Axonics (Sacral Neuromodulation)

Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation for Women

If you’re living with bladder leakage, urgency, or frequent urination, Axonics sacral neuromodulation offers a proven, long-term solution, without major surgery.

This advanced therapy helps restore normal bladder control by targeting the nerves that regulate urinary function.

What is Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation?

Axonics therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses gentle electrical stimulation to regulate the nerves controlling the bladder.

A small implant delivers mild pulses to the sacral nerves, helping restore normal communication between the brain and bladder. 

This can significantly reduce symptoms like urgency, leakage, and frequent urination.

Who is a Candidate?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Have overactive bladder (OAB)
• Experience urge incontinence or leakage
• Have frequent or urgent urination
• Have not improved with medications or other treatments

How Axonics Works

• A small device is implanted under the skin
• It sends gentle electrical signals to the sacral nerves
• These signals help regulate bladder function

Over time, this therapy can improve bladder control and reduce symptoms.
