Low intensity shockwave therapy for ED is an innovative treatment designed to improve blood flow and restore natural erectile function. In this video, board‑certified urologist Dr. Kia Michel explains how low intensity shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction works, who benefits most, and why it addresses the root cause rather than masking symptoms. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Michel shares evidence‑based insights from clinical studies and real‑world patient outcomes.

Video Description

In this rapid‑fire video, Dr. Kia Michel answers common questions about low intensity shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction. He explains that this treatment has been evaluated in head‑to‑head, double‑blinded clinical studies, showing effectiveness rates of approximately 70–75% in men who complete the therapy and report meaningful improvement in erectile function.

Dr. Michel notes that low intensity shockwave therapy for ED is effective across a wide range of patients. One key recommendation during treatment is to avoid anti‑inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or Advil, as these drugs can interfere with the body’s natural healing response that shockwave therapy is designed to stimulate.

Unlike medications such as Viagra or Cialis, which temporarily improve erections without addressing the underlying problem, shockwave therapy focuses on restoring penile blood flow. Dr. Michel explains that erectile dysfunction is often progressive, requiring higher medication doses over time until pills become less effective. By improving vascular health, shockwave therapy aims to slow or reverse this process, helping men maintain sexual function longer while reducing dependence on medications.
