What Is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, And Can It Help With ED?
If you've been looking into alternatives to ED medication, you've probably come across the term extracorporeal shockwave therapy.
It’s a bit of a mouthful, but don’t let the name put you off, it’s one of the most promising drug-free treatments for erectile dysfunction available today.
At Men’s Room, we use shockwave therapy every week to help men improve their erections naturally, without relying on pills.
Here’s what you need to know.
What Is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy?
Let’s break it down:
Extracorporeal simply means “outside the body”
Shockwaves are low-intensity sound waves
Therapy means it’s used to support or restore function
So, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment where sound waves are delivered to specific tissues, in this case, the penis, from outside the body.
The goal?
To improve blood flow, repair damaged blood vessels, and stimulate the growth of new ones. All of which are essential for stronger, more reliable erections.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Help With ED?
Most erectile dysfunction is caused by reduced blood flow.
Whether it’s down to ageing, poor circulation, or previous injury, the result is the same, blood doesn’t reach the penis as easily, and erections become less firm or reliable.
Shockwave therapy helps by:
Breaking down micro plaque in blood vessels
Stimulating angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels)
Improving vascular elasticity for better blood flow
Encouraging tissue repair at the cellular level
In simple terms:
It helps restore the natural function of the penis by fixing the plumbing, not just boosting pressure like a pill.
What Does a Treatment Involve?
At Men’s Room, we keep the process simple and discreet.
Each appointment lasts around 20-30 minutes, and there’s no pain, no downtime, and no need for medication.
Here’s what happens:
We use a handheld device to deliver sound waves to targeted points around the base and shaft of the penis.
You might feel a gentle tapping or pulsing sensation, but it shouldn’t hurt.
After the session, you can go about your day as normal, including sexual activity if you feel ready.
Most men complete a course of 10 sessions over 5-10 weeks.
Is Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy Safe?
Yes, it’s widely regarded as safe and well-tolerated.
It’s used across the world, and studies have shown it to be an effective treatment for vasculogenic ED (ED caused by blood flow issues).
At Men’s Room, we follow clinically backed protocols and ensure the treatment is tailored to your body and your needs.
It’s non-surgical, drug-free, and designed to treat the root cause.
Who Is Shockwave Therapy For?
It’s ideal for men who:
Want to improve erections without medication
Have mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
Have early signs of vascular decline
Aren’t getting the same results from pills as they used to
Want long-term improvement, not short-term fixes
It’s not suitable for everyone. That’s why we start with a full, confidential consultation to check if it’s right for you.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
Most men report:
Firmer, longer-lasting erections
Improved sensation
Increased confidence and spontaneity
Better response even without pills
Results typically build over time and continue to improve weeks after treatment ends, as the body continues repairing and rebuilding.
