Shockwave therapy has been employed in the medical field since the 1980s - used to treat everything from breaking up kidney stones to addressing conditions like joint pain, bursitis, and tendinitis. More recently, physicians and scientists have had encouraging results using this kind of therapy to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). Since shockwave therapy - popularized by marketing company GAINSWave - became popular in the U.S. several years ago, a number of other “wave” technologies have been introduced, purporting to help men suffering from ED. More recently, some of these devices are even sold direct to consumers - some can even be found on Amazon! However, the majority of these devices are not backed by medical evidence and research, and, because of inferior technological capacities, their effectiveness is highly questionable.
Shockwave therapy is conducted by aiming shockwaves (aka energy waves) toward treatment areas from outside the body. According to a study in the Urology & Nephrology Open Access Journal, “this non-invasive low-intensity shockwave therapy (LISWT) has been shown to significantly improve erectile function in men.” And there are dozens of other research studies that also talk to the efficacy of this approach.
