Low Intensity Shock Waves Are Commonly Used In Cardiology and Orthopedics
Because of their proven benefits which include helping new blood vessels form, reducing inflammation, and stimulating new tissue growth, shockwaves are used by cardiologists to help grow new blood vessels, and by orthopedic surgeons to help cure musculoskeletal disorders. Shockwaves have been used by urologists for decades to help break up kidney stones, but the acoustic waves used to treat erectile dysfunction are much more gentle, and don't require anesthesia.

What Is An Acoustic Wave?
An acoustic wave is a compression followed by a relaxation. The amplitude is the maximum displacement from a neutral point, and the frequency is the number of times the event occurs over a period of time. This is commonly measured in Hertz
Radial Wave Therapy and Focused Shockwave Therapy Are Both Used to Treat Erectile Dysfunction.
There is literature to support the use of both focused and radial shockwaves, and each has their proponents. Uroshock is radial wave based therapy.
Energy Is Delivered Both By The Direct Force Of The Wave And The Collapse Of Cavitation Bubbles
There is direct force from the shockwave, but there is also a second source of energy. The energy creates focal areas of vaporization of liquid, resulting in creation of cavitation bubbles. These bubbles collapse violently and create microjets. These microjets tear open blood vessels and cells, which help to stimulate the regenerative process.
The Energy Bends The Cell Membrane
The cell converts the mechanical energy into a biochemical signal, a process called mechanotransduction. The cells channels open up and release growth factors.
Animal Studies Suggest That The Transfer Of Energy Unleashes A Barrage Of Benefits To Support Healthy Blood Flow And Erectile Function.
1) Increased circulation at a microscopic level.
2)Release of Nitric Oxide ( a key signal in the erection process).
3)Increased new blood vessel formation (angiogenesis).
4)Reduced inflammation.
5)Release of growth hormone.
6)Promotion of nerve growth.
7) Recruitment and activation of stem cells
Clinical Benefits of LiSWT
Shockwave therapy is an appealing option for patients interested in improving their erections. Some men may have noticed that they can still have sex, but they have lost confidence in their erections. They're not as hard and reliable as they used to be. Taking pills like Viagra may be helpful, but many men are fearful of side effects, and don't want to be dependent upon taking drugs for the rest of their life. They want more spontaneity. They want to be closer with their partner. The don't want to have to worry if their penis will stay hard until they satisfy their lover. Let's face it. When guys are worried about their performance they'll find an excuse not to have sex. Shockwave therapy may be the best solution for men with early erectile dysfunction.
Don't worry. If you're in your twenties, you are certainly not alone. International studies confirm that up to 30% of young men these days have erectile dysfunction, at least some of the time. The advantage of LiEST is that there is no down time. You can be treated, and go back to work, or the gym. You can even have sex the same day.
For fellows who are already taking pde5 inhibitors (Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and Stendra) shockwave therapy very well may rid you of the need to take those pills. Or you may find that you still need the pills, but get more reliable responses. Patients who have had erectile dysfunction for years, and have failed to respond to pills are less likely to benefit from LiEST. Similarly, patients who suffer from erectile dysfunction secondary to prior pelvic surgery, such as radical prostatectomy are unlikely to benefit, and should consider alternatives.
Benefits of Uroshock
1) For less than the cost of treatments in most doctor's offices you own the Uroshock.
2) Most patients who respond to LiESWT will require retreatment down the road, and will accrue additional expenses. With Uroshock whenever you need a touch-up you are in control. Since treatments are generally so safe, you can resume treatment at anytime.
3) The Uroshock is compact, reliable, and much quieter than other units. Our sleek, high tech unit is discrete. You'll never have to worry about being embarrassed by it.
4) Unlike other units the Uroshock is fully rechargeable. There is no cumbersome, awkward chord.
5) Medical-grade components include a brushless motor, and comfort controls.
