Experience relief from the symptoms of an overactive bladder with our Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) therapy at Gerka Clinic. This non-invasive treatment offers a significant improvement in bladder control and daily comfort without the need for medication or surgery.
Understanding Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder is characterized by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate, frequent urination, and, in some cases, urinary incontinence. These symptoms can disrupt your daily life and affect your overall quality of life. PTNS offers a promising solution by modulating nerve activity involved in bladder control.
How Does Tibial Nerve Stimulation Work?
Tibial nerve stimulation targets the posterior tibial nerve through carefully placed electrodes near your ankle. This nerve plays a critical role in signalling bladder control to your brain. By stimulating this nerve, PTNS helps restore normal bladder function and reduces the urgency and frequency of urination.
The Procedure
- Initial Setup: A small, slim needle electrode is inserted near the ankle, where the tibial nerve is located.
- Stimulation: Mild electrical impulses are sent through the electrode to stimulate the nerve, influencing the neural pathways responsible for bladder control.
- Comfort: The intensity of the stimulation is adjusted to ensure comfort throughout the session.
Benefits of Tibial Nerve Stimulation:
- Effective Relief: Reduces symptoms of overactive bladder, including frequency and urgency of urination.
- Non-Surgical: Offers a non-invasive alternative to more invasive treatments.
- Quick Sessions: Each session is completed in just 30 minutes, making it a convenient option even for busy schedules.
What to Expect:
During each session, you may feel a mild tingling sensation in your foot, ankle, or toe, which indicates that the nerve is being activated correctly. There is no significant pain or discomfort associated with the treatment.
Effectiveness and Safety:
- Effective Relief: Reduces symptoms of overactive bladder, including frequency and urgency of urination.
- Non-Surgical: Offers a non-invasive alternative to more invasive treatments.
- Quick Sessions: Each session is completed in just 30 minutes, making it a convenient option even for busy schedules.
