The Advanced Journey To Success
Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes include diet, fluid, stress, sleep, exercise modification and weight loss. When lifestyle changes don't help in a meaningful way, it's time to consider medications.
Medications
Medications are second line therapy and are tried first before proceeding to a permanent solution. If you have already failed medicines, we can proceed straight to an advanced treatment.
Advanced Therapies
Bladder Control Therapy delivered by the InterStim™ systems and advanced Botox® injections are two great options when conservative treatments don't give you the relief you want. Read more below.
