Living with pain can be exhausting. It is particularly irritating when it disrupts intimacy, mobility and quality of life. Our shock wave therapy is a secure and effective modality to an effective treatment of patients with the desire to evade surgery or heavy medication especially when the treatment is related to the pelvis, urology or sexual health.
Shock wave therapy is also called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which is a non-surgical method of administering focused acoustic pulse to dysfunctional or injured tissue. The sound waves of high energy are used to stimulate local circulation, break-up scar tissue, and natural tissue regeneration. It does all these without incisions, implants, and general anaesthesia.
A handheld applicator that is placed on the skin over the target area is administered by a trained clinician. Shockwaves are directed to the region of attack. The sessions are around 15 to 20 minutes. The micro-repair process of soft tissue, ligament, muscle, or nerve fibers is triggered by the waves. It boosts healing and reduces chronic inflammation. In most patients, gradual improvement is achieved with the help of multiple sessions.
Key benefits
The shock wave therapy is ideal in adults with chronic pelvic pain, with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie disease or the damage of the soft tissues in the pelvic area that did not respond to the conservative treatment (e.g. medications, physical therapy or injections). Pregnant people as well as those with active infection in the area of treatment should not take it, and people with disorders of the clotting system should not take it either. Dr. Erande and team will assess your medical history to determine if you will be suitable.
Common conditions we treat
It is a treatment that entails use of sound waves to get your body started with its own curing. Instead of surgery or heavy drug intake that is necessary, the treatment enhances improvement of the blood flow and repair of tissues in the treated region.
It has a small device to produce small pulses to the affected area. These pulses enhance the circulation of blood, break down small scars and consequently allow the body to heal itself.
The therapy is normally well tolerated. It may feel like you are tapping or pushing in the treated part which may be mildly painful but not too painful. The majority of patients resume normal functioning directly after that, without any attendant soreness.
