Tip 6/30 - Throw the Kitchen Sink at your problem The patients who have the best results with shockwave therapy typically throw the Kitchen Sink at the problem. At FocusWave Clinic, we always recommend patients be their own best advocate.  No one cares about your sexual health as much as you should. The suggestions from the allopathic medical community usually involve drugs, injections or surgery - and we want you to avoid these at all costs.   It should be noted that these options are also not 100% guaranteed to work, and the side effects and risks are very real. And so while shockwave is an amazing modality, we never stop there.  At FocusWave we use the Kitchen Sink strategy.  We throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.   Shockwave, Nutrition, Fitness, Supplements, Sex Therapy, Functional Medicine, Treatment Devices. Who cares what works - let’s try it all. For Erectile Dysfunction patients, we strongly encourage changes to improve vascular health (nutrition, fitness, sleep, stress, lifestyle) and the abandonment of non-natural prescription drugs. All of these can and will have deleterious effects on your erectile function. Adding Nitric Oxide supplementation and vacuum pumps can make a further difference. For Peyronie’s Disease - we recommend jelquing, stretching, traction devices and also Nitric Oxide supplementation. For Chronic Pelvic Pains or Bladder Incontinence issues, we strongly recommend a visit to a pelvic floor physiotherapist in conjunction with your focused shockwave therapy treatment. A visit to a naturopathic physician is always recommended for our patients.  We have access to the very best people to support your problem. By following the Kitchen Sink strategy, and in conjunction with our unique FOCUSED shockwave therapy protocol, we have seen even further improvements in our patients.   In fact, we have seen positive developments in about 50% of the 30% expected non-responders, thus increasing the efficacy from 70% to about 85%. Truly amazing. I’m so happy (it makes me well up sometimes) when I hear patients and their success stories. That said, I remain hyper focused and frustrated for the 15% who are still not seeing results.  I dwell on it and really push them to keep going. The only thing we can keep doing is to ‘KitchenSink’ it. You need to consider every option and take a 360 degree approach to slow the regression, and possibly reverse the conditions leading to the decline of your sexual wellness.

What is Shockwave Therapy?

Tip 5/30 - What is Shockwave Therapy and what’s the difference between the clinics that offer it? Shockwave Therapy is a POWERFUL medical modality, one of the few that can treat not just DOZENS of conditions, but even diseases and syndromes. There is a massive amount of information available online about shockwave therapy. It’s a relatively young modality, but there’s been hundreds of clinical trials that have proven its safety and efficacy. I encourage you to read this list of clinical studies on shockwave therapy (sometimes called ESWT or LiST or LIESWT - short for Low Intensity Electromagnetic Shock Wave Therapy). https://lnkd.in/esmd4zsr New research is being done all the time. Here’s a very recent study from this year: https://lnkd.in/es76peuU “TLDR: LIESWT improves erectile function in the short-term especially in men with mild to moderate ED, and those without a cardiometabolic disease.” It should be noted that not 100% of the studies show shockwave therapy as being effective. There are many factors as to why not every clinical trial is successful: Types of patients recruited, quality of device used, number of treatments, number of shocks, energy level of shocks, etc. That’s ok - this is science. It’s also called a ‘practice’ for a reason - often times we continue to learn and try to improve. There exists no STANDARD shockwave therapy protocol that works for 100% of people. That said - true shockwave (FOCUSED/LINEAR) is extremely safe, PAINLESS and side-effect free for almost everyone. It requires no downtime, no surgery, no invasion, and no drugs. Shockwave is an absolutely amazing, NATURAL medical technology that continues to evolve. There are different types of ‘shockwave therapy’ and not all treatments are created equally. Some treatments that advertise themselves as shockwave therapy don’t actually use true shockwaves. Most important, and with respect to regenerative sexual medicine for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction, Peyronie’s Disease, Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, and Urinary Incontinence or BPH, patients should insist their practitioner use FOCUSED or LINEAR shockwaves, NOT Radial/Acoustic/Piezoic or some gimmicky chair you sit in that makes you Kegel. Only FOCUSED/LINEAR shockwaves produce actual shockwaves, travelling at 1,500m/s into the body, with tremendous depth (7-12cm), to affect the necessary cellular level changes and stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation). Clinicians must use technology that allow them to modify the energy delivered by the focused shockwave - for targeting plaques and blockages or for breaking up calcifications and scar tissue. They should be able to do this without PANCAKING the penis (pressing hard onto your member to achieve the required depths) which can be painful and cause bruising.

Tip 4/30 - Is shockwave always effective treatment for ED? My 12 year old son Billy knows more about men’s sexual health than any 12 year old probably should. For someone who has limited experience with boners, he asks some pertinent questions. The other day he said: “does everyone have the same kind of ED?” “Good question buddy!” And the answer is - NO. Some guys have very mild Erectile Dysfunction - it might not feel as strong as before, but you can get the job done.   Others have more moderate and concerning symptoms - occasional failure to perform, declining libido.   And some present with severe symptoms - a complete inability to sustain an erection. The majority of patients who come to see us suffer from vasculogenic ED, due to poor penile bloodflow. In this case, focused shockwave therapy is highly effective.   It’s considered a first line therapy by the European Association of Urology for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction. Your ED might be vasculogenic in nature, and even then, focused shockwave therapy alone will prove difficult, or even impossible, to improve your condition. Significant and chronic blood flow issues are difficult to correct with short term therapy. It will require additional effort on your part. ED can be a harbinger of vascular illness, and patients should be well aware that atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) can impede blood flow to the penis. Your ED, however, might be hormonal in nature, and focused shockwave therapy alone, while providing ancillary vasculogenic benefits, might be of secondary importance to increasing your testosterone or correcting another hormonal imbalance. Are you taking medications that adversely affect erectile function? Talk to your prescribing physician or ask us about visiting an amazing Naturopathic Physician in your area. We have access to the very best available. Your ED might be psychogenic in nature - and focused shockwave therapy, while it will eventually be used for neurology, cannot remove the dark clouds in your head. If you are anxious & depressed, or dealing with low libido and drive, or perhaps your partner is just unwilling - this may be the key driver. Sex starts in the brain. Talk to your doctor or ask us about finding a sex therapist in your area. We have access to the very best available. How important is your sexual wellness and performance to you?
