| If you suffer from bladder problems, you know the serious impact it can have on your lifestyle and relationships. It is important to remember that you are not alone. An estimated 200 million people worldwide suffer from problems with bladder control.1 In fact, some estimates suggest that up to 50% of women and 20% of men will suffer from some kind of incontinence in their lifetime. 2 According to the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, Urinary Incontinence is a syndrome that affects approximately 63% of Texas nursing home residents.3 The loss of bladder control may make you feel powerless or embarrassed. Below are real-world examples of how Continence Care Group has helped nursing home residents regain bladder control and function. | Case Study #1 Regency Village Care Center Austin, Texas Resident: Cynthia Fox, 58 yr old female Excerpt taken from a letter written to Continence Care Group: “I am a 58 year old female with a past eight year history of weak and over active bladder. I have been treated with prescription medication for the last few years, which was unsuccessful. The urodiagnostic evaluation and testing results revealed my incontinence was neurological and I gave up hope that I would get better. It is with great pleasure to say that my incontinence has decreased by 80% since I had the first Tibial Nerve Neuromodulation treatment by Continence Care Group. The simple, painless, half hour treatments have literally changed my life, and I am no longer a slave to the toilet.” Continence Care Group evaluated Ms. Fox on June 10, 2008 and according to the Uro-diagnostic testing results, she was diagnosed with urinary frequency, female stress incontinence and urgency. On June 19, 2008 Ms. Fox started her first Tibial Nerve Neuromodulation treatment. On July 8th, 2008 Ms. Fox reported a noticeable difference and improvement after only one treatment. Throughout the entire 12-week course of treatment, she reported a remarkable improvement in her condition. She conveyed to our staff that she no longer had the overwhelming urge to urinate and that the time between urinary episodes had increased. She tolerated all treatments well and states, “I could not be happier with Continence Care Group and my treatment results”. 1 World Health Organization.

By her 5th treatment session, Ms. Ivey reported a drastic improvement in her ability to sleep through the night without episodes of incontinence. She also reported that she was able to travel with the nursing home on a resident outing to a baseball game at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock, Texas without experiencing incontinence. Previously, Ms. Ivey rarely ventured out of the nursing home for fear of embarrassement. She stated to numerous members of our staff that Continence Care Group services changed her life. Ms. Ivey’s daughter Susan has also stated that she has been impressed with the improvement her mother has shown and would recommend that the painless treatments be offered to those who suffer from Urinary Incontinence. |
