Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction in Jacksonville, FL

Dealing with ED can feel like a major impediment to the life you want to lead.

Our new, non-invasive ED treatments are allowing patients to get their lives back.

A common concern among many men — especially those above the age of 50 — is erectile dysfunction. It can cause dissatisfaction, embarrassment, and even problems within a relationship. Fortunately, there are ways to solve erectile dysfunction without the need for pills, needles, or undesirable side effects. Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave treatment (LI-ESWT), also known as shockwave therapy, is a noninvasive treatment designed to solve the problem of erectile dysfunction, as well as improve sexual performance. Our talented team at Kasraeian Urology is highly experienced in using this nonsurgical ED treatment to help men of virtually all ages. Contact our office in Jacksonville, FL to speak with Dr. Ahmad Kasraeian or Dr. Ali Kasraeian to learn more about this groundbreaking procedure that can treated ED without pills and other downsides.

A personalized shockwave therapy plan created by Drs. Kasraeian can dramatically reduce ED and improve quality of life with a number of great benefits that include:

• Helps to achieve firmer, fuller erections
• Can enhance sexual performance
• Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels
• Also effective for Peyronie’s disease
• No surgery, medications, or injections
• Quick, pain-free procedure
• Results can be seen in as little as two treatments
• Results are long-lasting
• No downtime

While erectile dysfunction is often linked to middle-aged men, it can affect men as young as their 20s. Shockwave therapy can be an incredibly effective, drug-free solution for various conditions.

You may be a good candidate for shockwave therapy if you are:

• Experiencing ED due to inadequate blood flow to the penis
• Suffering from Peyronie's disease and want to eliminate scar tissue and reduce penile curvature
• Seeking male enhancement without the use of drugs or surgery

To determine if this treatment is right for you, it's best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kasraeian to discuss your specific needs and goals.

During shockwave therapy, low-intensity shockwaves are sent directly into the penis using a handheld device, as well as gel. It is considered a painless procedure, meaning patients will not likely require the use of an anesthetic. However, most patients do report feeling a light tingling sensation in the targeted area throughout the course of the treatment. During this time, Dr. Kasraeian will be applying a designated amount of shocks per minute to the penis. These shocks serve to eliminate micro-plaque in existing blood vessels and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, which in turn, increases the flow of blood throughout the area. In total, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction usually takes around 15 – 20 minutes until completion. Many of our patients report noticing improvements in their performance and erections within only two treatments, though results will vary from person to person.

There is no downtime or recovery period after a shockwave therapy for ED treatment sessions. Patients are able to drive themselves home and can typically go right back to their normal activities unless otherwise advised by Dr. Kasraeian. Some patients may experience mild soreness, tenderness, or bruising, but this is atypical and usually short-lived and easily controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers (always consult your doctor). While some patients may see results in as little as a week or two, most will see improving benefits over 1 – 3 months.

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is typically not covered by insurance, as it is generally considered an elective or investigational treatment. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, do not currently classify shockwave therapy as a covered benefit for ED. Because of this, treatment is often offered on a self-pay basis. That said, our team believes in transparency and will review pricing, package options, and payment plans with you ahead of time. We will also help you understand whether any related evaluations or diagnostic testing may be covered under your plan.

What causes erectile dysfunction?
There are many possible causes of ED, but the most common triggers include hormone changes, nerve damage, heart disease, and diabetes. Stress or anxiety can also lead to problems getting or maintaining an erection. Shockwave therapy performed at our Jacksonville, FL facility can help treat ED in an easy and noninvasive way.

What is the shockwave therapy recovery process like?
Because shockwave therapy does not call for incisions, medications, or sedation, people may resume their usual activities after their procedure. No required healing makes this shockwave treatment a great solution for people suffering from ED (erectile dysfunction).

How long do shockwave therapy outcomes last?
The enhancements provided by shockwave therapy are long-lasting. Numerous men note that their outcomes remain for roughly one year. Generally, we advise a set of six sessions over one month to see great outcomes. Our team frequently sets up treatments twice weekly for two weeks in a row.

Should I try over-the-counter ED products or prescription pills?
Certain over-the-counter treatments or prescriptions for erectile dysfunction may help you get and keep an erection. However, these products may cause unwanted side effects. In the case of over-the-counter remedies, these are not always regulated and clinically tested. Shockwave therapy addresses your ED at the root of the problem and can improve sexual function with minimal or no side effects.

How much does shockwave therapy cost?
The price of shockwave therapy will vary from patient to patient depending on a number of factors. During your consultation, our staff will listen to your concerns and assess your situation to create a personal treatment plan. At that point, we’ll be able to provide a more accurate cost estimate.

Can shockwave therapy replace surgery?
In many cases, shockwave therapy offers a nonsurgical alternative for managing chronic pain and injuries. While it may not replace surgery for severe conditions, it can often delay or eliminate the need for invasive procedures.

Recent studies have shown how LiESWT appears to be safe, has moderate efficacy in improving penile curvature and pain, and is associated with a high level of patient satisfaction rate. See the study by clicking the link below:
