Altaviva is an advanced therapy designed to help treat symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), including urge urinary incontinence, frequent urination, and sudden, difficult-to-control urges to urinate. It uses gentle neuromodulation technology to improve communication between your bladder and the nerves that control it.
Your bladder and brain constantly communicate through a network of nerves that control when your bladder stores urine and when it's time to empty. In people with an overactive bladder, these nerve signals can become disrupted, causing the bladder to contract before it's full.
Altaviva delivers gentle stimulation to the nerves involved in bladder control, helping normalize these signals and improve bladder function. By restoring healthier communication between the bladder and nervous system, many patients experience fewer urgent trips to the bathroom and improved bladder control.
Your provider will explain how the treatment is performed, answer your questions, and create a care plan tailored to your individual needs.
Altaviva is primarily used to treat symptoms associated with an overactive bladder, including:
If these symptoms interfere with your work, sleep, travel, or everyday activities, Altaviva may provide meaningful relief.
