Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Gold Coast
Shockwave therapy has been proven to successfully treat ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION !
Shockwave therapy (SWT) is commonly used to treat tendinopathies, arthritis pain, lower back pain and more with huge success rates.
But now, our sexual health physio is now using it to treat men with erectile dysfunction.
– It is non-invasive
- you don’t require a referral
- It doesn’t involve drugs and
- There is no risk of infection or complication a there is with surgery
How does this work?
The Shockwave device works by using acoustic shockwaves at a low frequency. This helps to initiate a healing response in the body, continuing even when treatment has ceased.
This healing response results in:
- Enhanced growth factors
- Increased cell proliferation in the tissue
- New blood vessel formation
- Increased blood flow and delivery of nutrients to the penile shaft.
And this leads to, better, longer and stronger erections! The shockwaves are delivered by a non-invasive, hydraulic hand held device transmitted to focussed points along the base and shaft of the penis.
Treatment involves up to 10,000 pulses in one session and generally lasts from 20-30minutues. Number of treatments is decided upon in the initial consultation.
