ABOUT
FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
Functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) is a new and effective treatment for various forms of incontinence and other disorders related to the pelvic floor such as fecal incontinence, incontinence after childbirth and sexual dysfunction.
FMS is based on the effect of generating a current in the nerve tracts through an externally applied strong magnetic field. This stimulates the muscles supplied by these nerve tracts to contract. The result is intensive training of the pelvic floor muscles.
FMS is an excellent alternative to conventional electrical stimulation. The treatment is absolutely painless, no electrodes have to be attached and there is no loss of energy through body resistance, as the current is induced directly inside the body and not applied externally.
The FMS treatment strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. Consistent treatment leads to a long-lasting, satisfactory effect. The patients do not have to take off any clothing; the treatment is carried out very comfortably on a treatment chair.
Indications
- Stress incontinence
- Urge incontinence
- Mixed incontinence
- Fecal incontinence
- Rehabilitation after childbirth
- Incontinence after prostatectomy
- Chronic prostatitis
- Sexual dysfunction
Treatment
The treatment is very simple and does not require any special preparation.
• The patients sit in a treatment chair and should try during the impulses to tense the pelvic floor muscles at will.
• The therapy is painless and does not lead to any undesirable effects
• In most cases, a significant improvement can be seen after just a few sessions.
