Urinary incontinence affects so many people in our nation—yet too often, patients suffer in silence, believing there are no options. Treatment starts with behavioral modification and medications. For patients who don’t respond, neuromodulation offers new hope.

At SOMC, we implanted the first posterior nerve stimulators in our region. Altaviva is a newly approved treatment performed under local anesthesia. You don’t have to live with this—help is available. Call SOMC Urology Associates at 740-356-4URO to learn more.
