Frequently Asked Questions
*Individual results may vary
One of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction is when a man has a lack of blood flow to the penis. When a man becomes erect arteries increase in size and rush blood flow to the penis. The blood gives the penis rigidity and firmness. If there is a problem with blood flow to the penis this can lead to a weaker or inconsistent erection.
Shockwave Therapy uses low intensity shock wave therapy. We use our specialized protocol and energy settings to give the most optimal results. Low intensity shock wave therapy uses energy from acoustic waves to trigger a process called neovascularization in the penis. When neovascularization occurs, new blood vessels form. This helps improve blood flow to the erect penis to help with firmness, and more spontaneous erections.
According to studies on low intensity wave therapy there is up to a 70% rate of success in selected men that undergo treatment. The best results are from men that have erectile dysfunction which is either mild or moderate.* This means that Shockwave Therapy works on men that are on pills or that pills no longer work.
Low Intensity wave therapy has been shown to convert men that no longer respond to oral medication to respond once again.
It can also strengthen the erections of men that have the beginning signs of erectile dysfunction and may allow other men to stop taking their oral medication.
Low intensity wave therapy can also help strengthen erections in men that are using injection therapy.*
Unlike some traditional low intensity wave therapies, Shockwave Therapy is painless.* There may be a sense of tingling in penis during treatment.
Low intensity shock waves have been utilized world wide to treat thousands of men in cardiology, orthopedics and urology with a long safety record. As with any treatment there are some risks, but they are rare.*
For most patients Shockwave Therapy is all they will need for more natural and firm erections.* Our Shockwave Therapy providers are all Urologist and Sexual Medicine physicians. Depending on your particular situation, your Shockwave provider will take an in depth look at the causes of your erectile dysfunction and your testosterone status. Depending on your severity they may also add other therapies to further improve your results.
It is important to investigate who is performing your therapy. Not all physicians specialize or understand how to treat erectile dysfunction.
Shockwave Therapy providers are all physicians that are Urologists or have specialized training in Sexual Medicine. This means that all of our providers have an extensive background in treating erectile dysfunction. This is important because ED can also be caused by other problems that may need to be investigated or addressed.

Shockwave Therapy is a great solution for men that are interested in firmer and more sensitive erections. It works best on men that have vasculogenic erectile dysfunction meaning a problem with blood flow to the penis.* This means that these men are more likely to have ED caused by older age, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, high cholesterol, and smoking. It also helps men that are on oral medications and those that their oral therapy no longer work.*
Shockwave Therapy may not work for everyone and results will vary.
