Urgent PC®
If you have Overactive Bladder (OAB), you are not alone. Over 16% of the adult population suffer from OAB symptoms. One emerging therapy uses the Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System, a non-drug, non-surgical technique for controlling the OAB symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency and urge incontinence. Urgent PC delivers a specific type of impulse through a fine needle electrode placed near your ankle. This type of impulse is known as percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). In scientific studies, 2 out of 3 individuals treated saw a decrease in their symptoms.

Urodynamics Studies
Urodynamics is the investigation of functional disorders of the lower urinary tract via the urethra and bladder. Symptoms are particularly unreliable in the study of the lower urinary tract, so the purpose of Urodynamics is to confirm objectively the pathology that a person's symptoms would suggest.
