Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT) in Houston
Drug-free, non-invasive treatment to improve penile blood flow and erectile function.
What It Is
Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) delivers controlled acoustic pulses to the penile shaft and crura, promoting neovascularization (new blood-vessel formation) and improving endothelial function.
Who It’s For
- Men with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (blood-flow-related)
- Those seeking a drug-free or adjunct therapy to medication or TRT
- Patients with mild to moderate ED or diminished response to PDE5 inhibitors
- Men interested in optimizing penile vascular health and long-term function
How It Works
Treatment is performed entirely in-office using a handheld device that delivers low-energy acoustic waves across targeted areas.
Typical protocol: 6–12 short sessions, each lasting 15–20 minutes, spaced weekly or biweekly depending on the clinical plan.
The therapy increases penile blood flow, supports tissue repair, and enhances responsiveness to natural or medication-assisted erections.
What to Expect
- Non-invasive, no anesthesia required
- No downtime — resume normal activity immediately
- Mild temporary soreness or redness may occur
- Progressive improvement over several weeks as new vessels form
Evidence and Considerations
Clinical studies show that Li-ESWT can improve erectile function in men with vasculogenic ED by enhancing penile hemodynamics and endothelial health.
However, results vary, and the therapy is not FDA-cleared specifically for erectile dysfunction. Individual outcomes depend on age, vascular status, and underlying health conditions.
