Tibial nerve stimulation is a low-risk treatment that doesn’t require surgery. An electrical stimulator is used to deliver mild electrical pulses to the nerves that control your bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
Tibial nerve stimulation involves having either (1) a tiny needle electrode inserted into the skin around the ankle, called posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) or (2) an electrode pad placed on the skin near the ankle, called transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS).
