OUR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

A multi-pronged approach is often most successful in treating erectile dysfunction. we evaluate each case of ED based on a four-pronged protocol:

  • Address chronic conditions (i.e. heart disease, obesity, sleep apnea and diabetes) that contribute to ED

  • Evaluate the possible role of hormone issues (i.e. low testosterone or Thyroid)

  • Optimize ED medications ( oral and injectable options)

  • Implement regenerative therapies like low-intensity shockwave therapy (aka GAINSWave) & the P-Shot

Getting Started With Gainswave/Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave/Gainswave Therapy

GAINSWave, also known as shockwave therapy, utilizes low-intensity sound waves to increase vascular networks and the endothelial function of blood vessels in the penis. Over forty published studies show low-intensity shockwave can improve the quality and firmness of erections and enhance responsiveness to medication.

The Role of Testosterone in ED

Because ED is primarily a vascular issue, not a hormonal one, the role of testosterone is not always a direct indication of a man’s erectile function. Testosterone levels are merely one variable that may contribute to this multi-variable condition. Our clinic works with patients to assess testosterone levels and determine appropriate treatments.

The P-Shot

The Priapus Shot, or P-Shot, harnesses the power of platelet-rich plasma to improve erectile function - enhancing penile sensation and improving vascularity (i.e. blood flow) often leading to more frequent, firmer and more easily maintained erections. The P-Shot is an extremely safe procedure and is commonly combined with shockwave therapy.

Peyronie's Disease

Peyronie’s Disease is the development of scar tissue or plaque inside the penis that causes curvature, painful erections and often contributes to erectile dysfunction. Our clinic offers a non-surgical approach, shockwave therapy. PRP is often combined with shockwave therapy.

FAQs

Is GAINSWave therapy covered by insurance?

GAINSWave or shockwave therapy is a well-evidenced treatment for erectile dysfunction. However this option is generally paid for out of pocket - i.e. not covered by insurance. For most specialty erectile dysfunction clinics (i.e. not a “med spa”) who use FDA-approved focused shockwave machines (do your research - technology matters), treatments average around $525 per session. Package discounts are often available. Our clinic accepts HSAs and Flexible Spending Accounts.

GAINSWave®, i.e. low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiEWST), is considered to be an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. Our clinic accepts HSAs and Flexible Spending Accounts.
