Electromagnetic Shock Wave – Medical

Electromagnetic Shockwave Theory is the next cure for Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

The clinical term for electromagnetic shockwave therapy is low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT). It’s a noninvasive therapy that’s been used in orthopedics for years to help heal broken bones, injured ligaments, and injured tendons.

LiSWT has also been used to improve wound healing. Using targeted high-energy sound waves, LiSWT can speed up tissue repair and cell growth.

Erections rely on healthy blood flow to the penile tissue. Shockwave therapy is viewed favorably as a way of repairing and strengthening blood vessels in the penis and improving blood flow.

Increasing blood flow to the penis is the same goal as more traditional ED treatments, such as oral medications, including sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis).

Since shockwave therapy is considered an off-label, non-FDA-approved ED treatment, medical insurance likely won’t cover this procedure. The exact costs may vary by provider and location, with an average of $450 per session.

Thus, if a doctor recommends a twice-weekly regimen for 3 weeks at a time, the costs may potentially add up to around $2,700.

However, you may be able to work with your provider for ways to help reduce the cost of your treatment. Possible options include discounted bundle rates or monthly payment plans.

 

How long does shock wave therapy for ED last?

How long does Shockwave Therapy for ED last? Individual results will vary, however, some studies have shown that a positive response can last up to two years.

 

What is the success rate of shockwave therapy?

Current Shockwave Research

Double-blind, randomized, controlled studies, indicate up to 91% improvement with 84% success rate for numerous conditions. Shockwave therapy is a proven effective treatment supported by medical literature.

 

How quickly does shockwave work?

How long does it take shockwave therapy to work? From our own experience and the studies on shockwave therapy, most patients will feel a significant clinical benefit in their pain 6 to 8 weeks after treatment

 

How much does a session of shockwave therapy cost?

Shockwave therapy is a very cost-effective treatment for pain or muscle damage. The cost is between $400 to $500 per session, on average. This is the cost of standard low-energy treatment sessions. Low-energy treatment is cost-effective in comparison to the option of high-energy shockwaves.

 

What should you not do before Shockwave?

Your body responds by increasing the metabolic activity around the impacted area which in turn stimulates and accelerated the body’s own healing mechanisms. Therefore, do not use anti-inflammatory medication or cold therapy, as this will interfere with the body’s self-healing processes.

 

How deep does shockwave therapy penetrate?

The depth of penetration of radial waves varies based on energy input, but can reach up to 3.5 cm in human tissues.

 

How many times a week can you do shockwave therapy?

Most patients require three sessions of shockwave therapy, each a week apart, before significant pain relief is noticed. Some conditions may require five treatments. Your specialist will be able to discuss your particular case and expectations with you.

 

What happens after a shockwave?

The shockwave will trigger an inflammatory response, which is the body’s natural process of healing. For this reason, do not use anti-inflammatory medications. Do not use ice. The pain should subside within 24 hours.

 

Conclusion: Patients can benefit more in sexual performance from 12 sessions twice per week compared with 6 sessions once a week. Repeated up to a total of 18 sessions.
