Emsella Chair in Bartlett, TN
Strengthen your pelvic floor and regain bladder control while you sit fully clothed, with no needles and no downtime.
What Is the Emsella Chair?
Emsella treatment at our clinic is overseen by Dr. Jared Worthington, DC, a Logan University College of Chiropractic graduate with certifications in spinal, extremity and myofascial rehabilitation. His rehab training focuses on how the core, hips and pelvis work together, which is why he sees pelvic floor strength as part of whole-body health rather than a separate problem.
The Challenge
When Bladder Leaks Start to Limit Your Life
Urinary incontinence is very common, yet many people never mention it to anyone. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that works like a hammock, supporting the bladder and helping control the flow of urine. Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, aging, weight gain, heavy lifting and prostate surgery can all weaken it. The result can be small leaks during a workout, a sneeze or a laugh, or a sudden urge that makes you plan your day around the nearest restroom.
Kegel exercises help, but they are hard to do correctly and even harder to keep up. Many people stop running, skip social plans or wear pads every day. The Emsella Chair offers another way to train these muscles. Because the pelvic floor also works with the deep core and hips, pelvic floor weakness can sit alongside low back pain and pelvic discomfort, especially after pregnancy. That link is one reason we offer Emsella in a clinic that already treats the spine and pelvis every day.
How Does the Emsella Chair Work?
HIFEM Energy for the Pelvic Floor
The Emsella Chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy delivered through the seat. The energy reaches the pelvic floor muscles and makes them contract strongly and repeatedly, far more often than you could with voluntary Kegels. According to the manufacturer, a single session produces thousands of these supramaximal contractions. Over a series of visits, this training helps rebuild strength and control in muscles that support the bladder.
The Emsella Chair is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence in both women and men. Studies of HIFEM chair treatment, including a trial published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, reported fewer leaks, reduced pad use and better quality of life scores. The same HIFEM technology is used in Emsculpt Neo for the abdomen and buttocks, adapted here for the pelvic floor.

Emsella Chair vs. Alternatives
Not sure where to start, I was referred here by my physical therapist and was honestly pretty skeptical at first. But it’s been an overwhelmingly positive experience. Everyone is supportive and genuinely cares about your well-being. Dr. Worthington brings incredible energy and passion, and it’s clear he truly cares about helping you make real progress. I’ve had two back surgeries, and now on a third journey through back pain. After being adjusted and traction, I’m already noticing significant improvements. For the first time in a while, I feel like I’m starting to get my life back. A special shout out to Kayln, she’s incredibly friendly and takes customer service to a new level. Thank you for being so accommodating with my schedule.
Jamil Abdelfattah Absolutely amazing experience at this chiropractor office! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable. The office itself is clean, organized, and has such a positive atmosphere. A huge thank you to Dr. Jared for providing outstanding care and making the entire experience feel personal and professional. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. You can truly tell he cares about his patients and wants the best for them. Also, Michelle and Kalyn at the front desk was incredible — so kind, helpful, and attentive from start to finish. She made scheduling and check-in easy and stress-free and always had a friendly attitude. If you’re looking for a chiropractor office with amazing staff, excellent care, and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend this place!
Alexander Graham I love every experience I have at Worthington Chiropractic. All of the staff work together to make sure every patient’s needs are met. I am especially thankful for Kalyn for her patience with my daughter when she comes with me. They are a family friendly business. 💗
Karina Morgan I was at my wits end with hip pain. I was informed about how great Dr. Worthington was, and that was absolutely true!! The ladies at the front desk Michelle and Kaylin, were so very sweet, kind, and very helpful. I had NEVER been to a chiropractor before but I trust Dr. Worthington and getting my hip corrected. I highly recommend the office!!!
Tammy Stevens Dr Worthington is amazing. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything so thoroughly. I instantly felt safe and comfortable in his care. I trust him and his staff.
