Sacral Neuromodulation in Phoenix, AZ
Are you living with overactive bladder, urge incontinence, urinary retention, or fecal incontinence in the Phoenix area? Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a clinically proven therapy that can dramatically improve your quality of life—and Bladder Centers of America is Phoenix’s trusted destination for expert SNM care under Dr. Tory McJunkin.
What Is Sacral Neuromodulation?
Sacral neuromodulation is an FDA-approved treatment that delivers mild, targeted electrical stimulation to the sacral nerve—the nerve that controls bladder and bowel function. A small implanted device sends continuous signals that help normalize the nerve pathways responsible for urination and bowel control.
Unlike medications, SNM addresses the underlying nerve dysfunction rather than masking symptoms. It has been used successfully for over 25 years and has helped more than 400,000 patients worldwide regain control.
Conditions Treated with SNM in Phoenix
As a Phoenix sacral neuromodulation specialist, Dr. McJunkin treats:
- Overactive Bladder (OAB) — Urgency, frequency, and nocturia (waking at night to urinate)
- Urge Urinary Incontinence — Accidental urine leakage triggered by sudden, strong urgency
- Urinary Retention — Incomplete bladder emptying, requiring catheterization
- Fecal Incontinence — Inability to control bowel movements or gas
Phoenix OAB treatment with sacral neuromodulation is ideal for patients who have tried and failed conservative treatments including medication, pelvic floor therapy, or lifestyle modifications.

The SNM Procedure: Step by Step
Sacral neuromodulation Phoenix AZ patients experience a two-phase process designed to ensure optimal outcomes:
Step 1 – Evaluation Trial: Under local anesthesia, a temporary lead wire is placed near the sacral nerve. Over 1–2 weeks, you track your symptoms. If you experience significant improvement (50% or more), you qualify for the permanent system.
Step 2 – Permanent Implant: A small pulse generator is implanted just beneath the skin in your upper buttock area during a short outpatient procedure. Recovery is minimal—most Phoenix patients resume normal activities within days.
The system is adjustable, rechargeable (depending on device model), and fully reversible. If your needs change, the device can be reprogrammed or removed.
