Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation before we start any treatment. During the first visit, our expert medical team will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and assess whether Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy is the right option. We take the time to understand your needs, concerns, and goals, ensuring that this therapy is the most effective choice for your condition.

This consultation also includes a physical examination of the affected area and any relevant diagnostic tests, such as an ultrasound or other imaging studies, if necessary. Our doctors will use this information to determine the areas that require treatment and devise a personalized treatment plan tailored to your condition.

Once the treatment schedule has been established, preparation begins for your Li-ESWT session. You do not need to fast or stop medications for your session. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the treated area.

A layer of gel is applied to the area where treatment will be delivered before shock waves are administered. The gel is an excellent conductor. It helps transfer shock waves directly to the tissue, ensuring that shock waves are well directed toward the tissue without causing discomfort.

The handheld device emitting low-intensity shock waves does the actual treatment. The device is placed gently over the area being treated, allowing the release of high-frequency sound waves to the tissue. The shock waves are usually acoustic or pressure waves, causing a mechanical effect on the tissues being targeted.

The procedure is carried out through the working mechanisms of the shock waves.

They stimulate blood flow by encouraging new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis).

They encourage tissue repair by activating the body's natural healing processes.

They increase collagen production and can break scar tissue, particularly in Peyronie's disease.

They help alleviate pain and inflammation by activating anti-inflammatory agents.

The intensity and duration of the shock waves can be adjusted according to the severity of your condition, and you may feel a mild tingling or tapping sensation during the session. Most patients find the treatment well-tolerated, with little to no pain. The procedure typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

While the treatment is being delivered, our medical staff will monitor your comfort level with the procedure, ensuring that you are comfortable and that the procedure is conducted without any issues. For instance, should you feel pain or discomfort, we can always vary the intensity of the shock waves so that you feel comfortable during the entire session. Communication is key, and we ask you to let us know if something doesn't feel normal.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a patient-centered approach, so we aim to make your experience as relaxing and pleasant as possible. Our goal is to deliver optimal results while prioritizing your comfort and well-being.

After your Li-ESWT session, there is virtually no downtime, and you can go about your normal daily activities immediately. Unlike other invasive treatments that require rest or recovery, Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy allows you to return to your routine immediately.

 Mild redness or tenderness may occur at the site of treatment in some patients, which is usually transient and resolves within hours or a day. You might feel minor discomfort during or after the session, but this is temporary and disappears quickly.

 We provide each patient with individualized post-treatment care instructions, which may include advice on stretching exercises or activity restrictions depending on the treated area and condition. For instance, if you are undergoing Li-ESWT for erectile dysfunction, we may recommend specific lifestyle changes, such as increased physical activity, dietary adjustments, or other complementary therapies to enhance your results.

 Suppose you have undergone musculoskeletal therapy, such as tendonitis or chronic pain. In that case, we advise you to hold on to high-intensity activities for a few days to allow tissues to heal completely.

We will schedule follow-up appointments after your first Li-ESWT session. These appointments will help monitor your progress and determine if further treatments are required. The frequency and number of treatments needed vary based on the individual's condition and response to therapy.

Generally, patients going through Low-Intensity Shock Wave Therapy for erectile dysfunction or Peyronie's disease usually require an average of 6-12 sessions, taking place 1-2 weeks apart. Session frequency may change when treating chronic pain or musculoskeletal injury, and a tailored treatment plan will be adjusted if you are progressing well with treatment.

We assess your symptoms during follow-up visits, conduct any required exams or imaging, and adjust your treatment plan if necessary to maximize results. We are dedicated to ensuring that you achieve the best possible outcome and that your health improves after each session.

While many patients begin to notice improvements after just a few sessions, the full benefits of Li-ESWT may take several weeks to become apparent, especially for conditions like erectile dysfunction or chronic pain. Being patient and consistent with your treatments is essential to achieve optimal results.
