Zimmer Shockwave DeviceShockwave Therapy for ED – Charlotte, NC

With the RenewWave™ erectile dysfunction treatment,  acoustic soundwaves (also known as shockwaves) break down micro-plaque formations that many men develop in their blood vessels with age. The shockwaves also stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis (angiogenesis). Better blood flow promotes stronger, harder and more sustainable erections and enhances sensitivity.

This technology is sometimes referred to as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT). Along with better blood flow, men experience a rejuvenation of erectile tissue in the penis. Dr. Croland uses the Storz Duolith focused shock wave technology as well as the Zimmer Enpuls radial wave technology.

RenewWave is a revolutionary erectile dysfunction treatment as well as an excellent option for men of all ages seeking enhanced erections and improved sexual performance. A consultation with Dr. Croland can help determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. RenewWave has helped many men with the following symptoms:

  • An inability to achieve erections
  • Erections too soft for penetration
  • Erections too brief for sustained penetration
  • Curved or painful erections due to Peyronie’s disease

While this new modality is an excellent erectile dysfunction treatment, men with normal sexual function who want to enhance their function and performance can also enjoy the benefits as well as  the P-Shot!

FAQs About Acoustic Wave Treatment

Shock wave therapy, also known as low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT), is a non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). The therapy uses sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis, aiding in the achievement and maintenance of an erection.

The Storz Duolith is a focused shockwave device that generates low-intensity shock waves that are applied to the penile tissue. These shock waves stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and improve blood flow, which can help enhance erectile function.

Men with mild to moderate ED who have not responded well to traditional treatments such as oral medications may be good candidates for shock wave therapy. Men with more advanced pathology (ie. long standing diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) are more challenging and may require multiple types of combined treatments. It is important to undergo a thorough medical evaluation to determine if this therapy is appropriate for you.

During a session, Dr. Croland will apply a gel to the treatment area and use the the Focused or Radial device to deliver energy to the penis. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes and is generally painless.

The typical treatment protocol involves several sessions, usually one time per week, for a total of six to twelve sessions. Dr. Croland will develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Shock wave therapy is considered safe with minimal side effects. Although extremely rare, some men may experience minor bruising, redness, or swelling in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days.

Many patients report improvements in erectile function within a few weeks of starting treatment. However, the full benefits of the therapy may take up to three months to become apparent.

Currently, most insurance plans do not cover shock wave therapy for ED as it is considered an elective or experimental procedure.

Shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) has been in use for approximately 10-15 years. It was initially developed and used in Europe and has gradually gained popularity worldwide as a non-invasive treatment option for ED. Clinical studies and trials began to surface around the early 2010s, and since then, the therapy has been increasingly adopted in medical practices, particularly for patients who have not responded well to traditional ED treatments.

Yes, shock wave therapy can be combined with other ED treatments such as oral medications, vacuum erection devices, Platelet Rich Plasma and penile injections. Dr. Croland can discuss the best combination of treatments for your condition.

The duration of the effects can vary among individuals. Some men may experience long-lasting improvements, while others might need periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits.

The success rate of shock wave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) varies based on several factors, including the severity of ED, patient health, and specific protocols used. Clinical studies and patient reports indicate that the success rate can range from 60% to 80%.

Here are some key points from various studies:

  1. Mild to Moderate ED: Patients with mild to moderate ED often experience higher success rates, sometimes reaching up to 80%.
  2. Severe ED: Success rates for patients with severe ED tend to be lower, often around 60%.
  3. Long-term Results: Many patients report sustained improvements in erectile function for up to one year after treatment, although maintenance sessions may be necessary for prolonged benefits.
  4. Combination Therapy: Success rates may improve when shock wave therapy is combined with other ED treatments, such as oral medications or lifestyle changes.

It’s important to note that individual responses to treatment can vary, and a thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine the potential effectiveness for each patient.
