Traitement par ondes de choc focalisées pour la dysfonction érectile — à quelques minutes de Gatineau. Consultation initiale gratuite et confidentielle. Service offert en français et en anglais. Appelez le 888-558-9283.
FocusWave Clinic offers focused shockwave therapy (FSWT) for erectile dysfunction — non-invasive, drug-free, and aimed at the circulation problem underlying most cases rather than temporarily masking it.
Our clinic sits on Carling Avenue in Ottawa, a short drive across the river from Hull, Aylmer, the Gatineau sector, Buckingham and Masson-Angers. From downtown Hull, it is roughly fifteen to twenty minutes via the Portage or Chaudière bridges. Consultations and treatment are available in French and English.

Erectile Dysfunction Is Usually a Circulation Problem
Erections depend on healthy arteries and a healthy endothelium — the vessel lining that signals blood flow to increase. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, smoking and inactivity gradually degrade that system.
This is why erectile difficulty deserves attention as a health signal, not just a private frustration. The arteries supplying erectile tissue are narrower than the coronary arteries and often show damage first, sometimes years ahead of any cardiac symptom. If you have not had your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol checked recently, that is worth doing with your family doctor or at a GMF in Gatineau regardless of what you decide about treatment.
How Focused Shockwave Therapy Works
Oral medications amplify a nitric oxide signal your body must still produce on its own. They help many men, but they do not repair tissue.
Focused low-intensity shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic pulses into the erectile tissue to stimulate:
- Angiogenesis — growth factor release supporting new microvessel formation
- Endothelial repair — improved function of the lining that regulates blood flow
- Tissue remodelling — regenerative activity in the erectile tissue itself
Sessions last about 20 minutes. No anaesthetic, no recovery time, no restriction on driving or activity afterwards. Results develop over weeks rather than hours.
Focused, Not Radial
We use the Storz Medical DUOLITH SD1, a focused electromagnetic device. Focused shockwaves concentrate energy at a specific tissue depth, while radial devices disperse pressure waves near the surface. Clinical trials in erectile dysfunction have overwhelmingly used focused equipment — a distinction worth asking about when comparing clinics on either side of the river.
Honest Expectations
Focused LI-ESWT has been studied in randomised controlled trials and meta-analyses for vasculogenic erectile dysfunction, with evidence supporting meaningful improvement for many men — particularly those with milder to moderate disease and reasonably preserved vascular health.
Response is less consistent in men with severe long-standing disease, poorly controlled diabetes, or nerve injury including after prostate surgery. Benefits are not permanent for everyone. Our assessment exists to tell you whether you are a reasonable candidate, including when the honest answer is that your time and money are better spent elsewhere first.
What to Expect
- Complimentary assessment — your history, medications, cardiovascular risk factors and what you have already tried
- Baseline measurement — a standardised erectile function score so progress can be measured objectively
- Treatment sessions — roughly 20 minutes, no downtime
- Reassessment — we re-measure and discuss next steps candidly
Early morning, evening and weekend appointments are available to suit a commute across the river. See our pricing and financing options.
A Note for Quebec Residents
Focused shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is not covered by RAMQ, and our clinic operates in Ontario. Private insurance coverage varies — some extended health plans reimburse a portion, and we can provide receipts for you to submit. We are happy to explain what to expect on cost at your free assessment, with no obligation.
Discretion
Some men prefer being treated outside their own community. Our clinic is a private medical setting, appointments are confidential, and treatment leaves no visible sign.
