Getting Help With My Back

As soon as I tweaked my back, I knew that I had a serious problem. I couldn't stand up straight and the pain was excruciating. I tried to hobble to the car, but I realized that I would need help. That day, my wife drove me to the nearest chiropractor, and that doctor helped me more than I thought was possible. After evaluating my condition, he informed me that I had a herniated disc in my back. In addition to adjusting my back to alleviate the pressure, the doctor also recommended some strengthening exercises that he said would help. These days, I can walk pain-free because of my chiropractor. Check out this blog to learn how a chiropractor can help you.

Do You Have Mixed Urinary Incontinence? Consider This Information

Tyrone Berry

If your gynecologist diagnoses you with mixed urinary incontinence, you may wonder if there's a potential cure for your condition. Mixed urinary incontinence develops in women and men who have problems controlling or managing their bladders. Learn more about mixed urinary incontinence and how you can regain control over your leaking, overactive bladder below.

How Does Mixed Urinary Incontinence Affect You?

Mixed urinary incontinence is a combination of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and over active bladder (OAB). People who have mixed urinary incontinence may suddenly have the urge to urinate as well as leak urine throughout the day. 

The individuals who have mixed incontinence may struggle to complete their daily tasks, exercise, or even sleep well at night. Some adults may limit their activities in order to avoid the hassles or problems associated with mixed incontinence. 

You may wear various types of bladder control pads to help your situation. However, pads may not be the only solutions for you. There may be other solutions you need for your mixed urinary incontinence problem instead. 

What Can You Do About Mixed Urinary Incontinence?

Mixed urinary incontinence generally affects the muscles in the bladder. The muscles may lose their natural ability to hold and release urine during the day and night. A chiropractor or physical therapist can help you regain control over your incontinence by strengthening the muscles in your bladder.

A chiropractor or therapist will need to assess the state of your bladder muscles before they implement a training plan for you. If your muscles are very weak, you may need to do physical therapy exercises on site and at home to control your bladder. The exercises target the ligaments, muscles, and other tissues in the pelvis that control movement and contractions.

You may qualify for unique bladder control treatments as well, including:

  • behavior modification
  • biofeedback
  • neuromodulation

You may need to combine the treatments above or complete them individually to achieve the results you need for your bladder condition.

If something else caused your mixed urinary incontinence, such as a spinal or back injury, a doctor may use adjustments to help you. The tissues in your lower back and pelvis may be out of alignment with each other. Misalignment can place too much stress on some tissues and not enough stress on other tissues.

If you need help controlling your mixed urinary incontinence problem, consult a chiropractor or physical therapist near you today.
