Take Back Control of Your Life
They are symptoms many people have a hard time discussing with their healthcare provider, yet they impact the lives of millions of adults, everyday. People who suffer from overactive bladder (OAB), including urinary urgency incontinence, bowel incontinence and urinary retention, spend their days and nights rushing to the bathroom, and coping with embarrassing bladder and bowel leaks.
Where medications, lifestyle changes and physical therapy have failed, people can now turn to a new form of therapy offered through West Michigan Pain at West Michigan Surgery Center.
Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy
Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy (SNM), also known as sacral nerve stimulation, involves implantation of an electrical stimulator that sends mild electrical signals to the sacral nerve just above the tailbone. Those electrical pulses help alter or “control” the signals the sacral nerve sends the brain, reducing bowel and bladder control problems.
West Michigan Pain is pleased to offer Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy through Axonics®. The Axonics® System offers the following benefits:
