| Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation | PTNS is a form of neuromodulation that stimulates the group of nerves at the base of your spine (sacral plexus) that control your bladder and bowel. This is achieved through gentle electrical stimulation via a thin needle inserted into the skin at the inner ankle (near the tibial nerve). If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, PTNS may be trialed as a way of managing your symptoms after agreement with your consultant led team. PTNS is a minimally invasive procedure that is carried out by your physiotherapist within a class setting at River Bourne Health Club, Chertsey. |
