Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy: Harnessing the Body's Healing Power
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. It can effectively relieve pain and promote healing in injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues by encouraging the release of growth factors. Shockwave therapy is commonly used to address chronic conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, such as:
- Achilles tendinopathy (pain in the tendon connecting the back of the foot to the calf muscle)
- Plantar fasciitis (pain in the underside of the foot)
- Golfer’s/tennis elbow (pain on the outer side of the elbow
How does shock wave therapy work for erectile dysfunction?
With several million people affected worldwide, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a widespread condition with a variety of causes. Along with stress, psychological distress and high blood pressure, reduced blood circulation is one of the main organic causes. Here, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a low-pain, effective and non-invasive treatment option.
Conventional forms of therapy often only treat symptoms. In addition, interactions can occur or spontaneity may be limited. Shock wave therapy, on the other hand, focuses on a causal approach. For example, ESWT stimulates blood flow in the penis, which can lead to an improvement in erectile function:
Studies have shown that ESWT in vascular erectile dysfunction causes an increase in local metabolism and promotes increased blood flow and formation of new blood vessels.
80% of erectile dysfunction patients respond favorably to shockwave therapy for ED after an initial series of 5-6 treatments over a 3 month period
