Tired of the Tinkle: New Hope for Solving Urinary Incontinence
Jan 31, 2025 12:00AM ● By Natural Awakenings Milwaukee
Do you or someone you know limit their activities, stop attending social events or avoid exercise due to fear of urinary accidents? Search results show over 13 million people in the U.S. suffer from incontinence.
A 2022 study found that over half of all adult women in the U.S. experience urinary incontinence, and 1 in 5 experience moderate or severe incontinence. Approximately 30 percent of women over 20 experience incontinence, and twice that amount by women in their 70s or older. In men, the prevalence is much lower than in women: about 3 to 11 percent overall, with urge incontinence accounting for 40 to 80 percent of males, according to NYU School of Medicine research.
While older age increases the risk of incontinence, a range of factors can cause this condition in younger people. The pelvic floor is a set of muscles that span the bottom of the pelvis and provide support for the bladder, bowel and core. For women, the pelvic floor supports the uterus and contributes to sensation and sexual function. In men, these muscles link with erectile function and pleasure. Regardless of age or reason, the pelvic floor is affected by illness and diminishing strength.
Today, there are new technologies that are safe and non-invasive to help incontinence. Therapeutic use of vibrational frequency and Hi-EMT (Hi-ElectroMagnetic Therapy) works to strengthen and tone muscle, increase collagen and provide physiological stability that is necessary to support the functions of the urinary and reproductive systems. These new technologies include the VibraGenix Elite Vibrational Frequency Treatment and the VibraGenix Magslim Hi-EM Treatment.

Their primary focus for each and every client is to find the root cause and provide integrative and functional approaches to resolving health issues. Their professional staff are discreet and caring.
