Personalized Emsella Treatment at Lake Forest Regenesis
Provider-Guided Pelvic Floor Care for Women & Men
Lake Forest Regenesis provides Emsella pelvic floor therapy for adults in Lake Forest, Chicago’s North Shore, and Lake County seeking a non-invasive option for concerns involving bladder control, pelvic floor weakness, pelvic strength, and sexual wellness.
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation to activate the pelvic floor muscles while you remain fully clothed and seated comfortably in the treatment chair. Sessions require no surgery, injections, internal devices, or anesthesia.
Patients may explore Emsella for concerns such as urinary leakage, urgency, pelvic floor weakness, changes after childbirth or menopause, and pelvic or sexual wellness goals. Treatment may also complement a broader pelvic and sexual health plan when appropriate.
Care is led by Allana Bush, FNP-C, a family nurse practitioner with 22 years of healthcare experience. Your treatment plan is based on your health history, symptoms, pelvic health concerns, treatment goals, and individual suitability.

What Is Emsella?
Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Care, Fully Clothed
Emsella is a non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation while you sit comfortably in the chair. It is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence; evidence for sexual wellness benefits is more limited and still emerging.
It may be considered by women and men with bladder leakage, urgency, pelvic floor weakness, or changes associated with childbirth, menopause, aging or certain procedures. Emsella is part of a personalized pelvic health plan and does not replace evaluation of an underlying condition.
How Emsella Works
Electromagnetic Energy Activates the Pelvic Floor
Emsella delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy through the chair while you stay seated and fully clothed. It produces repeated, involuntary contractions that engage deeper pelvic floor muscles without conscious effort, designed to strengthen the muscles that support bladder control.
Over a series of treatments, this may help improve pelvic floor strength, coordination and endurance. Intensity is adjusted during each session based on your comfort.
Common Emsella Treatment Goals
Personalized Pelvic Floor Support for Bladder Control, Strength & Sexual Wellness
Patients often explore Emsella for bladder leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise, and for urinary urgency or difficulty maintaining bladder control when pelvic floor muscle function may be contributing. Treatment may help support pelvic floor strength, coordination, and endurance.
After childbirth, Emsella may be considered as part of a broader postpartum pelvic health plan, and during midlife it may support pelvic strength and bladder control as hormonal and age-related changes affect pelvic tissues. Because pelvic floor muscles contribute to sexual function, some women and men explore it for comfort, though evidence for sexual benefits is limited.
Not sure what type of leakage you have? Our free, 2-minute Bladder Leakage Check shows how leaks are affecting you and whether they lean toward stress or urge leakage.
A Personalized Approach to Emsella
Pelvic Floor Treatment Designed Around Your Symptoms, Health & Individual Goals
Emsella treatment should reflect your pelvic floor symptoms, health history, stage of life, previous treatments, and personal goals rather than following the same plan for every patient.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, your consultation considers concerns such as bladder leakage, urinary urgency, pelvic floor weakness, postpartum changes, menopause-related changes, and sexual wellness.
For some patients, Emsella may complement a broader pelvic and sexual health or hormone optimization plan when those areas are relevant to the overall clinical picture.

What Your Emsella Treatment May Include
A Personalized Approach From Initial Evaluation Through Progress Review
Initial Consultation
Your first visit focuses on your health history, pelvic floor symptoms, previous treatments, medications, and goals to see whether Emsella may be right for you. A consultation is recommended but not required.
Pelvic Assessment
Your provider reviews concerns such as bladder leakage, urgency, pelvic floor weakness, sexual wellness, childbirth history, menopause, or prior procedures before developing your treatment plan.
Treatment Series
Your Emsella sessions are scheduled around your symptoms, treatment goals, comfort, and recommended course of care, with treatment intensity adjusted based on your tolerance and response.
Progress Review
After your initial series, progress can be reviewed based on bladder control, pelvic strength, symptoms, and individual goals to determine whether additional or maintenance sessions may be appropriate.
What to Expect During Emsella Treatment
Comfortable, Fully Clothed Sessions With No Surgery or Downtime
Emsella treatments are performed while you remain fully clothed and seated comfortably in the treatment chair. No injections, anesthesia, internal devices, or special preparation are typically required.
During the session, the chair delivers electromagnetic stimulation that produces repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions. You may feel rhythmic tightening, lifting, or tingling sensations as the muscles are activated.
A typical Emsella session lasts about 30 minutes. Treatment intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort and tolerance, and most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately afterward.
Changes in bladder control, pelvic floor strength, muscle awareness, and other symptoms may develop gradually over a series of treatments. Your progress and response are reviewed throughout your treatment plan, and individual results vary.
Emsella Treatment Course & Frequency
A Structured Series of Sessions With Progress Reviewed Over Time
Emsella is typically performed as a series of treatment sessions rather than a single visit. The number and frequency of sessions are based on your symptoms, pelvic floor concerns, treatment goals, and individual response.
Many treatment plans include multiple sessions scheduled over several weeks to provide repeated pelvic floor muscle stimulation and allow progress to develop gradually over time.
After the initial treatment course, progress can be reassessed to determine whether additional or maintenance sessions may be appropriate based on your response, long-term goals, and overall pelvic health plan.
Benefits of Emsella
Designed to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and support everyday comfort and confidence.
Bladder Control
Emsella may help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles involved in urinary control, supporting patients with leakage from coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise, or daily activities.
Pelvic Floor Strength
Electromagnetic stimulation is designed to support pelvic floor strength, coordination, and endurance, including deep muscles that are hard to engage with exercise alone.
Non-Invasive
Treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed and seated comfortably, with no surgery, injections, anesthesia, or internal devices required at any point.
No Downtime
Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after each session, so Emsella fits easily into a busy work, family, or travel schedule without recovery time.
Emsella & Bladder Control
Supporting Pelvic Floor Strength for Leakage, Urgency & Everyday Confidence
The pelvic floor muscles play an important role in bladder support and urinary control. When these muscles become weaker or less coordinated, patients may notice leakage with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise, or other everyday activities.
Emsella uses repeated electromagnetic stimulation to activate and condition the pelvic floor muscles, which may help support strength, coordination, and bladder control over a series of treatments.
Some patients may also explore Emsella for concerns involving urinary urgency or overactive bladder symptoms, although the underlying causes of these symptoms can vary and may require additional evaluation.
Your Treatment
A Private, Comfortable Setting
Treatment takes place in a private room at our Lake Forest office, with time for your questions before and after each session.
Emsella & Sexual Wellness
Supporting Pelvic Floor Strength, Sensation & Confidence for Women and Men
The pelvic floor contributes to sexual sensation, muscle control, comfort, and confidence for both women and men. Changes in pelvic floor strength or coordination can sometimes affect how patients experience intimacy.
By stimulating repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions, Emsella may help support muscle strength, awareness, and neuromuscular control in patients whose sexual wellness concerns are related in part to pelvic floor function.
Because research on Emsella for sexual wellness is still emerging, your provider will also look at other factors that commonly affect intimacy, such as hormonal changes, vaginal dryness, medications, and stress. For women, that can include how menopause affects sexual health.

Who May Be a Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella may be appropriate for adults experiencing concerns related to bladder leakage, urinary urgency, pelvic floor weakness, reduced muscle control, or changes in pelvic function.
It may also be considered by patients who have noticed pelvic floor changes after childbirth, menopause, aging, certain surgeries, or periods of reduced activity and want a non-surgical treatment option.
Some patients explore Emsella as part of a broader pelvic and sexual health plan when goals include improving pelvic strength, bladder confidence, muscle awareness, or sexual wellness.
Your provider reviews your health history, symptoms, previous procedures, implanted devices, treatment goals, and other relevant medical factors before determining whether Emsella is appropriate for you.
Who May Not Be a Candidate for Emsella?
Emsella may not be appropriate for everyone. Treatment is generally avoided during pregnancy and may not be suitable for patients with certain implanted electronic or metal devices in or near the treatment area.
Some medical conditions, recent pelvic procedures, active infections, unexplained pelvic pain, or other concerns may also require treatment to be postponed or avoided until further evaluation is completed.
Emsella is not a substitute for pelvic floor physical therapy, medication, surgery, or specialist evaluation when those approaches are more appropriate for the underlying condition.
Before treatment, your provider reviews your medical history, symptoms, prior procedures, implanted devices, medications, and pelvic health goals to determine whether Emsella is a suitable option.
Clinical Oversight & Safety
Emsella is a non-invasive medical device treatment, and appropriate patient selection is an important part of care. Before beginning treatment, your provider reviews your health history, symptoms, medications, previous procedures, and pelvic health concerns.
Certain implanted electronic or metal devices, pregnancy, and some medical conditions may affect whether Emsella is appropriate. Your provider also considers whether your symptoms may require additional evaluation or a different type of pelvic health treatment.
During treatment, the intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort and tolerance. Some patients may experience temporary muscle fatigue, soreness, tingling, or pelvic muscle awareness after a session.
At Lake Forest Regenesis, Emsella is provided with clinical oversight, individualized treatment planning, and realistic expectations about potential improvement and results.
When We Refer to a Specialist
If your evaluation points to something beyond Allana’s scope, such as pelvic organ prolapse, blood in the urine, recurrent urinary infections, bladder symptoms that need medication or further testing, or a need for surgery or pelvic floor physical therapy, she refers you to the right specialist and helps coordinate next steps.

A Personal Message From Your Provider
Pelvic Floor Health Deserves the Same Attention as Every Other Part of Your Health
“Pelvic floor concerns are common, but many people live with bladder leakage, weakness, or changes in sexual wellness much longer than they need to because these symptoms can feel difficult to discuss.
My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where patients can talk openly about what they are experiencing and understand the treatment options available to them.
Emsella is designed to strengthen and condition the pelvic floor non-invasively while remaining fully clothed, with no surgery or downtime. For the right patient, it can be a useful part of a broader pelvic health plan.
Treatment should always reflect your symptoms, health history, comfort, and individual goals so care feels personal, respectful, and appropriate for you.”
