What is Axonics® Therapy

Axonics Therapy is a long-term, treatment known as Sacral Neuromodulation that helps restore communication between the brain, bladder and bowel.

As your bladder and bowel fills, nerve signals are sent to your brain to alert you.

The brain sends nerve signals down to empty your bladder and bowel.

Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control your bladder and bowel. This restores normal communication which can result in symptom improvement.

How does Axonics Therapy work?

Axonics Therapy provides gentle stimulation to the nerves that control the bladder and bowel, which can restore normal control and result in symptom improvement.

  • The evaluation step: To see if Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will undergo a short period of therapy using a temporary system. The evaluation period allows you to experience the level of symptom relief the therapy may provide before you commit to long-term therapy.
  • Long-term therapy: If you and your doctor determine that Axonics Therapy is right for you, you will have an outpatient procedure where the miniaturized Axonics implant is placed just beneath the skin in the upper part of your buttock.

Benefits of Axonics Therapy
