Real Shockwave Therapy for
Erectile Dysfunction & Peyronie's Disease
We are answering your hard question!
Sexual health is an important aspect of leading a healthy and happy life. An active sex life is not only superficially pleasurable it also improves many aspects of an adult’s wellbeing, including mental resilience, ability to resist illness, physical proficiency and longevity.
Erectile performance can become compromised through a variety of factors and also as men age. The reasons are many and the solutions need to be tailored accordingly.
Erectile dysfunction is often the result of diminished blood flow in the penis. This condition can be treated with focused shockwave which causes the blood vessels and nerves in and around the penis to regenerate.
At Shockwave Therapy Center we use only focused Shockwave (premium German technology) to treat erectile dysfunction. We have been operating on the Sunshine Coast for over 10 years and have been refining our treatment protocols to achieve optimum results for our clients.
achieve breakthrough results.
How does focused Shockwave Therapy help men with Erectile Dysfunction?
Shockwave Therapy uses energy from acoustic waves to trigger a process called neovascularization in certain parts of the body. When neovascularization occurs, new blood vessels form. This helps improve blood flow to the region. This type of therapy has been used to help heart patients, people with kidney stones, and those with fractures and joint inflammation. Recently, scientists have investigated low-intensity shockwave therapy to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED). Blood flow is critical for an erection. When a man is sexually stimulated, arteries widen so that his penis can fill with blood. The blood is what gives the penis the firmness needed for vaginal penetration. A man who has problems with blood flow to the penis may have weaker erections or may be unable to have erections at all.
There are several types of treatments available to men with ED, including pills, vacuum erection devices, and penile injections. However, these therapies are typically conducted on an as-needed basis and may work for only one sexual encounter at a time. Shockwave therapy is different, as it targets the erectile mechanism so that men are more likely to have erections on their own.

The treatment
Focused Shockwave Therapy is applied to the penis, which is coated in a special gel. Different areas of the penis are usually targeted. Treatment sessions may last for approx. twenty minutes. Men usually don’t experience pain, although they might have a tingling sensation in the treated area.
Clinical trials of focused Shockwave Therapy for ED have had very good results. Many men have found that their erections have improved and they are able to have intercourse.

Conclusions of the above trial:
"Low Intensity - Extracorporeal SWT (LI-ESWT) is a revolutionary treatment of ED, and possesses unprecedented qualities that can rehabilitate erectile tissue. The clinical improvement in subjective erectile function together with the significant improvement in penile hemodynamics following LI-ESWT confirm that LI-ESWT has unique properties that may create a new standard of care for men with ED. LI-ESWT is both feasible and tolerable and without any adverse or unwanted effects. Its main advantage is its ability to improve and potentially restore erectile function in men with ED without additional pharmacotherapy. Hence, LI-ESWT is an appealing addition to the armamentarium of existing treatment options for ED. In the near future we hope that LI-ESWT will be used for the long-term clinical management of ED either as an alternative or as an enhancer to the current treatments of ED."
