Personalized Urological Care for Men and Women with Dr. Carolyn Fronczak
Are you ready to restore bladder control and regain your quality of life? Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Boulder, CO, offers a proven, minimally invasive solution. Dr. Carolyn Fronczak provides comprehensive urological treatment designed to help patients of all genders overcome overactive bladder symptoms.
Overactive bladder management options range from lifestyle adjustments and prescription medications to advanced therapeutic interventions.
Treatments for overactive bladder work equally well for women and men seeking relief from urinary urgency and frequency.
Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation in Boulder, CO (also known as percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation) functions similarly to acupuncture therapy but incorporates neuromodulation through gentle electrical impulses.
A small acupuncture needle is carefully positioned above the medial malleolus near the posterior tibial nerve pathway that connects to bladder control centers.
The acupuncture needle then receives mild electrical stimulation to activate the nerve fibers, this PTNS procedure should cause no pain during treatment.
A buzzing or tingling sensation radiates through the toes from the electrical impulse, and patients often notice their toes curling downward involuntarily.
When the tibial nerve receives stimulation, it transmits signals to the sacral nerve plexus in the spine, calming detrusor muscle overactivity and reducing bladder hyperactivity.
Patients typically need 8-9 treatment sessions to experience symptom relief, with successful outcomes measured by achieving 50% or greater reduction in OAB symptoms.
Is Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation Right for You?
Posterior tibial nerve stimulation works best for patients who want effective overactive bladder relief without medication side effects or surgery. You may be an ideal candidate if you experience frequent urination (more than 8 times daily), sudden strong urges that are difficult to control, nighttime bathroom visits disrupting your sleep, or bladder leakage before reaching the toilet.
PTNS offers particular advantages for patients who have tried oral medications without success or cannot tolerate anticholinergic drugs due to dry mouth, constipation, or cognitive concerns. This treatment is also well-suited for those who prefer a gradual, non-surgical approach before considering more invasive options like sacral neuromodulation.

Each appointment takes approximately 30 minutes at our Frederick office. You’ll remain fully clothed while seated comfortably.
