At Spine Pro Chiropractic, we are committed to helping patients reclaim control of their bodies. We are always on the lookout for clinically-sound technologies that enhance function, reduce pain, and support whole-body wellness. One device that merits attention is the UroMAXX Chair: a seated, non-invasive system designed to activate pelvic floor and core musculature using high-intensity electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation. In this blog post, we’ll dig into how the UroMAXX Chair relates to incontinence, sexual health, and lower back (core) pain, exploring the mechanisms, scientific rationale, and patient-care implications relevant to your chiropractic practice or patient referral network.

What is the UroMAXX Chair and how it works

The UroMAXX Chair is a specialized therapy platform where the patient sits fully clothed, and an electromagnetic field is applied to stimulate pelvic-floor and surrounding core musculature. Here’s a breakdown of key features:

• It uses HIFEM technology to trigger thousands of supra-maximal pelvic-floor muscle contractions in a short session—far beyond what voluntary exercises can deliver. 

• It’s non-invasive, no needles, no surgery, minimal or no downtime. 

• Clinically, it’s for both men and women (addressing pelvic floor weakness, urinary/bowel control issues, sexual dysfunction, core/pelvic pain). 

Given the mechanisms—intense, targeted activation of deep pelvic/core muscles—this therapy naturally intersects with three key domains: bladder/bowel control (incontinence), sexual/uro-genital health, and core/pelvic stability (which ties into lower-back pain). Let’s explore each.

1. Incontinence (Bladder & Bowel Control)

One of the primary clinical uses of the UroMAXX Chair is in the management of urinary incontinence (stress, urge, mixed) and pelvic floor muscle weakness.
Mechanisms & benefits:

• Weak or poorly coordinated pelvic-floor muscles are a common underlying cause of incontinence: they fail to adequately support the bladder/urethra or respond rapidly when intra-abdominal pressure spikes (e.g., coughing, sneezing, lifting). 

• The UroMAXX Chair generates thousands of contractions in one session, thereby significantly accelerating muscle re-education and strengthening compared to traditional Kegel exercises alone.

• By enhancing neuromuscular control of the pelvic floor, this treatment improves coordination between core/pelvic muscles and bladder/bowel functions, reducing leakage episodes and urgency. 

• Patients who have failed or plateaued with pelvic-floor exercises (or cannot effectively engage those muscles).

• For female patients postpartum, post-menopausal, or male patients post-prostatectomy, this offers a non-surgical adjunct.

• NOTE: Patients with certain implants (pacemakers, IUDs, etc) or contraindications to HIFEM may not be eligible.

2. Sexual Health & Pelvic-Core Function

Sexual function and intimate health are closely tied to pelvic floor musculature, circulation, and neuromuscular coordination. The UroMAXX Chair has promising applications here too.
Mechanisms & benefits:

• In women: Pelvic-floor muscles contribute to vaginal tone, sensation, and support of pelvic organs. Weakness can contribute to vaginal laxity, reduced sensation, discomfort during intercourse, and associated incontinence. The Chair addresses these by restoring muscular tone. 

• In men: Pelvic-floor dysfunction can contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation, post-prostatectomy urinary/sexual issues. Strengthening these muscles helps with rigidity, neuromuscular control, and pelvic stability. 

• The core/pelvic musculature integrates with the lumbar spine, hip stabilizers, sacroiliac joint—improved pelvic floor strength can enhance pelvic stability, thus improving movement, posture and sexual-position comfort, which in turn may reduce sexual-pain or dysfunction related to posture or low-back/hip issues.

3. Lower Back Pain, Core & Pelvic Stability

The lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, pelvis and pelvic-floor form a functional “core cylinder.” Dysfunction in one area (pelvic floor weakness) can compromise core stability, contributing to low-back pain, hip issues, gait dysfunction, posture problems. The UroMAXX Chair addresses that underpinning.
Mechanisms & benefits:

• The pelvic-floor muscles help stabilize the sacrum and pelvis; when they’re weak the load on lumbar spine and SI joints increases, contributing to low-back pain. 

• Because the UroMAXX Chair induces deep contractions of pelvic-floor and surrounding core musculature, it helps “re-wire” neuromuscular control and stability from the inside-out. This means improved stabilization during functional movements, lifting, bending, etc. 

• Improved pelvic stability can reduce compensatory overuse of lumbar extensors, reduce shear at SI joints, improve posture and thus reduce chronic low-back pain.
