Incontinence is an issue that affects millions of people, yet it remains a topic often shrouded in misunderstanding and embarrassment. Many myths persist, causing individuals to avoid seeking the help they need. At Hills Family Health, we are committed to providing clear, supportive information about incontinence and offering cutting-edge solutions like the Emsella Chair to help people regain control of their pelvic health.
In this blog, we’ll dispel five common myths about incontinence and explain how the Emsella Chair treatment can help.
Myth 1: Incontinence Only Affects Older People
One of the most common misconceptions is that incontinence only affects the elderly. While incontinence can become more common with age, it’s by no means exclusive to older individuals. In fact, incontinence can impact people of all ages, including younger adults and even athletes who put excessive strain on their pelvic floor muscles.
At Hills Family Health, we specialise in holistic chiropractic care for the entire family, including treatments for pelvic floor dysfunction in both men and women. The Emsella Chair offers a non-invasive solution to strengthen the pelvic floor, providing relief for people of all ages.
Myth 2: Surgery is the Only Solution for Incontinence
Many believe that surgery is the only way to treat incontinence effectively. While surgery can be an option in severe cases, it’s not the only solution. In fact, non-invasive treatments like the Emsella Chair can offer dramatic improvements without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.
The Emsella Chair uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate pelvic floor muscles, providing thousands of muscle contractions in just one session. This non-surgical treatment option can significantly improve symptoms of urinary incontinence, with many patients seeing noticeable results after just a few sessions.
Myth 3: Incontinence is a Normal Part of Ageing
Although incontinence can become more common with age, it’s not something you simply have to live with. There are effective treatments available to help manage and even eliminate symptoms. The Emsella Chair, offered at Hills Family Health, is a perfect example of a non-invasive, effective treatment that can help older adults regain control over their bladder and pelvic health.
We believe that your body has an innate ability to heal itself, and our holistic approach helps remove the obstacles preventing that natural healing process. Whether you’re facing incontinence as a result of ageing or childbirth, the Emsella Chair is a safe and painless way to strengthen your pelvic floor and restore your quality of life.
Myth 4: Only Women Experience Incontinence
While incontinence is often associated with women—particularly after childbirth—men can also experience pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Conditions such as prostate surgery or overactive bladder can contribute to incontinence in men.
The Emsella Chair at Hills Family Health is beneficial for both men and women. This treatment strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, helping to alleviate incontinence regardless of the underlying cause.
Myth 5: Incontinence Requires Wearing Pads Forever
Many people feel resigned to wearing incontinence pads for the rest of their lives. However, incontinence pads are a temporary solution—they don’t address the root of the problem. With the Emsella Chair, you can reduce your reliance on pads and experience greater freedom in your daily life.
Our clinic offers a confidential and supportive environment where we help you address incontinence with dignity and care. The Emsella Chair provides a comfortable, non-invasive treatment option that works to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, reducing or even eliminating the need for incontinence products over time.
