Shockwave Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction in Savannah, GA

A standard protocol consists of six sessions, typically spaced one week apart. Some men notice changes during the course of treatment; any improvements often continue to develop over six to twelve weeks as tissue responds. Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended based on individual results.

The terms are often used interchangeably and refer to the same general category of low-intensity sound wave treatment. At SAMM, we use a professional-grade acoustic wave device to deliver targeted therapy - the same mechanism studied in clinical research on low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) for ED.

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is currently considered an emerging treatment option in the United States. While low-intensity shockwave therapy has FDA-cleared devices and is supported by leading European urology guidelines, it is classified as investigational by the American Urological Association, meaning clinical evidence continues to evolve. We discuss the current research and realistic expectations with every patient during consultation.

Some men who have experienced reduced effectiveness with PDE5 inhibitors have reported improvement following a course of shockwave treatment, potentially due to enhanced vascular function. Results vary by individual, and this is discussed in detail at your consultation.
