Incontinence

You don't have to live with incontinence or other bladder problems

Whether due to weakness in the muscles of the pelvic floor or an associated neuromuscular condition, incontinence can be treated. We will work with you to develop a plan that focuses on exercise and lifestyle changes. While stress and urge incontinence is more common, incontinence can also be due to neurological disorders or muscle weakness. Biofeedback is a treatment we use to teach you how to strengthen and relax these voluntary muscles.

These services are available with a prescription from your doctor and may be covered by insurance.

Need Help? Call 610-402-CARE (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday) to talk to nurses and other experts who can help you find a doctor and more.
