Shockwave is an innovative, non-invasive approach to medicine, using low-intensity shockwaves to improve blood flow and repair and rebuild damaged tissue. Many patients find this modality to have attractive benefits: no surgery, no medication, and a short office visit. So how do you know if shockwave is right for you?
The first step may be to identify your condition so you can better understand your treatment options. What are your symptoms? What’s causing them? How can shockwave or other non-invasive treatment modalities help? Here is some helpful information to help you along.
Shockwave is a non-invasive treatment that targets affected areas by stimulating the repair and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal, and vascular structures. Talk to a medical professional about shockwave as a treatment option for ED, Peyronie’s Disease and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
Treatment is performed right in the comfort of your physician’s office. A typical procedure includes 6-10 in-office sessions approximately 10-15 minutes each at two times per week (or bi-weekly intervals). Patients enjoy the additional benefits of shockwave that include:
What Shockwave Solutions Are Available for Urologic Conditions?
Erectile Dysfunction: Most ED cases are of vascular origin. Treatment involves applying shockwave to affected zones on the penis and on the perineum.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: Shockwave is performed using a perineal approach, treating the prostate and the pelvic floor.
Peyronie's Disease: For Peyronie’s Disease cases of vascular origin, shockwave provides exceptional efficiency as the result of its extensive energy range and therapeutic focal depth, meaning deep target areas can often be effectively treated.
Yes. Shockwave treatment is evidence-based, meaning there is extensive medical evidence supporting its effectiveness as a treatment option for a wide variety of medical conditions (such as the ones listed above). Additionally, it has been used extensively and very successfully around the world for the treatment of urological issues.
Shockwave treatment has actually been around since the 1980s, when it was first used to disintegrate kidney stones without surgical intervention. Since then, the technologies have continued to evolve and expand in multi-discipline medicine. That’s why a growing number of patients are turning to this treatment option so they can feel better faster, without the risk or downtime associated with surgery.
