Overactive Bladder Treatment in Chandler, AZ | Bladder Centers of America

Overactive Bladder Treatment in Chandler, AZ

If you’re living with overactive bladder (OAB) in Chandler, Arizona, you don’t have to accept frequent urgency, nighttime trips to the bathroom, or the embarrassment of accidental leakage as a permanent part of your life. Bladder Centers of America, led by double board-certified urologist Dr. Tory McJunkin, offers advanced, long-lasting relief for patients throughout the East Valley — including Chandler, Ahwatukee, Ocotillo, and Sun Lakes.

Why Chandler Patients Choose Bladder Centers of America

Our Scottsdale clinic is conveniently located just 20–30 minutes north of Chandler via the Loop 101 or the Price Road corridor. For residents of neighborhoods like Andersen Springs, Fulton Ranch, Fulton Ranch West, or Dobson Ranch, the drive to Scottsdale is an easy commute — and the results are worth every mile.

Dr. McJunkin has helped hundreds of patients from the greater Chandler area break free from the constraints of OAB. Unlike primary care physicians who often rely solely on medications, Dr. McJunkin specializes in Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) — the gold-standard, FDA-approved device therapy that targets the root neurological cause of overactive bladder rather than just masking symptoms.

What Is Overactive Bladder?

Overactive bladder is a condition characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate that is difficult to control. Symptoms include:

  • Urgency: A sudden, strong need to urinate right away
  • Frequency: Urinating more than 8 times in 24 hours
  • Nocturia: Waking up 2 or more times at night to urinate
  • Urge incontinence: Leaking urine before reaching the bathroom

OAB affects over 33 million Americans and is especially common in adults over 40. Many Chandler patients suffer in silence, assuming their symptoms are a normal part of aging. They’re not — and effective treatment is available right here in the Phoenix metro area.

Sacral Neuromodulation: The Treatment That Changes Lives

Sacral Neuromodulation therapy works by delivering gentle electrical impulses to the sacral nerves that control bladder function. Think of it as a pacemaker for the bladder. When the nerve signals misfiring and causing your OAB symptoms are corrected, the urgency, frequency, and leakage dramatically improve — or disappear entirely.

At Bladder Centers of America, we specialize in the latest SNM systems, including Axonics Therapy — a next-generation implantable device that is MRI-compatible, rechargeable, and designed to last over 15 years. Many of our Chandler patients also qualify for a trial period before committing to a permanent implant, so you can experience the results firsthand.

Why SNM May Be Right for Chandler Patients Who Have Failed Medication

If you’ve tried OAB medications like oxybutynin, solifenacin, or mirabegron and experienced limited relief or side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, or brain fog — you’re not alone. Many Chandler patients arrive at our clinic having tried multiple medications without success. For these patients, Sacral Neuromodulation offers a life-changing alternative.

Research shows that SNM therapy is 2–3 times more effective than continued medication alone for patients with refractory OAB. It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure with a rapid recovery, allowing most patients to return to their normal Chandler routines within days.

Insurance & Medicare Coverage for OAB Treatment

Worried about cost? You may be covered. Bladder Centers of America works with major insurance carriers and Medicare to ensure our Chandler patients can access the care they need without financial barriers.

  • Medicare: Sacral Neuromodulation (SNM) is a covered benefit under Medicare Part B when medically necessary. Most Medicare-eligible patients in Chandler pay little to nothing out-of-pocket for the evaluation, trial, and permanent implant procedure.
  • Medicare Advantage Plans: Most Medicare Advantage plans (including those offered through Humana, UnitedHealthcare, and Aetna) also cover SNM therapy with prior authorization.
  • Commercial Insurance: Axonics SNM and related OAB treatments are covered by most major commercial insurers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare.
  • Prior Authorization: Our experienced insurance team handles all pre-authorization paperwork on your behalf, so you can focus on getting better.

Our team will verify your specific coverage before your appointment and walk you through your out-of-pocket costs with full transparency. We never surprise our patients with unexpected bills.

  2. Medical History: We’ll review any medications you’ve tried and previous treatments.
  3. Urodynamic Evaluation (if needed): Advanced testing to assess how well your bladder stores and releases urine.
  4. Treatment Plan: Dr. McJunkin will explain all your options — including SNM, Botox injections, behavioral therapy, and more — and recommend the best path forward for your specific situation.
