Shockwave for ED

The short answer is yes, but it is not the best option for every man.

To be a candidate you must be able to obtain about 40% of a full erection with or without medications like Viagra.

If you are not able to obtain any amount of erection even when taking a medication like Viagra or Cialis then Li-SWL for ED is not the ideal treatment option for you.

For men who can achieve at least 40% of an erection then Li-SWL will be beneficial for you. An evaluation in clinic is necessary to give the most accurate estimate of how benefical the treatment will be for you.

The cost for a single session of 3000 shocks is $500.

‍

Li-SWL requires a series of multiple treatments, typically 12 total. Two per week for six weeks.

Our current price for a 12 treatment session package is $5000.

‍

Patients may continue to have maintenance sessions weekly or monthly to help maintain the effect.

A three treatment maintenance package is $1200 or $500 for an individual session.

This is different than Gainswave, and that is a very good thing.

‍

The original Gainswave device used a type of shockwave called a "radial wave". Research has since shown that this does not help improve erections.

Newer devices use "linear wave" technology that is truly Low Intensity Shockwave therapy or Li-SWT. Our Storz Duolith utilizes electrohydraulic Li-SWT, and was selected for use by our practice for two reasons. 1) A large amount of published research that shows it is an effective device. 2) Major research centers are utilizing it for their own practices. We evaluated every device that had major research supporting its use, and found that the Storz Duolith represented the most effective device for our patients.

Weekly PRP injections for ED has shown good results.

‍

At this time we are evaluating PRP options for use with and without shockwave therapy for ED.
