Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness are more common than most people realize, and far more treatable than most people know. EmSella pelvic floor therapy at Oyler Chiropractic in Reynoldsburg offers a non-invasive, fully clothed treatment that strengthens the pelvic floor muscles at a level no exercise program can reach on its own.
What Is the Pelvic Floor and Why Does It Matter?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that forms the base of the pelvis. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, and uterus, and they play a direct role in controlling when and how you urinate.
When these muscles weaken, the signals break down. The result can be leaking when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise. It can be a sudden urgent need to find a bathroom. It can be a quiet loss of confidence that affects everyday decisions about where you go and what you do.
Pelvic floor weakness affects both men and women, though it’s particularly common in women after childbirth and through menopause. It’s also common in men following prostate surgery. Most people manage it quietly for years before seeking help, partly because they don’t know effective non-surgical options exist.
How EmSella Works
EmSella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology, known as HIFEM, to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions that are far more powerful than anything you can achieve through voluntary Kegel exercises.
During a session, you sit fully clothed in the EmSella chair. The device generates focused electromagnetic energy that penetrates through clothing and tissue to reach the pelvic floor muscles directly. It then induces what are called supramaximal contractions, which means contractions stronger than your nervous system can voluntarily produce on its own.
A single 28-minute session produces the equivalent of roughly 11,200 Kegel contractions. To be clear, that’s not a marketing exaggeration. That’s the clinical measurement of what the device actually delivers during one treatment.
What Results Do Patients See?
EmSella is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence in both men and women. Clinical studies have shown meaningful improvement in bladder control, reduced leakage episodes, and improved quality of life for patients who complete a full treatment series.
Results patients commonly report include:
- Fewer or eliminated leakage episodes during physical activity, coughing, or sneezing
- Reduced urgency and better bladder control overall
- Improved confidence in daily activities and social situations
- Stronger pelvic floor awareness and muscle tone
- Improved sexual function and sensation for some patients
Results develop gradually over the course of treatment and continue to improve for several weeks after the final session as the muscles adapt and strengthen.
What Does a Session Feel Like?
Most patients describe a gentle tingling or a sense of muscle activity during the session. It’s not painful. There’s no discomfort that would cause most patients to stop.
You remain fully clothed throughout. You sit in the chair, the session runs for about 28 minutes, and you get up and go about your day. There’s no recovery time, no preparation required, and nothing invasive about the process.
Some patients notice a slight muscle fatigue in the pelvic region in the days after treatment, which is a normal response to the level of muscle activity the device produces.
Who Is a Good Candidate for EmSella?
EmSella is appropriate for both men and women experiencing pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence. It tends to work best for patients dealing with:
- Stress urinary incontinence, leaking during physical activity, sneezing, laughing, or coughing
- Urgency incontinence, a sudden strong need to urinate that’s difficult to control
- Mixed incontinence with elements of both stress and urgency
- Pelvic floor weakness following childbirth
- Pelvic floor changes related to menopause
- Post-prostate surgery incontinence in men
- Anyone who has tried Kegel exercises without satisfying results
At Oyler Chiropractic in Reynoldsburg, Dr. Oyler will review your history and symptoms before recommending EmSella to make sure it’s the right fit for what you’re experiencing.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
A standard protocol is six sessions scheduled twice a week over three weeks. Most patients begin noticing improvement within the first few sessions, with more significant results building through the full series and continuing for several weeks after completion.
Maintenance sessions every few months can help sustain results long term, particularly for patients whose pelvic floor weakness has a structural or hormonal component that continues to develop over time.
Why Patients in Reynoldsburg Are Choosing EmSella
For many patients, urinary incontinence has been something they’ve quietly managed with pads, bathroom planning, and avoidance. The idea that a non-surgical, medication-free treatment could meaningfully change that is something a lot of people don’t know is available.
Oyler Chiropractic is one of the few practices in the Reynoldsburg area offering EmSella alongside a full spectrum of chiropractic and regenerative care. If pelvic floor weakness or bladder control is affecting your daily life, it’s worth a conversation.
