Shockwave therapy, root-cause by design.

Shockwave therapy — also called low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy or acoustic wave therapy — uses pulsed acoustic waves to clear arterial plaque, widen blood vessels, and stimulate angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. By restoring blood flow, it addresses the vascular root cause of erectile dysfunction rather than masking the symptom.

A typical course is about 6 to 12 treatments, spaced over several weeks. The exact number depends on the severity of your ED and your response, which we assess as we go. Many men see results that last up to 2 to 3 years.

No. The treatment is non-invasive, with no incisions and no medications, and there is minimal downtime — most men resume daily activities right away. Patients report little to no side effects, which is part of why so many prefer it to surgery.

Shockwave therapy is generally suitable for men roughly 35 to 75 years old whose erectile dysfunction has a vascular component. It can also be used to treat the plaque of Peyronie’s disease. We confirm candidacy with an evaluation before beginning a course.

Oral medications like sildenafil and tadalafil improve blood flow temporarily for a single occasion. Shockwave therapy works on the underlying vasculature itself — clearing plaque and growing new vessels — so the benefit can last for years rather than hours, without taking a pill each time.
