Blood flow is critical to a man’s erections. When a man is sexually stimulated, arteries widen so that his penis can fill with blood. The blood is what gives the penis the firmness needed for vaginal penetration.
A man who has problems with blood flow to the penis may have weaker erections or may be unable to have erections at all.
Shock Wave therapy has been used to treat patients with cardiovascular and kidney conditions, as well as address joint inflammation and fractures. Recently, scientists have investigated low-intensity shock wave therapy to help men with erectile dysfunction (ED).
This non-invasive procedure uses pulse waves to improve blood flow to the penis and to boost sexual performance. Dr. Truong is also one of the few on the East Coast who uses the newer technology of focus shock waves to treat erectile dysfunction and pain.

Shock Wave therapy uses energy from acoustic waves to trigger a process called neovascularization in certain parts of the body. When neovascularization occurs, new blood vessels form, helping to improve blood flow to the region.
The sound waves can treat ED by repairing aged blood vessels, stimulating the growth of new blood vessels, and removing decades of micro-plaque. This increases blood flow to the penis.
ED can be caused by Peyronie’s disease. The mildly pulsating waves of shock wave therapy can reduce pain and scar tissue size in Peyronie’s disease, decreasing curvature and increasing libido, erectile function, and sexual satisfaction.
Traditional shock wave devices deliver radial pressure waves. At Truong Rehabilitation Center, we use a CuraMedix machine to deliver more efficient and powerful focus shock waves.
Both types of extracorporeal shock wave therapy are effective, non-invasive treatments. But while higher-energy radial waves affect tissues, lower-energy focus shock waves affect individual cells. Specifically, low-energy shock waves are used for cell regeneration and pain therapy.
Focus energy penetrates more deeply into your tissues, while radial waves are most effective on the skin’s surface. The shorter wavelengths of focus shock waves also allow the waves to be used for more targeted treatments.
There are several types of treatments available to men with ED, including pills, vacuum erection devices, and penile injections. However, these therapies are typically conducted on an as-needed basis and may work for only one sexual encounter at a time.
Shock Wave therapy is different, as it targets the erectile mechanism so that men are more likely to have erections on their own.
This safe and effective treatment for ED provides long-lasting results, and is:
Results of clinical trials of shock wave therapy for ED are encouraging. The process has been well tolerated by patients, and many men have found that their erections have improved and that they can have intercourse.
Arrive at Truong Rehabilitation Center 30 minutes before your initial treatment for the application of numbing cream.
To administer the focus energy, a clinician applies a probe to the penis, which is coated with a special gel. Different areas of the penis are usually targeted.
Men usually don’t need anesthesia or experience pain, although they might have a tingling sensation in the treated area.
The procedure will take about 15-30 minutes to complete. You will need 6 sessions. Insurance does not cover this.
About 99% of patients notice positive results after one to three weeks. The effect will last about 2-3 years depending on the severity of your ED that was treated, as well as the presence of preexisting conditions like diabetes. We also recommend annual maintenance treatments to continue top optimal performance.
Multiple clinical research studies verify the effectiveness of Shock Wave Treatment:
Cost: $3000 for 6 treatments with Focus Shock Wave, the maximal number.
You do not have to be suffering from ED or any other medical condition to benefit from shock wave therapy. If you want to perform your best and satisfy your lover as you may never have before, this procedure will help.
