If you’re struggling with erectile dysfunction (ED), you’re not alone. We can determine if low-intensity shockwave therapy (LISWT) is right for you.
Have you been struggling with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease, or penile shrinkage, and traditional oral medications aren’t working for you? Then it’s time to explore other treatment options, like low-intensity shockwave therapy at our clinic. We’re dedicated to helping men of all ages be able to achieve an erection again, further improving their confidence and relationships. Let’s discuss if this treatment is right for you.
Difficulty achieving or maintaining a firm erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse can harm partnerships, sexual health, and happiness. For those who haven’t found success with other ED treatments, LISWT may be an option. Our clinic utilizes the FDA-approved Storz Duolith SD1 T-TOP device, which delivers low-intensity shockwaves to the penis via a handheld tool. This process can stimulate blood vessel growth and repair, ultimately improving circulation and even encouraging the release of growth factors and enhancing tissue elasticity.
Did you know that, in Canada, Statistics show approximately 3 million Canadian men experience erectile dysfunction, affecting roughly 40% of men over 40 years of age? This prevalence increases with age, with about 70% of men over 70 reporting some degree of ED. Despite being so widespread, many men still hesitate to discuss this condition with healthcare providers due to embarrassment or stigma. However, ED can be an important indicator of overall health, potentially signalling underlying conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances.
If you or someone you know is experiencing ED, remember that you’re not alone, and effective solutions are available through a simple conversation with your doctor. Don’t continue to suffer in silence – there are many treatment options available, from oral medications to more innovative options, like LISWT. If traditional options are not working for you, LISWT treatment sessions are quick and non-invasive, and are no longer than 20 minutes.
Guelph Vitality Clinic is committed to helping men in Brant and surrounding neighborhoods access high-quality ED treatment in a professional and confidential environment. Whether you’re living nearby or visiting from another Guelph community, we’re here to support your journey to better health.
This treatment option has been used since 2010, and there is no known pain involved. As mentioned above, the theory behind this treatment is that shock waves stimulate the creation of new blood vessels through micro-trauma.
LISWT is recognized for its lack of side effects, making it an attractive treatment choice.
This therapy addresses the root causes of ED without the need for drugs or surgery, unless discussed with your physician.
Erectile Dysfunction: Typically involves 6 sessions over 3 weeks, with each session lasting about 20 minutes.
Peyronie’s Disease: Usually requires 10 sessions over 5 weeks, with two 15-minute sessions per week.
ED is a prevalent condition where men consistently find it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfying sexual activity. This occurs when the normal erection process is interrupted, often due to issues affecting blood flow, nerve function, or hormone levels. Ultimately, ED can stem from a combination of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors that disrupt the healthy functioning of the body’s vascular and nervous systems.
Peyronie’s Disease involves the formation of fibrous scar tissue, known as plaques, within the tunica albuginea, the penis’ tough outer layer. This abnormal tissue buildup can cause significant penile curvature and pain during erections, frequently impacting sexual performance and overall quality of life. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, Peyronie’s Disease is commonly associated with minor, repeated injuries to the penis. These micro-injuries can initiate an irregular healing process, leading to scar tissue development. Ultimately, a mix of factors can contribute to this condition.
