How does Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treat erectile dysfunction?
When you have plaque buildup in your blood vessels, blood flow is restricted. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy works by using low-intensity acoustic pulse waves to break up microplaque that’s accumulated in the vessels that supply blood to the penis.
Once the plaque is dispersed, your blood can flow and restore functionality to the penis so you can have a healthy erection.
In addition, pulse waves can increase the release of nitric oxide, which can help produce new blood vessels. This process is called neovascularization.
If you’d like to experience Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, consult with your provider to see if it’s right for you.
