Are you embarrassed by a leaking bladder?

Urinary incontinence is the unintentional passing of urine. It’s a common problem thought to affect millions of people. 

 

There are several types of urinary incontinence, including: 

 

stress incontinence – when urine leaks out at times when your bladder is under pressure; for example, when you cough or laugh 

urge incontinence – when urine leaks as you feel a sudden, intense urge to pass urine, or soon afterwards 

overflow incontinence (chronic urinary retention) – when you’re unable to fully empty your bladder, which causes frequent leaking 

total incontinence – when your bladder can’t store any urine at all, which causes you to pass urine constantly or have frequent leaking 

It’s also possible to have a mixture of both stress and urge urinary incontinence. 

 

 

Stress incontinence is usually the result of the weakening of or damage to the muscles used to prevent urination, such as the pelvic floor muscles and the urethral sphincter. 

 

Urge incontinence is usually the result of overactivity of the detrusor muscles, which control the bladder. 

 

Overflow incontinence is often caused by an obstruction or blockage to your bladder, which prevents it emptying fully. 

 

Total incontinence may be caused by a problem with the bladder from birth, a spinal injury, or a bladder fistula. 

 

Certain things can increase the chances of urinary incontinence developing, including: 

 

pregnancy and vaginal birth 

obesity 

a family history of incontinence 

increasing age – although incontinence is not an inevitable part of ageing

The therapist who trained in America met nurses who work in hospitals and treat urinary incontinence, alongside other bladder conditions. Because the bladder is a muscle they use electro Myopulse technology to treat this condition. It is none invasive, unlike electrical stimulation treatments offered on the NHS. We use probes to deliver the tiny pulses of electrical current on the outer surfaces of the skin & can achieve amazing results.

Overview of Healing with micro-current 

 

Using our technology we treat the area affected for just under an hour. 

 

Pain, inflammation and muscle spasms often result when muscles, ligaments or tendons are injured. The circulation in the injured areas is effected adversely. There is an accumulation of lactic acid and other waste products in the tissues. This slows the healing process. 

 

The Acuscope and Myopulse simultaneously measure and balance the abnormal electrical resistance in injured tissue. The electrical conductance of the injured tissue is examined and compared to a preprogrammed parameters for healthy tissue. When electrical conductance is outside the normal, healthy range, the instruments change the wave form, frequency, intensity and polarity to restore the tissue integrity to promote healing. 

 

The Myopulse eliminates inflammation; the Acuscope promotes healing in joints to promote the growth of cartilage and synovial fluids. 

 

There is little or no sensation because micro-current energy is similar to the energy inside the body. Micro-currents are one-millionth the strength of household current. They are compatible with the body’s bio electrical communication system and support the self-healing feedback mechanism already present at the cellular level. The effects of micro-currents on the healing process has been documented in the scientific literature for many years. 

 

When this energy is introduced into the cells, circulation, lymphatic drainage, waste product removal, cellular metabolism improve. The flow of other forms of biological energy similar to chi or vital force is accelerated. Acidic waste products are flushed from the tissues and the body’s healing powers are accentuated. This results in an accelerated healing response at the cellular level, leading to reduction of pain and improved function.
