Compassionate Bladder Care for Men and Women from Urologist Dr. Carolyn Fronczak
Sacral Neuromodulation in Denver, CO, gives patients a reliable pathway to improved bladder function and greater daily confidence. Dr. Carolyn Fronczak delivers individualized urological solutions that empower men and women across the Denver metro area to manage pelvic floor dysfunction and chronic urinary conditions effectively.
Sacral Neuromodulation in Denver, CO, involves a neurostimulation device, a small, battery-operated implant positioned beneath the skin in the upper buttock area, connected to a thin electrode lead that targets the sacral nerve responsible for regulating bladder and bowel activity.
The implanted neurostimulator sends gentle electrical impulses to the sacral nerve, helping to quiet the misfiring signals behind overactive bladder episodes. Researchers continue to study the exact biological pathways that make this pelvic nerve stimulation so effective.
InterStim sacral nerve therapy has been reshaping how urologists approach bladder dysfunction for over two decades, with each device generation bringing meaningful improvements in comfort and performance.
I rely on the Medtronic InterStim System for my patients because Medtronic has led the development of sacral nerve stimulation technology from the beginning. Their devices continue to set the standard, and the entire implant platform is now fully compatible with MRI scanning.
An initial diagnostic assessment (peripheral nerve evaluation) takes place right in my office. A thin temporary lead is placed near the sacral nerve to gauge your symptom response over approximately one week, then removed as simply and painlessly as peeling off a bandage.
When the in-office evaluation demonstrates meaningful symptom relief, the full permanent neurostimulator implant is completed as an outpatient surgical procedure, typically finished in under sixty minutes.
Who Qualifies for Sacral Nerve Stimulation Therapy?
Sacral neuromodulation is often the right next step when conservative approaches have fallen short. This bladder control device therapy is intended for adults dealing with ongoing urinary or bowel symptoms that interfere with everyday activities.
You may be an ideal candidate if you experience:
Persistent overactive bladder that has not improved with oral medications or behavioral therapy. Urge urinary incontinence resulting in unwanted leakage episodes. Non-obstructive urinary retention where the bladder does not empty completely on its own. Fecal incontinence or long-standing difficulty maintaining bowel control.
This neurostimulation treatment may not be suitable if you have:
An existing pacemaker or another implanted electronic device. Upcoming medical imaging needs requiring MRI equipment that is not compatible with the system. Specific neurological disorders that affect spinal cord function.
The convenient office-based trial period allows you to confirm whether sacral nerve stimulation delivers real results for your symptoms before making any commitment to permanent implantation.
Why Denver Patients Choose Sacral Neuromodulation Over Other Bladder Treatments
Most patients who visit our office have already tried medications, pelvic floor exercises, or other therapies without lasting improvement. Sacral neuromodulation works differently because it addresses the nerve signals behind your symptoms rather than simply managing them on the surface.
Unlike oral medications that may cause dry mouth, constipation, or brain fog, the Medtronic InterStim targets bladder nerve activity directly with no daily pills to remember. Unlike Botox bladder injections that require repeat treatments every several months, a single sacral neuromodulation implant provides continuous relief that patients control on their own. And unlike posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS), which requires ongoing weekly office visits, sacral neuromodulation works around the clock once implanted.
The best part is that you do not have to guess whether it will work. The in-office trial lets you experience real symptom improvement before you and Dr. Fronczak decide on permanent placement. There is no long-term commitment until you have proof that the therapy is right for you.
