Shockwave Therapy for ED | Insights by Dr. Chan

Shockwave Therapy for ED | Explained by Urologist Dr. Robert Chan

In this video, I go over the basics of shockwave therapy treatment for ED in men. Shockwave therapy, also known as acoustic wave therapy, Gainswave, or Truepulse, uses high energy sound waves to help stimulate new blood vessel growth in the penis. Shockwave therapy differs from other erectile dysfunction treatments like viagra because medications only treat symptoms of the ED. On the other hand, shockwave therapy focuses more on the underlying pathophysiology i.e. poor blood flow to the penis.
