Shocking Treatments to Pelvic Health

One in four women over the age of 18 experience an episode of urinary incontinence.  So why aren’t the clinics flooded with women addressing this issue? For most women they assume it is a common part of aging. Some of the other reasons are shame, embarrassment, and not wanting another person up in their business. 

There are many ways to treat and aid in incontinence especially with stress and urge incontinence. These can be through education, training, internal insertion of a sensor for biofeedback.  But what if these don’t work?  

Elitone may be the answer for you. It is the one FDA- cleared external solution that tone your pelvic floor and calm your overactive bladder.  One of the key words is EXTERNAL. 

Neuromuscular stimulation has been used for many years to treat incontinence. A small electrical signal is sent to the bladder or pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract or relax in much the same way your nervous system uses electrical signals to control bladder function.

Before Elitone, this neuromuscular stimulation treatment was primarily delivered through a vaginal probe, which some women found uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Elitone and Elitone URGE work directly on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles to safely and effectively improve bladder control. Because they are completely external, you can spend your time and energy on other things during treatment.

When talking about muscle strength it is one of those things that if you don’t use it you lose it. Elitone is an at home device that whenever you need a tune up, you can complete in the privacy of your own home. Also, with this item, busy women can work on their pelvic floor while going about their day-to-day activities and no one will know.
