NeoControl Electromagnetic therapy doesn’t require any devices or probes to be inserted, and no electricity flows from the system to the patient. A therapeutic magnetic field alone initiates muscle contractions.

You sit fully clothed in the chair just like the woman in the picture having a treatment- the machine does the exercises for you.

THE CONDITION NO ONE
IS TALKING ABOUT

You cough. Laugh too hard. Or walk too far. And then it hits you. The loss of bladder control. If you’re experiencing incontinence, you’re not alone. It happens to approximately 30% of women in this country. And, contrary to popular belief, it’s not a problem exclusively related to aging.

URINARY INCONTINENCE:

TYPES AND CAUSES

Urinary incontinence is categorized into for basic types: stress, urge, mixed and overflow.

Stress incontinence is the most common and often caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles (those that control urination). Childbirth, pelvic surgery and a decreased level of oestrogen in menopausal women can all contribute to muscle weakness. Rebuilding strength and endurance in these muscles can cure stress incontinence.
Urge incontinence is less common and can be a symptom of a bladder infection, high levels of alcohol consumption, changes in diet, a side effect of medication or long term poor bladder habits such as too frequent urination.
Mixed incontinence is a combination of stress and urge.
Overflow incontinence is where the urge to empty the bladder does not come when the bladder is full and the bladder simply overflows.

SIGNS OF INCONTINENCE

· Urinary leakage caused by coughing, laughing or sneezing.

· The sudden urge to urinate

· Loss of bladder control on the way to the bathroom

· Using the toilet frequently during the night

· Urinary leakage that occurs regularly after childbirth

· Loss of bladder control while running, walking or jumping.

NEOCONTROL: THE REVOLUTIONARY THERAPY FOR INCONTINENCE

NeoControl is a non-surgical, non-invasive therapy for the treatment of incontinence. For patients who suffer from incontinence caused by a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, NeoControl works by finding and exercising all the muscles of the pelvic floor to rebuild strength, endurance and bladder control.

NEOCONTROL TREATMENTS

The therapy is painless as a result of the variable power delivery. Nothing other than the chair ever touches you. You’ll be able to feel your pelvic floor muscles contracting. If this is too intense the power may be reduced to suit your tolerance. After the therapy your muscles may feel a little sore; but it’s not much different than how you’d feel after any light workout. Neocontrol automates pelvic floor Kegel Exercises, and strengthens your pelvic floor with no effort from you.

The therapy is most effective for the treatment of urinary leakage caused by a weakening of the pelvic floor. A treatment session takes less than 30 minutes and is typically done 2 or 3 times a week for 8-10 weeks. For some women, this will cure incontinence completely. Others may see an improvement in their symptoms while a minority may see very little. Generally this latter group - about 1 in 5 - may need to consider more invasive (surgical) options. NeoControl is an ideal option for those who consider surgery a last resort in the restoration of bladder control.

HOW NEOCONTROL WORKS

NeoControl is based on an electromagnetic technology called Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation (ExMI^TM). This technology produces highly focused pulsing magnetic fields. You sit fully clothed in a comfortable chair, allowing the therapeutic fields to be easily aimed at the muscles of the pelvic floor that control continence. These muscles contract and relax with each magnetic pulse, exercising them just as you would with Kegel exercises. You simply sit and relax. The technology has approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia.

NEOCONTROL COMPARED TO OTHER
NON-SURGICAL THERAPIES

Both Kegel (Pelvic Floor) exercises and Kegels in combination with biofeedback require you to actively work at isolating your pelvic floor muscles and master contracting them. Plus, you must do this regularly and correctly to gain clinical benefit. NeoControl, on the other hand, requires no such skill or training, which is beyond many women. It does all the work for you and also exercises the muscles more completely and vigorously than you could do on your own.

If you have the skill and tenacity to combine NeoControl therapy with Kegels, you can expect an even faster recovery.

A variety of invasive therapies are currently available, including catheters, implanted urethral dams, and electrical stimulation devices. However, some of these require that wires or probes be inserted intravaginally and can be painful or uncomfortable. NeoControl therapy doesn’t require any devices or probes to be inserted, and no electricity flows from the system to the patient. A therapeutic magnetic field alone initiates muscle contractions. Unlike electrical stimulation devices, this creates no heat and cannot burn the skin even at maximum power settings.

NEOCONTROL
COMPARED TO SURGERY

The majority of patients with stress or mixed incontinence can be cured or significantly helped by a non invasive therapy such as NeoControl. Treatment with NeoControl avoids the potential risks inherent with surgery, such as those from anesthesia, infection, voiding or sexual dysfunction or bleeding after surgery. Surgery also requires hospitalization and includes a recovery period, which is not required with NeoControl. In addition, NeoControl offers a new option for patients who are at increased surgical risk due to a particular medical condition. NeoControl isn’t for all patients, however. Those with a confirmed anatomical defect will most likly require a surgical solution. Check with your practitioner regarding contraindications.
