AXONICS Therapy
in Naples, FL
What Is AXONICS Therapy?
AXONICS therapy is a form of sacral neuromodulation that targets the nerves responsible for bladder and bowel function. It uses a small, implantable neurostimulator to send gentle electrical pulses to the sacral nerves. This process helps restore normal communication between the brain and the bladder or bowel, which can significantly reduce symptoms of overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, and urinary retention.
The AXONICS Therapy Process
Initial Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Our team will perform an evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this advanced therapy.
Trial Assessment Period
Before receiving a permanent implant, all patients undergo a trial period. A temporary external device is used to test the therapy’s effectiveness, allowing you to experience the potential symptom relief firsthand before making a final decision.
Device Implantation
If the trial is successful, a minimally invasive procedure is scheduled to place the small, discreet neurostimulator. The implant is typically positioned under the skin in the upper buttock area.
Post-Implant Programming
After implantation, your device will be custom-programmed to provide optimal symptom control. You will also receive a simple remote control to adjust stimulation levels and a convenient, easy-to-use charging system.
