ED is not “normal” at any age. There is no reason that getting older should prohibit an active sex life.

Men interested in better erections and sexual performance may see improvement with one of the newest treatments for ED.  Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction uses soundwaves waves to increase blood flow in the penis, so there’s no surgery, drugs, or invasive procedures.

What is Shockwave Therapy for ED?

Studies have shown that low energy shock wave therapy can improve the response to oral medicines for erectile dysfunction. It may also provide some return of spontaneous erections by increasing blood flow to the penis.

How does Shockwave Therapy for ED work?

High-frequency sound waves are applied to the penis to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and possibly break down plaque build-up in existing vessels.  Low blood flow is the root cause of ED, and increasing blood flow using shockwave therapy may produce better erections and sexual performance.

How long does Shockwave Therapy for ED last?

Individual results will vary, however, some studies have shown that a positive response can last up to two years.

What does Shockwave Therapy for ED feel like?

Prior to treatment patients will apply a numbing gel to the penis. Most patients say it feels like a light tapping or tingling sensation and do not experience pain.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

After patients apply the numbing gel and it takes effect, shockwaves will be directed to various areas around the shaft and base of the penis. Typically, treatment sessions will last about 15 to 20 minutes.
