Overactive bladder can cause urgency, frequency, leaking, and nighttime urination that disrupts work, sleep, and daily life. Dr. Colin Linke offers a full range of treatments—including lifestyle changes, medications, pelvic floor therapy, Botox, and advanced sacral neuromodulation (InterStim)—to help patients regain bladder control and confidence.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where the bladder squeezes too often or without warning. This leads to urinary urgency, frequent urination, and sometimes urge incontinence (leaking). OAB affects millions of men and women and is not a normal part of aging.
Many patients improve with conservative treatments before moving to advanced therapy.
If medications or conservative measures are not effective, minimally invasive options can provide long-term relief. Dr. Linke specializes in InterStim Sacral Neuromodulation and Botox, both highly effective options for patients with persistent OAB or urge incontinence.
InterStim (sacral neuromodulation) is one of the most advanced, long-lasting, and effective treatments for overactive bladder, urge incontinence, urinary urgency, and non-obstructive urinary retention. It works by restoring normal communication between the bladder and brain, reducing abnormal bladder signals.
The sacral nerves (S3) control bladder function. In many OAB patients, these nerve signals become overactive or mis-timed.
InterStim uses a small implanted device—similar to a pacemaker—to deliver gentle electrical stimulation to the sacral nerve. This restores normal bladder control and dramatically reduces urgency, frequency, and leakage
Dr. Linke offers advanced testing and treatment—including InterStim and Botox—to help patients regain independence and improve quality of life.
