What is shockwave therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) and other men’s urological disorders. Treatment uses high-energy, acoustic waves to stimulate the healing of soft tissues and improve blood circulation.

Vantage Health and Wellness offers personalized shockwave therapy plans for adult men. The skilled providers use the Duolith-SD1 shockwave therapy system from Storz Medical to treat ED and other conditions with a high level of precision.

Why would I need shockwave therapy?

You may be a candidate for shockwave therapy if you have one or more conditions that affect your physical, sexual, or reproductive wellness.

The Vantage Health and Wellness team may recommend shockwave treatments to address:

Erectile dysfunction

ED describes an inability to achieve or maintain an erection that’s firm enough for sex. This condition affects men of all ages and may stem from poor blood circulation in the penis, psychological stress, or age-related urological changes.

Peyronie’s disease

Peyronie’s disease is a progressive condition that causes a curvature in the penis. The disease can cause pain or urination difficulties and ultimately contribute to ED.

Chronic pelvic pain

Chronic pelvic pain can be the result of dysfunction in a man’s prostate, pelvic floor organs, or soft tissues. Pelvic pain can also result from bladder or kidney infections and other urological issues.

The medical specialists complete a comprehensive health evaluation to identify the cause of your symptoms and determine if shockwave therapy is an option for treatment.

What happens during a shockwave therapy session?

During your appointment at Vantage Health and Wellness, your provider places a handheld shockwave device in the treatment area. The device sends acoustic waves through your skin without harming surrounding tissue.

The waves of energy penetrate the inner tissues and trigger your body’s natural healing response. Extra blood flows to the treatment area to support the healing of damaged soft tissues. The increased blood circulation also helps improve the quality of your erections.

Shockwave sessions typically take 20 minutes or less, depending on the condition being treated. Immediately after the session, you can resume your usual activities without any downtime.

The team may recommend additional shockwave sessions to achieve the best treatment outcomes. They also continue to monitor your progress with shockwave therapy to ensure its effectiveness.
