About Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses focused shockwaves to stimulate the body's natural healing process by promoting neovascularization - the formation of new blood vessels. Clearing blocked blood vessels, the removal of calcifications, plaque and scar tissue, and improving circulation are the key results of successful treatment. The process was initially used to perform lithotripsy to destroy kidney stones without surgery.

You may see many different terms used for shockwave therapy, including ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), acoustic wave therapy, radial shockwave therapy, and focused/linear shockwave therapy (F-SW). However, not all shockwave therapies are the same. Only focused shockwave therapy devices are approved to be used by the regulatory body for treating sexual health conditions. Focused shockwave treatment provides a targeted treatment that reaches the cellular level of your condition.

There are various benefits to choosing focused shockwave treatment over other types of shockwave treatment options. Focused shockwave treatment is a non-invasive, painless procedure that doesn't require any numbing creams. Most of our patients can return to their daily activities once they are through with the treatment. Some additional benefits include:

At FocusWave Clinic, we use the Storz Medical DUOLITH SD1. This machine was made in Switzerland by the pioneers of the modality and is considered the industry standard. We're the only clinic in the area with this type of machine. So, when we say you can't find treatment like this anywhere else, we mean it. Our device produces shockwaves that travel 1,500 meters per second through a wand that is gently pressed along the affected area.
