Men’s Health
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common sexual disorder. Men affected by ED have consistent trouble with achieving and maintaining an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse despite being sexually stimulated. The condition can have physical or psychological causes. One of the primary causes of ED is restricted blood flow to the penis – the amount of blood in the cavernous bodies (penile arteries) may not be enough to cause an erection.
If you have sought a drug free solution for Erectile Dysfunction (ED), consider Focus Shockwave treatment at Eglinton Physiotherapy. By activating the enlargement of blood vessels in the penile organ and utilizing one’s own body’s blood circulation volume, our therapy boasts more restorative and longer lasting results.
The Duolith® device is used to apply extracorporeal shock wave treatment (ESWT). It has been used for the treatment of vascular erectile dysfunction since 2010. The effectiveness of the Duolith® device and of extracorporeal shock wave therapy have been demonstrated in clinical studies with encouraging results. During treatment, an instrument is used to apply soundwaves that stimulate a mechanical and chemical response in the body. The soundwaves break up micro-plaque in the arteries that lead to the penis. Low-intensity shock waves are applied to different areas. This stimulates the creation of new blood vessels in the cavernous bodies and improves blood flow in the penis and the ability to achieve an erection.
