Pessary Fitting Burlington
Achieve Optimal Pelvic Health with Our Comprehensive Services
At Burlington Sports and Spine Clinic, we are dedicated to providing holistic healthcare services that prioritize your well-being. A cornerstone of our practice is focusing on women's pelvic health. Our expertise in pessary fitting in Burlington sets us apart, enabling us to support women dealing with Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) effectively.
Pessary Fitting: A Safe and Non-Surgical Solution
A pessary is a medical-grade silicone device designed to be inserted into the vagina. It aids in repositioning organs, altering proprioception, and offering support along the urethra. This approach can provide significant relief from the discomfort or mobility issues associated with POP and SUI.
In Ontario, registered physiotherapists who have undergone specialized training can engage in pessary fittings. Our team at Burlington Sports and Spine Clinic follows these provincial guidelines, ensuring that you receive care that adheres to the highest standards of medical practice.
Your Health is Our Priority
Traditionally, gynecologists have been the primary providers of pessary fitting services, leading to potential extended wait times due to demand. We recognize the urgent need for these services and are dedicated to reducing wait times and making pessary fitting more accessible in Burlington.
When is a Pessary Needed?
Pessary fitting can be an effective strategy for various situations:
Alleviation of POP symptoms
Relief from SUI symptoms
Identification of occult SUI pre-operatively
Temporary treatment while awaiting surgery or deciding to expand your family
When surgery isn't suitable or desirable
Following a failed previous surgery
Our services require a prescription from the referring healthcare professional (HCP), which includes the diagnosis and a completed collaboration form (will be
provided). This ensures that your treatment plan aligns with your comprehensive health profile and needs.
