Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation

Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate the tibial nerve near the ankle. This stimulation sends signals to the nerves controlling bladder and pelvic functions, helping to improve symptoms like overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The procedure typically involves small needle electrodes inserted near the ankle, connected to a device that delivers controlled electrical impulses. PTNS is usually performed in a series of sessions, and many patients experience significant symptom relief with minimal discomfort and low risk of side effects.
