If you’re a man who’s experienced repeated instances of being unable to sustain an erection, you want to know what’s causing it. Most of all, you’re seeking effective treatment. Perhaps you’ve tried Viagra® or Cialis® but the pills didn’t have the desired effect.
Our board-certified radiologists with REDI Diagnostics Corp in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, are now using acoustic therapy treatment, also known as low-intensity shock wave treatments (LiSWT) to restore erectile function.
Although acoustic therapy treatment isn’t yet approved by the FDA, recent NIH studies say that it may become a new standard of care for men with ED. Our team is specially trained to perform this noninvasive, painless treatment.
LiSWT may eventually replace standard ED treatments. The older treatments are more invasive. They interrupt instead of support intimate moments between you and your partner.
One current method of treating ED is injecting medication into the side of your penis. You’re trained to perform the injections yourself, which can be painful. Another method uses a vacuum device that draws blood into your penis, but you also need to place an elastic ring at the base of your penis to maintain the erection.
You lie on a table and your board-certified radiologist places a hand-held, wand-like device near areas on your penis. Your provider moves the wand along your penis. You’ll feel gentle pulses. The treatment takes approximately 15 minutes.
If your ED is the result of poor blood flow to your penis, LiSWT may work well for you. It’s a simple, noninvasive, and painless procedure. It’s been used previously to help heal wounds because it speeds cell growth and tissue repair. The treatment helps initiate the development of new blood vessels that bring important nutrients to your penis.
If your ED stems from another cause such as cancer, nerve damage, or depression, this treatment may not work for you.
The average length of treatment is six sessions in six weeks, with each treatment spaced one week apart. You may need more or fewer treatments depending on your ED, and you may need a maintenance appointment in the future. Results can last up to two years.
