It is a conversation many women avoid, even with their doctors.
Maybe you have noticed a decrease in sensation. Maybe sex has become uncomfortable or even painful (dyspareunia). Maybe you are experiencing dryness that makes intimacy something to dread rather than enjoy.
You might be told it's just "hormones" or "menopause." But often, the root cause is neuromuscular.
At Phelts Chiropractic PC, Dr. John W. Phelts, D.C. helps women reclaim their intimate health. We move beyond creams and pills to treat the physical foundation of intimacy: the muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor.
The Physics of Intimacy
Great sexual function relies on two things: Blood Flow and Muscle Tone.
- Sensation: The pelvic floor muscles must be strong enough to contract rhythmically. Weak muscles lead to "muted" sensation.
- Lubrication: Natural lubrication depends on healthy blood flow to the vaginal tissues. When circulation drops (due to age or sitting), dryness occurs.
- Comfort: Conversely, if the muscles are too tight (hypertonic) from stress or misalignment, penetration becomes painful.
To fix these issues, you need to normalize the muscle function and surge the area with fresh circulation.
The Solution: EMSELLA (Restoring the Function)
EMSELLA is often called the "Kegel Throne," but for intimate health, it is much more than that. It is a regenerative therapy for the entire pelvic floor.
By sitting on the chair for 28 minutes, you receive 11,200 supramaximal contractions.
- For Sensation: It rebuilds the muscle fibers, increasing friction and control during intimacy.
- For Lubrication: The intense electromagnetic stimulation triggers angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). This restores natural moisture and elasticity to the tissues.
- The Result: It effectively treats women who want to improve vaginal tightness, lubrication, and comfort, often resolving pain caused by dryness or atrophy.

The Phelts Difference: Releasing Emotional Tension (AK)
The pelvis is often where women hold stress. Just as you might carry tension in your shoulders, you can carry it in your pelvic floor.
In Applied Kinesiology, we know that emotional stress can cause the pelvic muscles to "lock up" (hypertonicity). This is a common cause of painful intercourse that Kegels alone cannot fix (and might even make worse).
Dr. Phelts takes a holistic approach:
- The Check: We test for Sacral Misalignment. The nerves that control pelvic relaxation exit the sacrum. If this bone is stuck, the muscles can't relax.
- The Release: Dr. Phelts uses gentle AK corrections to release the tension in the Sacrotuberous ligaments.
- The Balance: By balancing the pelvis before using EMSELLA, we ensure we are strengthening a healthy, flexible muscle—not tightening a knot.
