Special to IFN

Piedmont HealthCare Pelvic Health Center, a dual-specialty clinic housing the Women’s Center and Piedmont Urology, is now offering Emsella, an innovative, non-invasive treatment that strengthens pelvic floor muscles and improves pelvic health.

“We’re truly thrilled to offer this non-invasive service to our community,” shared Dr. Mary Torres, a board-certified gynecologist. “So many people face issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, and changes in sexual health, whether due to aging, hormone changes, or life events like childbirth. With Emsella, patients now have a comfortable, surgery-free option to take back control of their pelvic health.”

Understanding the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that form a sling across the base of the pelvis. These muscles support essential organs such as the bladder, bowel, and—for women—the uterus, helping to control bodily functions and maintain core stability. Over time, pelvic floor muscles can weaken due to factors such as childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, and even lifestyle factors like prolonged sitting or heavy lifting. Weakness in the pelvic floor can lead to issues such as urinary incontinence, discomfort during physical activity, and decreased sexual function.

What is Emsella?

Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to deliver a powerful yet gentle solution for urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, and sexual health issues in both men and women. In a single 30-minute session, patients experience the equivalent of thousands of pelvic floor contractions. The procedure is painless, and patients are fully clothed, making it an easy alternative to traditional treatments.

Emsella is well-suited for:
• Women with postpartum pelvic floor weakness;
• Older adults experiencing stress or urge incontinence; and
• Individuals looking to enhance pelvic health and sexual function

“We’re proud to bring this cutting-edge technology to both our male and female patients,” said Dr. Tao Cui, a board-certified urologist. “With Emsella, we’re excited to offer a solution that meets the needs of anyone looking to regain strength and control without surgery or medication. This breakthrough is a significant step forward in pelvic health, and we’re thrilled to make it accessible to all who need it.”

Emsella requires no downtime and is typically completed over several sessions for optimal results.
