Emsella - Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Therapy- Lamkin Clinic

Regain bladder control and pelvic floor strength without surgery, medication, or downtime. FDA-cleared breakthrough technology that’s changing lives across Oklahoma. Stop Planning Your Life Around Bathrooms!

What is Emsella?

Emsella is a breakthrough, FDA-cleared treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness that’s transforming lives at The Lamkin Clinic in Oklahoma. This innovative technology offers hope to the millions of women and men who suffer from bladder control issues, providing a solution that doesn’t require surgery, medication, or invasive procedures.

Think of Emsella as physical therapy for your pelvic floor except you remain fully clothed and comfortably seated while the technology does the work for you. During a single 28-minute session, you’ll sit on the specialized Emsella chair, which uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles with thousands of supramaximal contractions. These contractions are far more intense than what you could achieve through voluntary Kegel exercises, leading to dramatic improvements in muscle tone and bladder control.

Understanding Urinary Incontinence: You're Not Alone

Urinary incontinence affects over 25 million Americans, with women twice as likely to experience this condition as men. Despite how common it is, many people suffer in silence due to embarrassment, believing it’s just a normal part of aging or an inevitable consequence of childbirth. The truth is that urinary incontinence is a treatable medical condition, not something you simply have to accept.

Incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles the network of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum become weakened or damaged. When these muscles can’t contract effectively, you lose the ability to control your bladder properly, leading to involuntary urine leakage.

Common Types of Urinary Incontinence Treated with Emsella:

Stress Incontinence: Leakage that occurs when pressure is placed on the bladder during activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting heavy objects. This is the most common type, particularly affecting women after childbirth or menopause.

Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage. Often called “overactive bladder,” this type may cause you to urinate frequently, including waking multiple times during the night.

Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence symptoms, where you experience leakage both with physical activity and sudden urges.

Postpartum Incontinence: Bladder control issues following pregnancy and childbirth, caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles and stretched tissues from vaginal delivery.

Who Benefits from Emsella Treatment?

Postpartum Women

Pregnancy and vaginal delivery stretch and weaken pelvic floor muscles. Emsella helps new mothers regain bladder control and restore pelvic floor strength without the time commitment of traditional pelvic floor therapy. Many women see improvement even years after giving birth.

Menopausal and Postmenopausal Women

Declining estrogen levels during menopause lead to tissue thinning and muscle weakness in the pelvic area. Emsella strengthens these muscles, helping you maintain bladder control and sexual function as you age.

Active Adults and Athletes

Runners, CrossFit enthusiasts, and athletes often experience stress incontinence during high-impact activities. Emsella builds the pelvic floor strength needed to continue your active lifestyle without embarrassing leakage.

Men with Prostate Issues

Men who’ve undergone prostate surgery or radiation often experience incontinence. Emsella strengthens the male pelvic floor, improving bladder control and quality of life post-treatment.

Anyone Struggling with Overactive Bladder

If you’re constantly searching for bathrooms, limiting fluids before leaving home, or experiencing sudden, urgent needs to urinate, Emsella can help retrain your pelvic floor and improve bladder control.

Those Seeking Prevention

Even if you don’t currently have incontinence, Emsella serves as preventative care, strengthening pelvic floor muscles before problems develop particularly beneficial for women planning future pregnancies.

Life-Changing Benefits Beyond Bladder Control

While restoring bladder control is Emsella’s primary benefit, patients at The Lamkin Clinic consistently report improvements across multiple aspects of their lives:

Restored Confidence and Freedom: Stop planning your life around bathroom locations. Return to activities you’ve been avoiding long car trips, exercise classes, social events, and more without fear of embarrassing leakage.

Improved Intimate Health: Many patients experience enhanced sexual satisfaction due to improved pelvic floor muscle tone, increased sensation, and renewed confidence. Stronger pelvic muscles can lead to better orgasms and improved intimacy with your partner.

Better Quality of Sleep: Reduced nighttime bathroom trips mean better, more restorative sleep, leading to improved energy, mood, and overall health.

Cost Savings: Eliminate or significantly reduce spending on incontinence pads, protective underwear, and related products that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars annually.

Enhanced Physical Activity: Return to running, jumping, dancing, or any activity you love without worrying about leakage. Stronger pelvic floor muscles also improve core stability and reduce lower back pain.

Improved Mental Health: Breaking free from the anxiety, embarrassment, and social isolation that incontinence causes leads to better emotional wellbeing and restored self-esteem.

Proactive Pelvic Health: Stronger pelvic floor muscles provide better support for pelvic organs, potentially preventing pelvic organ prolapse and other complications that may require surgery.

How Emsella Works: The Science of Pelvic Floor Restoration

Emsella uses advanced High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles in ways that voluntary exercises simply cannot achieve. During a single 28-minute session, the Emsella chair delivers approximately 11,200 supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions.

To put this in perspective, imagine trying to do 11,200 perfect Kegel exercises in half an hour. It’s physiologically impossible. Even the most dedicated person performing Kegels throughout the day would struggle to achieve even a fraction of this number, and most people don’t perform Kegels correctly anyway.

These supramaximal contractions reach muscle depths and intensities that voluntary contractions cannot, triggering muscle remodeling and strengthening at the cellular level. The electromagnetic energy penetrates through clothing and tissue to target the entire pelvic floor, including muscles you cannot consciously control. This comprehensive stimulation leads to:

Muscle Rebuilding (Hypertrophy): The intense contractions cause muscle fibers to thicken and strengthen, similar to how weight training builds muscle throughout your body.

Neuromuscular Re-education: Emsella restores the neural pathways between your brain and pelvic floor muscles, improving your ability to engage these muscles effectively when you need them.

Enhanced Muscle Tone and Endurance: Regular treatments improve both the strength and endurance of pelvic floor muscles, so they can maintain proper support throughout your daily activities.

Improved Tissue Health: The electromagnetic stimulation increases blood flow to the pelvic region, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues and supporting overall pelvic health.

What to Expect: Your Emsella Treatment Journey

The Treatment Experience

Emsella treatments are remarkably simple and comfortable. You remain fully clothed and simply sit on the specialized Emsella chair, which resembles a comfortable, high-backed chair. Once the treatment begins, you’ll feel deep pelvic floor muscle contractions a pulling and tingling sensation that’s unusual but not painful. Most patients describe it as feeling similar to doing rapid Kegels, but much more intense.

You can read, work on your phone, or simply relax during the 28-minute session. There’s no preparation required before treatment, and no recovery time needed afterward. You can return immediately to all normal activities, including work, exercise, and driving.

Treatment Protocol

The standard protocol consists of six treatments scheduled twice per week over three weeks. This concentrated treatment schedule maximizes the muscle-building response and delivers optimal results. Some patients with more severe symptoms may benefit from additional sessions.

When Will You See Results?

Many patients notice improvement after just 2-3 treatments, with progressive enhancement continuing throughout the treatment series and for several weeks afterward. Most patients achieve maximum results approximately 2-4 weeks after completing their full treatment series. Clinical studies show that results can last six months or longer, with maintenance treatments helping to preserve and extend benefits.

Emsella vs. Alternative Treatments

Compared to Kegel Exercises

While Kegel exercises can help mild incontinence when performed correctly and consistently, most people don’t do them properly or frequently enough to see significant results. Studies show that up to 50% of women perform Kegels incorrectly even after instruction. Emsella delivers thousands of perfect contractions in every session, reaching muscle depths that voluntary exercises cannot access.

Compared to Traditional Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is effective but requires significant time commitment, often involving weekly appointments over several months, plus daily home exercises. Emsella provides comparable or superior results in just six sessions over three weeks, with no homework required. Both approaches can also be combined for patients with complex pelvic floor dysfunction.

Compared to Medications

Medications for overactive bladder often cause side effects like dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and cognitive impairment, particularly in older adults. They treat symptoms without addressing the underlying muscle weakness. Emsella strengthens the actual cause of the problem with no medication side effects.

Compared to Surgery

Surgical options like bladder slings, urethral bulking, or bladder neck suspension are invasive, carry surgical risks, require significant recovery time, and may have complications. Emsella is completely non-invasive, requires no anesthesia or downtime, and carries virtually no risk. Many patients who are not candidates for surgery or wish to avoid it find excellent results with Emsella.

Compared to Radiofrequency or Laser Treatments

Vaginal radiofrequency and laser treatments work on surface tissues but don’t strengthen the deep pelvic floor muscles that control bladder function. Emsella specifically targets and rebuilds these crucial muscles, addressing the root cause of incontinence rather than just superficial tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emsella

Is Emsella treatment painful or uncomfortable?

Emsella is not painful. You’ll feel intense pelvic floor muscle contractions that can feel strange initially since you’re not used to sensing these muscles contract so powerfully. Most patients adapt quickly and find treatments comfortable. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level throughout the session.

Do I need to undress for Emsella treatments?

No. You remain fully clothed during the entire treatment, sitting comfortably on the Emsella chair. This makes Emsella far less invasive and more comfortable than internal pelvic floor therapy or examination-based treatments.

How soon will I see results from Emsella?

Many patients notice improvement after just 2-3 sessions, often reporting fewer accidents and better bladder control. Results continue improving throughout your treatment series and for several weeks after completion. Maximum benefit typically appears 2-4 weeks after your final treatment.

How long do Emsella results last?

Clinical studies show results lasting six months or longer after a complete treatment series. However, like any muscle training, maintenance is important. Many patients schedule maintenance sessions every 3-6 months to preserve their results. Your pelvic floor health also depends on factors like weight management, avoiding heavy lifting with poor form, and maintaining overall fitness.

Can men benefit from Emsella?

Absolutely. Men experience incontinence too, particularly after prostate surgery or as they age. Emsella effectively strengthens the male pelvic floor, improving bladder control and potentially enhancing erectile function. Approximately 20-30% of Emsella patients are men.

Will my insurance cover Emsella treatment?

Most insurance plans do not currently cover Emsella as it’s considered an elective treatment. However, The Lamkin Clinic operates on a cash-based model and offers transparent pricing. When you consider the ongoing costs of incontinence products, medications, or potential surgery, many patients find Emsella to be cost-effective. We also offer package pricing and payment plans.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Emsella has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects. Some patients experience temporary muscle soreness similar to after an intense workout, which typically resolves within a day. There’s no downtime, no risk of infection, and no surgical complications.

Who should not get Emsella treatment?

Emsella is not suitable for women who are pregnant, people with electronic implants (pacemakers, defibrillators, drug pumps), those with metal IUDs or implants in the pelvic area, or individuals with certain medical conditions. A thorough consultation will determine if you’re a candidate.

Can Emsella help with sexual dysfunction?

Yes. Many patients report improved sexual satisfaction, increased sensation, and better orgasms after Emsella treatment. Stronger pelvic floor muscles enhance sexual function for both women and men. For men, improved pelvic floor strength can contribute to better erectile function and ejaculatory control.

Is Emsella effective for severe incontinence?

Emsella works best for mild to moderate incontinence. For severe cases, Emsella may still provide improvement but might need to be combined with other therapies or interventions. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective treatment approach.

Can I do Emsella if I’ve had pelvic surgery?

In most cases, yes. Emsella is often beneficial after hysterectomy, bladder surgery, or other pelvic procedures. However, you should wait until you’re fully healed, typically 3-6 months post-surgery. We’ll review your surgical history during consultation to ensure Emsella is safe and appropriate for you.

How does Emsella compare to home pelvic floor devices?

Home devices use much lower intensity electromagnetic or electrical stimulation and require consistent use to see modest results. Emsella delivers significantly more powerful, deeper muscle stimulation in a clinical setting, producing superior results in less time. Think of it as the difference between home workout equipment and professional gym training.
