When you’re going about your day, you don’t want to be worried about whether you’ll be able to perform in the bedroom or make it to the bathroom on time.
A weak pelvic floor can cause a variety of conditions, like urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction. These affect the lives of many Americans, and there’s no need to be embarrassed. There is a solution.—in fact, there are several.
At Mid-Florida Age Management, we want to help people feel more comfortable and confident throughout their daily lives.
So if you’re looking for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala, come meet with our experts. We have a variety of treatments that can provide you with the results you’re looking for.
What is your pelvic floor?
Your pelvic floor is the group of muscles that stretch across the bottom of your pelvis and support some internal organs, like your bladder, bowel, and reproductive system.
What does pelvic floor therapy treat?
Pelvic floor therapy can treat a number of different conditions. A weak pelvic floor may cause symptoms like:
- Vaginal laxity
- Vaginal dryness
- Poor libido
- Urinary incontinence
- Frequent and urgent urination
- Constipation
- Pelvic pain
If any of these conditions have caused problems in your daily life, reach out to our team about pelvic floor therapy.
Pelvic Floor Treatments
Not every option for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala will be right for every patient, so we offer a variety of different treatments for your intimate wellness concerns. Want to learn more? Let’s take a closer look at our treatment options.
Emsella
Our first treatment option for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala is the Emsella device. With a completely unique therapy form, the Emsella is a chair! To receive treatment from this device, you simply need to sit on it.
As a patient sits on the Emsella machine, it stimulates the treatment area with electromagnetic energy, causing muscle contractions in the pelvic floor. When we contract our muscles, we strengthen them—think of these muscle contractions as countless Kegel exercises.
The Emsella actually has 2 different treatment settings, so it can treat urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction, depending on your needs. Your provider can talk with you about which protocol would work best for you.
You may need a series of around 6 Emsella treatments to see the results you’re looking for, but don’t worry—these treatment sessions don’t take long.
On average, you can expect a single Emsella session to last about 30 minutes, so you can even schedule your appointment over a lunch break from work. And with no downtime and results that can last over a year, Emsella is many patients’ preferred choice for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala.
Emfemme
The Emfemme is another popular treatment for women looking to treat their urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction. Many patients choose the Emfemme to strengthen their vaginal walls because it’s non-invasive and gentle.
Providers deliver this treatment with the help of a special, wand-like applicator. The Emfemme wand treats vaginal tissue with radiofrequency energy emitted 360° around the tip. Not only does this increase blood flow to the treatment area, it also stimulates additional collagen production.
Collagen is an important healing protein the body uses to build healthy and structured tissue. When new collagen forms in the treatment area, it can repair and strengthen damaged tissue in the pelvic floor and the vaginal walls.
The Emfemme only takes 10 to 15 minutes per treatment session, and many patients need just 3 to 4 sessions to see results. There’s no downtime, either, so you can continue your day as normal following your treatment session.
The Emfemme can provide relief from urinary incontinence by strengthening the vaginal walls to better support the bladder.
It also treats sexual dysfunction by boosting vaginal tightness, increasing lubrication, improving pH, and reducing pain, so you can experience better sex. The Emfemme can help anyone struggling with multiple intimate wellness concerns.
O-Shot®
The next choice you have for pelvic floor support and sexual health is the O-Shot®. The “O” in the O-Shot® actually stands for “orgasm,” because this treatment can help women struggling with intimate wellness concerns. But it’s not just about helping patients experience better sex—the O-Shot® can also help treat stress urinary incontinence.
The O-Shot® works with the help of PRP, or “platelet-rich plasma.” PRP is a natural substance that’s part of your blood, and it can help the body repair aged or damaged tissue.
When you come in for your appointment, we’ll draw some blood and place it in a centrifuge. As the centrifuge spins, the PRP will naturally separate from the rest of the blood sample. We then extract the PRP with a syringe and inject specific areas. Then, the PRP will heal your vaginal tissue, enhancing sexual function and increasing support and bladder control.
This whole process takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, and many patients only need one O-Shot® treatment. There’s also no downtime, so you can return to your daily schedule as usual following your treatment. This is a truly convenient option for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala.
Gainswave for Her
The Gainswave for Her (also known as the FemiWave) is your last option for pelvic floor therapy at Mid-Florida Age Management. This treatment works by increasing blood flow to the treatment area.
The Gainswave platform uses low-intensity shockwave therapy, a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment method, so you won’t have to worry about a long recovery time following your session.
As the Gainswave for Her increases blood flow to the treatment area, it strengthens the muscles around the pelvic floor, treating your urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction at the source.
The low-intensity shockwaves also increase collagen production in the treatment area for increased muscle strength around the urethra. This minimizes the risk of accidental leakage as you go about your day.
One reason patients enjoy treatment with the Gainswave for Her is that the device causes minimal discomfort, so you don’t need to experience significant irritation to strengthen your pelvic floor.
This device also requires minimal to no downtime. After your Gainswave appointment, you can return to your typical daily schedule. You may need anywhere from 6 to 12 treatment sessions, depending on your initial condition. Your provider can advise you on the correct protocol and expectations for your treatment series.
Finding Your Perfect Treatment
If you think you could benefit from one of our treatments for pelvic floor therapy in Ocala, but you’re unsure which is right for you, come meet with our team. We will evaluate your unique anatomy, timeline, goals, budget, and more to create an individual care plan.
Most often, we recommend a patient start by pairing the Emsella and Emfemme for best results. If they still don’t experience the results they’re seeking, or if they have different goals, patients can also pair the O-Shot® and the Gainswave for Her.
We’ll discuss your best treatment options during your initial consultation.
During this conversation, you’ll have the chance to ask some questions of your own as well, so don’t hesitate to share any concerns with our providers. This helps us collaborate with you, so you can make the best decisions for your health.
What Makes Our Process Different
When we started Mid-Florida Age Management, we knew we didn’t want to build a clinic like all the rest. Finding the time to come to the doctor is hard enough, but many other providers and clinics don’t reward a patient’s trust with personalized care.
It’s easy to feel like you’re just another patient on a doctor’s busy schedule, and we wanted to do things differently.
After you walk through our doors, you’ll meet with a team of medical professionals who want to build a personal relationship with you. If we understand you on a deeper level, we can find the best treatment to fit your individual needs.
