patients describe it as “odd but not uncomfortable.” There are no needles, no anesthesia, and no invasive procedures.
After just one session, many patients begin noticing improvement. A typical treatment plan includes six sessions, scheduled twice a week. You can return to your daily routine immediately afterward.
Carmel clinics offering Emsella often combine the treatment with expert wellness guidance. This creates a more comprehensive approach to improving bladder control and quality of life.
Real Stories, Real Relief
Patients who have completed the Emsella treatment often report life-changing results. One woman said it gave her the freedom to laugh without fear. Another said she could finally sleep through the night without rushing to the bathroom.
For many, it is not just about bladder control. It is about regaining independence, dignity, and confidence.
