Erectile Dysfunction
Shockwave Therapy is a safe, non-invasive “treatment” for men suffering from ED. Also known as low-intensity focused shockwave therapy, it uses soundwaves to stimulate natural blood flow to the penis, without the use of drugs, surgery, or any other invasive products. The low-intensity sound waves are pulsed through the erectile tissue of the penis, which helps to restore natural erectile function and clear plaque out of the blood vessels in the penis, which thereby encourages better blood flow. With Shockwave Therapy, you get to experience better erections and potentially more sensation during sexual activity.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), also known as shockwave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective treatment method for musculoskeletal conditions. If left untreated, repetitive movements can gradually damage our musculoskeletal system, just like how a knife dulls over time. Someone who is damaging or injuring their body may not feel it immediately, but eventually, all the repetitive stress can take its toll on the body. Little by little, the tissues in our body break down over time. The body responds to the damage by restoring injured tissue through a regeneration process. But at the rate that people use their bodies, the body often finds it difficult to catch up. There often isn’t enough time to rest and heal the damaged tissue, so the damage continues to build up. What shockwave therapy does is that it accelerates the tissue regeneration process. Instead of being forced to take long breaks to give the body time to regenerate tissue, shockwave therapy can help speed up recovery. After just a couple of sessions of shockwave therapy, the body’s tissues can heal completely.

The nickname “shockwave therapy” tells us that the treatment uses shockwaves. But what does that actually mean? And is it safe?
First off — yes, the treatment is safe.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive procedure. With shockwave therapy:
No surgery is needed
No anesthesia is required
There’s no risk of infection
With shockwave therapy, no sharp objects are used and sessions usually last less than 10 minutes. EPAT Therapy is quick, easy, and incredibly effective. Shockwaves are “high-energy sound impulses”, which means shockwave therapy works through the use of sound waves. By releasing these sound waves into the treatment area, the metabolism and blood circulation are improved, which stimulates the body’s self-healing repair mechanism.
-
Yes, it does. And there is a lot of research to back it up.
Shockwave therapy can help with:
Tendon disorders
Cellulite
Knee replacements
Carpal tunnel syndrome
And much more
Partt of our integrative process is using safe and effective treatment methods like EPAT therapy. Our patients have had a lot of success with this treatment option, which is why we continue to recommend it.

During the treatment, patients will sometimes feel some discomfort in the treatment area, a pain which is often described as “small pulses against the skin”. Now, the word “shockwave” isn’t exactly the most comforting of medical terms, but shockwave therapy is generally painless.
