What Is Shockwave?
GAINSWave Therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that treats the root cause of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). 80% of ED cases are caused by poor blood flow due to the unhealthy narrowing of blood vessels and micro-plaque buildup. Shockwaves breakthrough any micro-plaque and stimulate the body to grow new blood vessels

Focused ShockWave
Focused shockwaves are instant single pulses. As the pulses are focused, they converge at a certain point within the tissue. This causes changes at the Cellular Level removing blood vessel plaque and helping to form NEW blood vessels. New Blood Vessels help to restore Erections!
Your Treatment With The Storz Duolith SD-1
We Use the Proven Storz (F-SW) Focused Shockwave Device
As we age, we develop plaque deposits in our blood vessels. We are typically concerned for the vessels in our hearts. When plaque and cholesterol develop in the arteries of the heart, we think about heart disease, but what about the penis? These plaque deposits form everywhere and when they develop in the penis we are left with ED.
A considerable amount peer reviewed research has been conducted on the effects of Focused Shockwaves on the penis and crura as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Many large-scale double blind studies have confirmed the treatment is effective for ED that is caused by dysfunction in blood flow to the penis.
A Class 3 Medical Device
Our Storz Duolith SD-1 Focused Shockwave device is Class 3 medical device, requiring pre-market FDA approvals, documentation on their clinical safety and effectiveness and can only be used by medical personnel. These devices are used for approved applications.
How Does It Work?
A single painfree pulse is conducted through the handpiece and applied to the penis. The shockwave is produced numerously over time and effectively causes positive tissue changes as the energy of the shockwave reaches the soft tissue of the penis. The energy reaches the penile tissue stimulating the desired response of plaque removal and new blood vessel formation. Treatment takes 20-30 minutes per session. Patients typically require 3, 6 or 12 sessions depending on the length of time and degree of erectile dysfunction.
Radial Shockwave
Radial Shockwave uses a different mechanism to create the shock. The shockwave is directed in an increasingly expanding pattern. These shockwaves have also been studied and is the basis of the GainsWave protocol. We see 80% success treating our patients using focused shockwaves. But of course we use BOTH methods!
We Will Also Use The Storz D-Actor 100
Storz D-Actor - Radial Shockwave
Our GAINSWave protocol also utilizes Radial Shockwave during your treatment.
The D-Actor 100 device, also made by Storz, uses a ballistic device situated in the barrel of the handle to create a pulsewave or acoustic shockwave that sends energy in an increasingly expanding pattern.
This unit produces energy at 1 – 21 Hz and 1 – 5 bars. The shockwave extends to a depth of 3 cm to 6 cm.
The energy is directed towards the penile shaft and pudendal canals affecting cellular changes in a more diffuse area. This energy also helps break down plaque deposits in the blood vessels, remove scar tissue and create new blood vessel formation in the penis.
Studies also support the use of Radial Shockwave with this device. Here is a recent study.
At Prime Wellness we use both Focused and Radial Shockwave to effect the best results with our patients and our results speak for themselves.
