Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor
Understanding Incontinence
Pelvic floor muscles quietly weaken over time from aging, childbirth, surgery, or repetitive strain. The effects show up in everyday moments: a laugh that causes leakage, an urgent dash to the restroom during meetings, or avoiding the gym because jumping feels risky. Many patients limit social activities, skip exercise, and lose sleep to nighttime bathroom trips. These changes affect both men and women, yet most suffer in silence because the topic feels too personal to discuss.
Emsella offers a non-invasive solution that addresses pelvic floor weakness at its source. By delivering approximately 11,200 supramaximal contractions per 28-minute session, the treatment strengthens the entire pelvic floor muscle group far beyond what voluntary exercises can achieve. Patients remain fully clothed throughout, require zero downtime, and typically notice improved bladder control within two to three weeks. The technology treats stress, urge, and mixed incontinence while also improving intimate wellness and core stability.
The Science of HIFEM Technology
Emsella is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared pelvic floor therapy that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to strengthen weakened muscles. The treatment targets deep pelvic floor muscles through thousands of supramaximal contractions per session, treating urinary incontinence, improving intimate wellness, and enhancing core stability without requiring patients to undress or experience any downtime.
Emsella utilizes HIFEM technology to create deep muscle stimulation. The electromagnetic field penetrates tissue and induces supramaximal contractions, which are involuntary contractions that exceed what voluntary effort can produce. Each 28-minute session delivers approximately 11,200 of these contractions, reaching 100% muscle fiber activation compared to roughly 50% during conscious Kegel exercises. This triggers rapid muscle fiber strengthening and neuromuscular re-education, retraining the nerve pathways that control bladder function.

Finding Your Best Treatment
Emsella works best for adults experiencing pelvic floor weakness regardless of the underlying cause. The treatment benefits both men and women seeking non-surgical improvement.
Your first visit is a clinical conversation with Dr. Mik. He moves beyond a simple symptom checklist to understand how pelvic floor issues are impacting your life, reviewing your health history and functional goals to determine if Emsella is the right clinical tool for you.
Here, Dr. Mik assesses the stability of your pelvis and core, connecting your symptoms to your body's overall mechanics. This clinical evaluation ensures the Emsella protocol is targeted correctly from day one. No physical examination is required, and you remain fully clothed.
Based on his assessment, Dr. Mik develops a precise protocol that specifies the intensity, duration, and frequency of sessions. The plan is designed not just to treat incontinence but to restore the pelvic floor’s critical role in core stabilization.
During your 28-minute sessions, you will sit comfortably on the Emsella chair while it delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions. Dr. Mik’s specialized training in electromagnetic therapy ensures the device is calibrated to produce the optimal therapeutic effect for your condition.
We monitor your progress by tracking both symptom improvement and objective gains in functional strength. These check-ins allow Dr. Mik to fine-tune your protocol and ensure you are on the fastest path to achieving your goals.
Once the initial treatment series is complete, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to help you maintain the strength of your pelvic floor muscles and preserve the results long-term.
What to Know
Common side effects of Emsella include mild muscle soreness in the pelvic area, which typically resolves within 24 hours post-treatment. Some patients experience temporary muscle fatigue similar to post-exercise sensations. Rare but potential effects include temporary muscle spasms or increased urinary frequency immediately following sessions, occurring in a small percentage of patients.Emsella typically ranges from $200 to $300 per session in Rockford, depending on treatment packages and individual needs. Most patients complete six sessions over three weeks for optimal results. During your consultation, we will provide an exact quote tailored to your specific treatment plan.

The treatment feels like intense, rhythmic pelvic floor contractions but should not be painful. Most patients describe the sensation as unusual initially but comfortable once they adjust to the electromagnetic stimulation. Intensity levels are adjustable throughout the session.
Yes, Emsella works well alongside other therapies. We often recommend combining treatments for comprehensive wellness improvement. Our Emsculpt Neo service complements Emsella for patients seeking both core strengthening and body contouring results.
Results typically last six to 12 months with proper maintenance. We recommend periodic touch-up sessions every six to eight months and incorporating daily Kegel exercises to sustain muscle strength between treatments.
Most insurance plans do not cover Emsella for cosmetic intimate wellness. Some may provide coverage for medical incontinence treatment with proper documentation. We provide detailed treatment records for insurance submission and offer flexible financing through Cherry.
Emsella provides passive muscle strengthening through 11,200 contractions per session without requiring patient effort or compliance with home exercises. Traditional therapy requires active participation and consistent daily practice, which many patients find difficult to maintain long-term.
