Acoustic Wave Therapy (LI-ESWT)

One of the key factors of healthy sexual function in men requires unrestricted blood flow to the sexual organ. As we age, the body simultaneously begins to develop less new blood vessels while micro-plaque begins to develop in those vessels, resulting in mild to severe sexual health issues. While pills and injections may provide temporary relief to restricted blood flow, they do not address the root causes of that restricted blood flow, resulting in perpetual sexual dysfunction. Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT), also known as low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT), is an all-natural, medically proven treatment to improve male sexual function. The procedure breaks up micro-plaque formation in the blood vessels and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels. This vastly increases the blood flow to the sexual organ, resulting in improved sensitivity, rigidity and girth for enhanced sexual health that will last years, not hours. 
how does it work?
Acoustic Wave Therapy uses low intensity sound waves (vibrations) that carry energy. These vibrations travel through the skin to the affected area. The low intensity acoustic waves breaks up micro-plaque in the blood vessels while causing micro trauma. The micro trauma induces a healing response in the body that stimulates the release of growth factors to stimulate neovascularization, or the growth of new blood vessels.
Acoustic Wave Therapy
The removal of micro-plaque allows blood to flow unrestricted, while the generation of new blood vessels increases the channels by which blood is delivered to the sexual organ. This combination allows more blood to be directed to the penis, enabling men to achieve spontaneous, more robust and powerful erections. 

AWT is a proven, drug free treatment offering an effective and safe alternative for men who prefer not to be reliant on pills or cannot take oral ED medications due to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or for those whose bodies are no longer responsive to ED medications.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Each AWT session starts with a topical numbing solution applied to the affected area for 15-20 minutes prior to treatment. Due to the fact that erectile tissues extend beyond the area of the penis, numbing solution and treatment will include the area under the testicles and up to the perineum. However, patients who have had prostate cancer will not be treated with AWT in the perineum region. 
What to expect graphic
Based on your health and personal pain response, the frequency level of the acoustic waves will be modulated to maximize comfort. Most patients have reported the treatment being relatively painless. The effects of the numbing solution typically wears off between two and a half to four hours. Depending on your current health status and the severity of your current condition, you may be prescribed anywhere from six to twenty-four treatments, with treatment frequency either once or twice a week during the treatment period.
