Bowel Leakage Doesn't Have to Control Your Life.
You Deserve to Feel Confident Again.
Let's be honest...
This isn't something most people feel comfortable talking about.
Maybe you've had a little leakage when passing gas.
Maybe you've rushed to the bathroom and didn't quite make it.
Maybe you've started carrying an extra change of clothes "just in case."
Or maybe you've quietly stopped going out because you're worried about having an accident.
If you're dealing with bowel leakage, you're not alone.
And most importantly...
You don't have to suffer in silence.
At Ascend Chiropractic in Lincoln, Nebraska, we help women and men strengthen the pelvic floor with Emsella®, a completely non-invasive treatment that may improve bowel control by strengthening the muscles that support the rectum, anal sphincter, and pelvic floor.
This Is More Common Than Most People Realize
Bowel leakage, also called fecal incontinence, affects millions of adults.
Yet it's one of the least talked about health concerns.
Many people suffer for years because they're too embarrassed to bring it up—even with their healthcare provider.
The truth is...
There is nothing embarrassing about asking for help.
What Does Bowel Leakage Look Like?
Not everyone experiences complete loss of bowel control.
For many people, it starts with small changes like:
- Leakage when passing gas
- Not making it to the bathroom in time
- Staining in underwear after a bowel movement
- Feeling like you can't completely control your bowels
- Avoiding certain foods or outings because of worry
- Feeling anxious whenever you're away from home
Even occasional accidents can have a huge impact on confidence and quality of life.
Why Does It Happen?
Healthy bowel control depends on strong pelvic floor muscles, healthy nerves, and a properly functioning anal sphincter.
When those muscles become weaker, bowel control can become more difficult.
Common causes include:
- Childbirth
- Pelvic floor weakness
- Aging
- Menopause
- Chronic constipation
- Long-term straining
- Pelvic surgery
- Rectal surgery
- Nerve injury
- Diabetes
- Spinal cord conditions
Sometimes more than one factor contributes.
That's why it's important to identify what's causing your symptoms.
You're Not "Broken."
One thing we want every patient to know:
This is not your fault.
Pelvic floor muscles can weaken over time just like the muscles in your legs, shoulders, or back.
The difference is...
Nobody ever teaches us how to strengthen them.
For many people, that's where Emsella comes in.
How Emsella Helps
Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology to stimulate thousands of powerful pelvic floor muscle contractions during each comfortable 28-minute treatment.
These contractions help strengthen the muscles that support:
- The pelvic floor
- The anal sphincter
- Bladder control
- Bowel control
- Core stability
As these muscles become stronger and better coordinated, many patients experience improved bowel control and greater confidence in everyday life.
Treatment is:
✓ Completely non-invasive
✓ Fully clothed
✓ Comfortable
✓ No surgery
✓ No downtime
Simply sit comfortably while the technology does the work.
Imagine Living Without Constant Worry
Imagine...
❤️ Going to dinner without worrying about finding the restroom.
❤️ Taking a road trip with confidence.
❤️ Going for walks again.
❤️ Playing with your grandchildren.
❤️ Leaving the house without carrying "just in case" supplies.
❤️ Feeling comfortable saying "yes" to invitations again.
Sometimes improving bowel control means getting your life back.
Is Emsella Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
✓ Experience accidental bowel leakage.
✓ Leak stool when passing gas.
✓ Have difficulty making it to the restroom in time.
✓ Notice staining after bowel movements.
✓ Feel your pelvic floor has weakened after childbirth or with age.
✓ Want a non-surgical treatment option.
During your consultation, we'll determine whether pelvic floor weakness may be contributing to your symptoms and whether Emsella is appropriate for you.
Because You Shouldn't Have to Plan Your Life Around Worry.
We know bowel leakage can feel isolating.
Many people quietly change their lifestyle without realizing there may be treatment options available.
At Ascend Chiropractic, we provide a private, respectful environment where you can talk openly about what's been happening and learn whether strengthening your pelvic floor may help.
You deserve to feel confident leaving the house again.
Questions We Hear Every Day
We completely understand why you might feel that way—but we promise you're not alone. Bowel leakage is much more common than most people realize, and we have these conversations every day. Our goal is simply to help you feel comfortable and supported.
No.
Emsella treatments are performed while you're fully clothed.
Simply sit comfortably in the chair while the treatment strengthens your pelvic floor.
For many people, yes. The pelvic floor muscles help support both bladder and bowel control. If muscle weakness is contributing to your symptoms, strengthening those muscles may improve control and confidence.
No. Most patients describe feeling rhythmic muscle contractions during treatment. The sensation is unusual at first but shouldn't be painful, and there is no recovery time afterward.
Not at all.
Many of our patients have quietly lived with bowel leakage for years before seeking help. If pelvic floor weakness is contributing to your symptoms, it's never too late to find out whether strengthening those muscles may help improve your quality of life.
