Feel Supported Again.
If it feels like something is "falling out," you're not alone—and you have options.
Maybe you've noticed a feeling of pressure.
Maybe it feels like you're sitting on a golf ball.
Maybe you've actually felt or seen a bulge.
Or maybe you've found yourself Googling:
"What does prolapse feel like?"
"Can prolapse heal without surgery?"
"Bladder prolapse after menopause."
"Prolapse after hysterectomy."
If that's you...
We're glad you're here.
Pelvic organ prolapse is incredibly common, especially after childbirth and menopause—but it's one of those things women rarely talk about.
The encouraging news?
Many women experience significant improvement by strengthening the muscles that support the pelvic organs.
At Ascend Chiropractic in Lincoln, Nebraska, we use Emsella® to strengthen the pelvic floor, helping many women feel stronger, more supported, and more confident—without surgery or downtime.
Most Women Are Surprised By This...
Pelvic organ prolapse doesn't automatically mean surgery.
Many women assume they simply have to "live with it" until symptoms become severe enough for an operation.
In reality, many women with mild to moderate prolapse experience meaningful improvements with conservative treatment that focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor.
In fact, clinical research has shown that 95% of women with pelvic organ prolapse experienced an improvement in their prolapse symptoms after completing an Emsella treatment series.
If you've been wondering whether there's something you can do before considering surgery...
There just might be.
Is This Prolapse?
This is your sub-headline
One of the first questions women ask is:
"How do I know if I have a prolapse?"
Every woman describes it a little differently.
You may notice:
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure
- Feeling like something is "falling out"
- A vaginal bulge that you can feel or see
- Bladder leakage
- Difficulty emptying your bladder
- Difficulty having bowel movements
- Pressure that gets worse after standing all day
- Feeling better when you lie down
If you're nodding your head while reading this...
You're not imagining it.
And you're certainly not alone.
What Is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?
Think of your pelvic floor like your body's natural support system.
These muscles help hold up your:
- Bladder
- Uterus
- Rectum
- Vaginal canal
Over time, that support system can weaken.
Pregnancy.
Childbirth.
Menopause.
A hysterectomy.
Years of lifting kids, groceries, grandkids, and simply living life.
When those muscles no longer provide enough support, one or more pelvic organs may begin pressing downward, creating the sensation of pressure or a bulge.
There are several types of prolapse:
- Bladder prolapse (cystocele)
- Rectocele
- Uterine prolapse
- Vaginal vault prolapse (after hysterectomy)
- Enterocele
Which Type Sounds Most Like You?
Here are some common things we hear from our patients...
Bladder Prolapse (Cystocele)
"I leak urine, don't feel like I empty my bladder completely, or feel pressure toward the front."
Rectocele
"I struggle to empty my bowels or feel pressure toward the back."
Uterine Prolapse
"It feels like everything is dropping lower throughout the day."
Vaginal Vault Prolapse
"I've had a hysterectomy and now feel pressure or notice a bulge."
No matter which type you're experiencing...
The common thread is often a pelvic floor that's asking for more support.
Why Does Prolapse Happen?
Your pelvic floor has been working hard for decades.
Common causes include:
- Pregnancy
- Vaginal childbirth
- Multiple pregnancies
- Menopause
- Aging
- Reduced estrogen
- Loss of collagen
- Chronic constipation
- Heavy lifting
- Chronic coughing
- Obesity
- Previous hysterectomy
Here's the encouraging part:
Pelvic floor muscles (the hammock holding everything up) can become stronger again.
Did you know?
This is your sub-headline
A forward pelvic tilt (swayback) can actually make the vaginal canal more up-and-down, leading to easier prolapse symptoms. A neutral pelvis brings the vaginal canal more horizontal, which allows the downward pressure to keep this closed, leading to less prolapse issues.
Can Pelvic Organ Prolapse Heal Without Surgery?
This is your sub-headline
This is one of the most searched questions online.
The answer?
It depends.
However, prolapse generally doesn't "go away" on its own... "Wait and See" is NOT a treatment plan!
Many women with mild prolapse (up to a grade 3) experience significant symptom improvement by strengthening the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. Many of our patients report not being able to feel the bulge anymore, not having to splint to use the restroom, and the feelings of pressure or heaviness disappearing.
Our goal isn't simply to help you "manage" prolapse.
It's to help your body provide better support from the inside out.
We Hear This All the Time...
"I wish someone had told me about this years ago!"
Many women think prolapse automatically means surgery... or just dealing with it until it is "bad enough."
Others quietly stop exercising.
They stop traveling.
They stop lifting their grandchildren.
They change their lives around their symptoms.
The women who walk through our doors are often surprised to discover there are conservative treatment options that may help before surgery is ever considered.
How Can Emsella Help?
This is your sub-headline
One of the most exciting things about Emsella is that it doesn't simply help you manage symptoms.
It strengthens the muscles underneath them.
During a comfortable 28-minute treatment, High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology stimulates thousands of powerful pelvic floor contractions.
These contractions help strengthen the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, bowel, and vaginal canal.
Many women tell us they notice:
❤️ Less pressure
❤️ Less heaviness
❤️ Better bladder control
❤️ More confidence walking and exercising
❤️ Greater confidence during intimacy
❤️ Feeling more supported throughout the day
One of our favorite things to hear is:
"I don't think about it anymore."
That's freedom.
Imagine Forgetting About It.
Imagine...
❤️ Standing through your granddaughter's volleyball game without constantly shifting your weight.
❤️ Going for a walk because you enjoy it—not because you're testing your body.
❤️ Traveling without worrying about pelvic pressure.
❤️ Picking up your grandchild confidently.
❤️ Feeling more comfortable during intimacy.
❤️ Feeling supported again.
Not perfect.
Just free.

Questions Women Ask Us
This is your sub-headline
Many women describe prolapse as pressure, heaviness, a vaginal bulge, or feeling like something is "falling out." Some notice symptoms worsen after standing all day, while others feel them most during exercise or lifting.
Many women with mild to moderate prolapse improve their symptoms through pelvic floor strengthening with Emsella and other conservative treatments. While surgery is appropriate for some women, it isn't the only option.
Yes. Bladder leakage and prolapse often occur together because both can result from a weakened pelvic floor. Strengthening these muscles may improve support and bladder control.
Yes. Women can develop vaginal vault prolapse after a hysterectomy because the top of the vaginal canal may lose support over time. Pelvic floor strengthening can still play an important role in supporting the pelvis.
It can. Some women notice pressure, decreased confidence, or discomfort during intimacy. As pelvic floor strength improves, many women report feeling more supported, more comfortable, and more confident. The improvements in blood flow after treatment also allow for greater sensation and arousal.
Not at all.
Whether you had children thirty years ago or entered menopause a decade ago, your pelvic floor muscles can still become stronger.
In fact, one of the most common things we hear after treatment is:
"I wish I had done this years ago."
