Urology Associates of South Carolina proudly hosts the Axonics Center of Excellence, a designation awarded by Axonics, Inc. This honor recognizes our team’s deep expertise with Axonics Therapy, the quality of outcomes we deliver, and our ongoing commitment to improving the lives of patients with challenging bladder and bowel symptoms.

At the Axonics Center of Excellence, we focus on advanced neuromodulation care for patients who struggle with conditions that affect bladder and bowel control. The center represents our commitment to provide effective solutions that go beyond traditional therapies. We bring clinical knowledge, compassion, and personalized care to every patient who seeks relief from symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Axonics Therapy offers an innovative approach to restoring function when conservative treatments have not worked. This therapy uses a tiny implant to deliver gentle electrical stimulation to the nerves that control bladder and bowel function. It aims to restore normal communication between the nervous system and the organs that manage these critical functions.

Patients with conditions such as overactive bladder, urinary urgency incontinence, fecal incontinence, or urinary retention may benefit from Axonics Therapy. These symptoms can make it difficult to enjoy simple activities, attend social events, or sleep through the night. They can also affect confidence, independence, and overall quality of life. The therapy provides a long-term option that is clinically proven to help many people regain control and comfort.

At our Axonics Center, we guide patients through each step of the treatment process. We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms and medical history. If Axonics Therapy appears to be a suitable option, we then offer a trial phase. This short period allows you to experience the effects of neuromodulation before committing to a long-term implant. Many patients find this trial helpful in determining whether the therapy meets their needs.

During the trial, a temporary lead delivers gentle stimulation to the sacral nerves while you go about your daily activities. You monitor symptom changes and discuss your experience with our team. This process helps you and your provider decide together whether to proceed with the permanent implant.

If you and your care team choose to continue, we place the Axonics device during a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. The device sits just beneath the skin in the upper buttock area. Once implanted, this small device delivers continuous, gentle stimulation to the nerves that help regulate bladder and bowel function. Most patients experience meaningful improvements in symptoms, and many report a higher quality of life.

Axonics Therapy stands out for several practical benefits. The implant is compact, and you can undergo full-body MRI scans under approved conditions. Patients experience long-lasting therapy that can continue for many years, potentially reducing the need for ongoing medications or frequent office visits. The approach also helps patients who have tried medications, physical therapy, or behavior modifications without lasting relief.

As an Axonics Center of Excellence, we combine clinical expertise with patient support at every step. Our team explains treatment options clearly and helps you set realistic expectations. We review potential benefits, risks, and what you can expect from trial and long-term therapy. We work closely with you to create a care plan that fits your health goals and lifestyle.

We also help patients understand the long-term commitment that comes with neuromodulation therapy. While many patients experience significant symptom relief, results vary by individual. We focus on honest communication and shared decision-making from start to finish.

If you experience bladder or bowel symptoms that affect your daily life, the Axonics Center of Excellence at Urology Associates of South Carolina offers a meaningful path forward. Our commitment extends beyond surgery or therapy. We support you with education, follow-up care, and a team that values your comfort and progress.
