SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FOR
ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED)

Shockwave Therapy helps:

  1. Stimulate the release of growth factors in penile tissue, resulting in the generation of new blood vessels
  2. Break up plaque formation in existing blood vessels
  3. Activate dormant stem cells, leading to new cell growth

WHAT IS SHOCK WAVE THERAPY FOR ED?

Low-intensity shock waves are used in shock wave therapy (SWT), a non-invasive method of treating erectile dysfunction (ED), to promote the development of new blood vessels and enhance blood flow to the penis. In a series of painless sessions spread out over a few weeks in a clinic or doctor’s office, the device administers low-intensity shock waves to the penis. Although the precise mechanism by which SWT treats ED is still unclear, it is thought to encourage the release of growth factors and other chemicals that enhance erectile function. For men looking for a non-invasive treatment option for mild to moderate ED, SWT is regarded as a safe and effective option. However, it’s crucial to understand that not all.

WHAT IS ERECTILE
DYSFUNCTION (ED)?

Shockwave Therapy is a safe, non-invasive “treatment” for men suffering from ED. Also known as low-intensity focused shockwave therapy, it uses soundwaves to stimulate natural blood flow to the penis, without the use of drugs, surgery, or any other invasive products. The low-intensity sound waves are pulsed through the erectile tissue of the penis, which helps to restore natural erectile function and clear plaque out of the blood vessels in the penis, which thereby encourages better blood flow.

With Shockwave Therapy, you get to experience better erections and potentially more sensation during sexual activity.

And unlike pills, vacuum devices, penile injections, surgery, and other terrifyingly invasive “treatments” for ED, Shockwave Therapy is effective treatment because it focuses on the root of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Here’s what’s going on when you experience ED: When you become aroused, your brain sends messages to the blood vessels in the penis, causing them to open and allow for blood to flow into the penis. As the pressure builds inside, the blood becomes trapped in the tissues, keeping the penis erect. If blood flow to the penis fails to stay inside the tissues, or there is not enough blood flow, it can cause little to no erection and lead to erectile dysfunction.

SYMPTOMS OF ERECTILE
DYSFUNCTION INCLUDE

BUT WHAT CAUSES ED?

ED can be caused by a variety of different factors including your surroundings, physical well-being and psychological issues such as anxiety or depression.

A common cause, however, is the build-up of plaque. Plaque builds up very slowly so it can take years before you realize that you are needing to seek treatment. Once the plaque builds, blood can no longer make its way to the penis, making little to no erection.

Finally, there are certain lifestyle factors that might play a huge role in the onset of ED. Sex and the pleasure associated with it is both an emotional and physiological response. Mental or emotional issues might affect these natural responses and bring on conditions such as ED.
