A Clinically Proven Solution for Bladder and Bowel Control
For patients experiencing persistent bladder or bowel dysfunction that hasn’t improved with lifestyle changes or physical therapy, there’s now a long-term, minimally invasive solution: Axonics Therapy.
Axonics Therapy uses gentle, targeted stimulation to restore normal communication between the brain and the sacral nerves, which play a crucial role in bladder and bowel control. This breakthrough treatment offers symptom relief for people living with urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, urinary retention, and fecal incontinence and it’s available at Incontinence Centers of America in Denver and Colorado Springs.
How Axonics Therapy Works to Improve Bladder and Bowel Control
Axonics Therapy involves the implantation of a small, rechargeable device near the sacral nerve root. This miniaturized Axonics implant sends mild electrical pulses to the sacral nerves to correct abnormal communication patterns and help restore normal control over bladder and bowel function. This outpatient procedure safely delivers therapy that’s been clinically proven to help patients regain bladder and bowel control without the need for major surgery.
The treatment is typically used when conservative treatments such as medications, behavioral therapies, and pelvic floor therapy have failed to provide lasting improvement. At Incontinence Centers of America, we help patients navigate the evaluation period to determine if this FDA-approved treatment is right for them.
Who Is a Candidate for Axonics Therapy?
If you’ve been struggling with bladder incontinence, fecal incontinence, or urinary retention and have found little relief through medication or lifestyle changes, Axonics Therapy may be a life-changing option. It’s especially effective for:
- Urinary urgency incontinence
- Overactive bladder
- Urinary retention not caused by blockage or anatomical issues
- Fecal incontinence or bowel symptoms that disrupt daily life
Our team will guide you through the assessment process to help your doctor determine if you’re a candidate.

What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Axonics Therapy begins with an evaluation phase where a temporary system is placed. This allows both you and your care team to assess how your body responds. Most patients feel only mild discomfort during this trial period. If the temporary system shows positive results, a permanent Axonics device is implanted.
This small device safely delivers therapy through gentle stimulation to the sacral nerves. Most patients report minimal downtime and can return to normal activities shortly after the outpatient procedure. Over the following weeks, many patients experience noticeable improvements in bladder function and bowel control.
Restoring Bladder Function Without Major Surgery
One of the key advantages of Axonics Therapy is that it addresses the root cause of bladder and bowel symptoms. The Axonics system helps restore normal bladder function without the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
Patients suffering from stress incontinence, bowel incontinence, or urinary retention often find this treatment to be an ideal middle ground between conservative treatments and more aggressive procedures. It’s a clinically proven option that delivers real results with minimal disruption to your life.
