Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, or ESWT, is non-surgical and non-invasive solution for erectile dysfunction and/or Peyronie’s disease.
Using sounds waves, ESWT stimulates regenerative cells, increases angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels), and stimulates the release of nitric oxide.
All of these factors help improve erectile dysfunction and enhance sexual function.
In regards to Peyronie’s Disease, ESWT treatments can assist for a straighter, firmer erection by decreasing inflammation, increasing circulation and remodeling scar tissue.
