POSTERIOR TIBIAL NERVE STIMULATION (PTNS): THE PAINLESS PATH

Here’s news: your ankle may affect your bladder! The posterior tibial nerve, which sits just behind your ankle, mingles with the bladder nerve and affects urinary incontinence. As innovators in urology care in Houston, we offer PTNS at LifeSculpt™ by ChristiMD️ to retrain the bladder nerve via that tibial nerve, delivering a calmer bladder and improved control.

Dr. Christi Explains PTNS Treatment

Discover in this video from LifeSculpt By ChristiMD™️ at for spastic bladder, overactive bladder, and urge incontinence in LifeSculpt By ChristiMD™️ in Houston, TX, what PTNS Treatment can do for you, and whether you’re a candidate. After diagnosing overactive bladder (OAB), our Houston urology team develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

How PTNS Treatment Works

First, contact LifeSculpt™ by ChristiMD️ for an initial consultation.

We’ll talk with you openly and honestly about your concerns, and whether previous exercises and treatments have helped. Choosing PTNS doesn’t preclude other approaches, and works well for patients who prefer non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical overactive bladder treatment.

During each in-office procedure, a tiny needle is gently tapped into the area behind the ankle, next to (not into), the posterior tibial nerve.

The needle then connects to a neuro-stimulator to send messages to your bladder nerve.

Once the needle is inserted and connected, you rest with your foot propped up for about 20 minutes while the treatment stimulates the posterior tibial nerve.

The sensation travels from your ankle to the spinal column where it connects with the bladder nerve in the S3 nerve root.

You may experience a buzzing feeling in your foot during the procedure, but it does not hurt.

At the conclusion of the treatment, the needle is removed.

The recommended course is one 20-minute session, weekly, for 12 weeks. After the initial 12-week period, treatments are every 3 weeks for 4 months. Each patient is different, and the exact treatment schedule is individualized for you.

PTNS Treatment FAQ

Get all your questions answered about PTNS Treatment at LifeSculpt By ChristiMD™️.

No, posterior tibial nerve stimulation is painless. The needle is similar to an acupuncture needle, and the nerve stimulation is often compared to a “buzzing feeling” in the foot.

Though practically every person with overactive bladder or spastic bladder syndrome is a candidate, anyone with a pacemaker or nerve damage should probably not have PTNS. Be sure to talk with Dr. Christi about your history before approaching the treatment.

Some of the most popular treatments women (and men) choose along with posterior tibial nerve stimulation include pelvic floor training, Emsella Chair treatments, and medications.
