Mate of mine tried the treatment and he claims it has turned the clock back 30 years and he now gets the same sort of rock hard erections he had as a teenager.

I too miss the sort of erections that I used to be so proud of during my younger years. Instances of super erections that used to cause the dick to ache are now few and far between.

Cost is $600 per session x twice a week for 3 weeks = $3600 but if it works it's money well spent. However I have to say that I have my doubts. Only time will tell.

NuCare Clinics is the first clinic in New Zealand to offer Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
Acoustic Wave therapy is:

SAFE

A SAFE procedure proven in over 100 research studies using AWT for erectile dysfunction specifically

PAINLESS

A PAINLESS procedure. No injections, no local anaesthetic is required, is not at all painful and only the vibration effect from the sound waves is felt during the treatment.

NATURAL

A 100% NATURAL therapy without the need for using medications, blue pills, or injections. It is sound waves delivered at a special rate and amount that stimulates the development of new blood vessels and stem cells within the penis to rejuvenate the tissues and significantly improve erectile function

TWICE a week for 3 WEEKS

Twice a week for 3 weeks is all it takes to complete the standard treatment.



At NUCARE we use the treatment protocol developed by Dr Igor Motil, a Urologist who has specialised in successfully treating man men who have declining erectile function with Acoustic Wave Therapy.

This protocol has been shown in research studies to be effective in 80% of men (Motil, I & Sramkova, T. (2017). ED treatment by low intensity focused shock waves - a comparison of available devices and therapeutic techniques. The Journal of Sexual Medicine. 13:S116)



Call the Registered Nurse now on 0800 NUCARE or email your contact details to discuss in confidence your erectile dysfunction problems and concerns and find out more about Acoustic Wave Therapy.


Two systematic reviews, which are a rigorous methods of analysing multiple research studies to form a conclusion, were published this year (2017). The conclusion of the research study of the European Urology journal of 833 patients was:

"These studies suggest that LI-ESWT could significantly improve the IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) and EHS (Erection Hardness Score) of Erectile Dysfunction” (Lu, et al 2017)



The conclusion of of the research study of the Journal of Sexual Medicine of 602 participants was: "In this meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials, treatment of ED with LI-ESWT resulted in a significant increase in IIEF-EF scores." (Clavijo, et al 2017).



"LI-ESWT is well known among experts in sexual medicine and the treatment is perceived as safe and effective against vasculogenic ED" (Fode et al 2017).



If untreated, erectile dysfunction will not go away!
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is simply the repeated inability to get or to keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.

You might find that you can’t get an erection at all, or you can get one only sometimes or you can only keep an erection for a brief period of time.

Some people believe that Erectile Dysfunction is just a part of getting older – it’s not. It’s caused by a physical or psychological problem that can be treated. And because it’s such a personal issue, you might feel awkward about seeking help but don’t worry: Erectile Dysfunction is very, very common and is very treatable and many cases.



The registered Nurses at NuCare Clinics have been trained to evaluate your erectile function. The nurses discuss erectile function with lots of men every week and successfully treat the vast majority of them with Acoustic Wave Therapy.





Linear focused Acoustic Wave Therapy for vascular Erectile Dysfunction



Acoustic waves are often referred to as "shockwaves" or "shock wave" in medical articles.

This is not because it is using a shock like an electrical shock but rather the phenomenon in Physics is described as an acoustic shock wave.

Similar to when a stone is thrown into a pond, the ripples moving outwards are shock waves.

These are similar to the shockwaves of Acoustic Wave Therapy.




The LSTC-ED (Linear Acoustic wave Tissue Coverage) treatment - a new and unique approach
Point focused and linear focused shockwaves have shown to provide good results in the treatment of vascular-related Erectile dysfunction. However they were hindered by difficulty in treatment delivery and especially treatment coverage using specialised applicators.




New experience in the low intensity shockwave treatment of ED using a therapy source with a linear shaped therapy focus are showing improved results utilizing an optimized, new treatment strategy. The treatment strategy is called LSTC-ED (Linear Shockwave Tissue Coverage - Erectile Dysfunction).

The innovation in treatment involves the direction of the energy application and the course of treatment which covers across the entire cavernous bodies. The energy is applied at a right angle to the cavernous bodies by moving the therapy source longitudinally through the Penis (Corpora Cavernosa) and Perineum (Crura Penis), ensuring that the optimised energy is delivered through the entire target tissue.



We have used the utmost care in researching and clinical approval of this method. A reputable evidence and study proof was important to us. A prospective, multicenter placebo-controlled study with 75 patients is showing a significant improvement in IIEF-5 scores and a successful treatment in 81% of patients after one month of treatment.

A functional improvement was proven 6 months after treatment and underlined the long-term effect of LSTC ED treatment.

The main mechanism of action in ED treatment with Acoustic Waves:

- Neovascularisation - formation of new blood vessels
- Improved blood circulation

Prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction
Research studies published in peer-reviewed journals reveal some interesting facts about the incidence and prevalence of erectile dysfunction as well as the severity affecting these men. A summary of the findings of the various studies is provided with the primary author of each study mentioned. There are hyperlinks provided to the abstract of the research studies for further reading and research.



Take home point: Increasing incidence of erectile function ranging in ages from 18-100. Only 10% of men seek help and of those 10%, only 9% had received treatment.



DO NOT DELAY TREATMENT. ED will not go away.

Go for it sam and best of luck :p

from what i read on it so far, it is safe and painless (unless your pocket feels the pinch) and the side effects is really negligible... ( some redness which goes away after a couple of days at most)..

reminds me of a song.. :D

thanks boss sam
i am thinking of trying that too, not sure if they have it here in thailand.
Please keep us updated on your progress. . Cheers!

[nirvana123]

I also very sian...years of being diabetic finally creates a problem for my erections now..... if this treatment can offer hope.... a few thousand dollars is a small price... but I guess such treatment will differ from person to person.

[IAmAwesome]

if they have it here in thailand

That would be interesting if they do

[sammyboyfor]

First session today. Lasted 8000 pulses (about half an hour in total including preparation) 4000 along the shaft of the penis and another 4000 below the scrotum.

The pulses felt like light pin pricks when the probe was run up and down the penis but the second half of the session which involved zapping the tissue below the scrotum was rather uncomfortable to begin with.

The video below illustrates exactly how the procedure went so there is no need for me to go into a lengthy description. Just watch the vid.

2nd session is on Saturday. A total of 6 sessions is required for optimum results according to the protocol that has been developed. Each session must be at least 3 days apart.

Patients usually experience improvement after the 3rd session. Have not tested things out yet. I'll keep everyone up to date.

Congrats boss.

Too far away for many of us to fly to NZ for treatment...:)

boss did u get an erection when they touch your kuku bird? i hope not :D

i was thinking of going for that but not sure if i can find a female staff to do it, the thought of a male touching with my kukubird area makes me cringe and i will probably end up feeling more impotent than before.. :(

[hellobye]

what is the diff between this and ESWT shockwave treatment offered in alot of place in sg?

[sammyboyfor]

what is the diff between this and ESWT shockwave treatment offered in alot of place in sg?

All rely on the same principle ie a device delivers ultrasonic waves to the erectile tissue in the penis in order to induce a regeneration of new blood vessels.

Different doctors have invented different protocols. Each believes (or claims) that their method is superior.

There is a section in the video above that explains the differences.

Two sessions so far. Next one tomorrow. It could be my imagination but erections do seem harder because my dick is aching after a fuck. :p

[sammyboyfor]

Thinking of finishing this project off with a P shot. What do you guys think?

https://priapusshot.com/

If shockwave winds back the clock 20 years adding a P shot could subtract another 20. ;)

The shockwave threrapy is a piece of cake. No pain at all.

Got along great with the nurse and she treated my tennis elbow with shockwaves FOC.

I can't vouch for my dick yet but I can tell you the tennis elbow treatment works like a dream. The pain that has been troubling me for months was gone within 48 hours. It's unbelievable.

I had frozen shoulder 9 years ago. Just as the right shoulder was getting better the other one froze up.

The only option offered to me was cortisone injections. I declined the offer and decided to just let nature do it's healing. It took a full 18 months before both shoulders were back to normal.

During the episode the hardest task was putting on my T shirt and scratching my back. Sleeping on the affected shoulder was also very uncomfortable.

thanks alot for the info,
i think it is time i look for one.

you are the best bosssam. up your points :)

The results won't be immediate. It's not like popping a pill.

The theory is that the procedure will result in the growth of new blood vessels which is definitely not instantaneous.

Apparently you were disappointed with the shockwave therapy. That explains the P shot or were you in a hurry?? :confused:

[sammyboyfor]

Apparently you were disappointed with the shockwave therapy. That explains the P shot or were you in a hurry?? :confused:

It is hard for me to judge because I did not start off with ED so it was hard to measure the results in black and white terms.

The quality of an erection depends on many factors and one of the problems when one gets older is that sex simply isn't as exciting as it was in the good old days. This factor alone can be the difference between a raging erection and a half hearted one. :p

My conclusion at the end of this whole exercise was that shockwave plus the P shot is as good as 5mg of Cialis. However the brain still has to be sufficiently stimulated sexually first before a quality hard-on can be achieved.

I can also advise those who expect shockwave or the P shot to work immediately will probably be disappointed. My guess is the effects won't kick for at least a month or so.

For those who can afford it my recommendation is to go for both.

Public hospitals now offering shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction
By EVELINE GAN

Thinkstock
Published17 JUNE, 2018UPDATED 17 JUNE, 2018
SINGAPORE — In a bid to revive his flagging sex life, Mr James Lim (not his real name), who suffers from erectile dysfunction (ED), has attempted numerous treatments ranging from penile injections to oral medications for over 20 years.

While certain treatments provided temporary relief, others like hormonal injections left the 74-year-old retiree and his partner, who is 20 years younger, unsatisfied with their fluctuating and inconsistent results.

"(Having ED) left a negative impact on our relationship, and I know she isn't satisfied. Even if we don't discuss it, we both know there's an issue," said Mr Lim.

Now, he believes he might have finally found a gamechanger for his performance woes. Last year, Mr Lim underwent shockwave therapy, which was first used as a non-invasive treatment for urinary stones. The treatment uses shockwaves, at a much lower intensity than that used to treat urinary stones, to stimulate the development of new blood vessels in erectile tissues.

Mr Lim said he saw results after undergoing a total of six sessions over three weeks at the National University Hospital (NUH).

"Right now, I'm at the 11-month mark, and it has been extremely effective so far. I am now able to perform and am back to being myself. My partner is also very pleased," he said.

ED affects about one in five men, said Dr Joe Lee, consultant and director of Andrology and Male Reproductive Medicine at NUH. The condition is characterised by the inability to get or keep an erection for sexual intercourse.

NUH's male sexual dysfunction clinic sees more than 500 outpatient consultations for ED each year. Mr Lim is one of the over 50 ED patients who have undergone shockwave therapy at the clinic since late-2015.

First made available here as an ED treatment in 2014 at Gleneagles Hospital, low-intensity shockwave therapy is also available at Singapore General Hospital and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

POTENTIALLY TREATING THE CAUSE

At NUH, it is now part of the standard treatment options available to men with ED linked to vascular (or blood vessel) causes, which make up more than 70 per cent of ED cases, said Dr Lee who treated Mr Lim. It is used as a second-line treatment when oral medications fail to work.

"In men suffering from ED due to a reduced blood flow to the penis, (shockwave therapy) results in increased blood flow to the penis, allowing them to attain and maintain erections for sexual performance," said Dr Lee.

An erection requires a good amount of blood to flow into the penis and not flow out too quickly to maintain rigidity, explained Dr Tan Yung Khan, a urologist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

For instance, vascular ED can occur when trauma to the arteries supplying blood to the penis, or arteriosclerosis (thickening of the artery walls) from diseases such as diabetes and high cholesterol, affect flow of blood to the area, said Dr Tan. ED may precede cardiovascular disease by a few years, he said.

Patients are usually required to undergo six to 12 treatment sessions, each lasting 15 to 20 minutes, said Dr Lee.

During the treatment, which can be done without anaesthetic or pain relief, patients will experience a tapping sensation. They can resume their usual activities like work and sports after the treatment.

One of the potential benefits of shockwave therapy is that it might possibly treat the cause of ED, which has long been viewed as an irreversible condition, and not only its symptoms – something that most current treatments focus on.

For example, drug agents augment erections transiently, but the effects are not long-lasting as they do not alter the underlying pathology of ED in any way, said Dr Lee.

"Shockwave therapy works by stimulating the development of new blood vessels in the erectile tissue, which addresses the underlying pathology of ED. (This could) potentially reverse the state of ED in a more lasting manner," he said.

It could also benefit some heart disease patients who are on a drug called nitrates – they cannot take PDE5i drugs like Viagra and Cialis as there are drug interactions, said Dr Tan.

If the treatment is successful, patients will not require medication, said Dr Tan. "As such, sex can be more spontaneous. If the patient is medication-dependent, then they will have to plan for sex and remember to take their medications at least an hour prior. This could reduce spontaneity."

Cost-wise, shockwave therapy is "comparable" to two to three years' supply of oral medications for a man who has regular sexual intercourse twice a week, said Dr Lee.

NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION

But the treatment has its limitations and not every ED sufferer is a suitable candidate. According to Dr Lee, current knowledge of the durability of the effects is limited by the treatment's short history.

Most data show that the effect tends to wear off with time, and only 30 per cent can have prolonged benefits beyond two years, said Dr Tan.

"When using (shockwave therapy), I tell patients that it is not often a permanent solution but it could possibly get them off drugs for a period of time," said Dr Tan.

There are currently no established guidelines on the maximum number of treatments patients can have, said Dr Lee.

"Ongoing studies looking at 'booster' shocks for patients who have been treated before seem to suggest it has a role but more time is needed for these findings to be validated," he said.

For now, a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in March has established a protocol for optimal treatment of vascular ED using low-intensity shockwave therapy for the first time.

"The efficacy (of the treatment) depends on the number of sessions; 12 sessions are better than six and 18 sessions better than 12. Therefore, it depends on the severity of the problem. Men with mild ED may have six sessions while patients with severe ED may need up to 18 sessions," said Professor Dimitrios Hatzichristou, professor and chairman of the department of urology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, who is one of the study authors.

"One question that was answered through our studies is that patients can have the treatment sessions either once or twice or even three times per week. Also, patients may receive 12 or 18 sessions in courses of six sessions, with or without a break between the courses," he said.

WHO STANDS TO BENEFIT?

Shockwave therapy is unlikely to replace other forms of treatments as it cannot be applied to all types of ED, said Dr Lee.

"While shockwave therapy is generally very safe and well-tolerated, treatment success lies very much in selecting the right treatment for the right patient," said Dr Lee.

For instance, it is not suitable for ED arising from nerve disorders as it has no impact on the nerves, he said. Other causes of ED include psychological, neurological or low testosterone issues.

Younger patients under 65 and those with better response to erection pills will benefit most from the treatment, said Prof Hatzichristou.

In patients who do not benefit from PDE5i drugs, the success rates of shockwave therapy are low, said Dr Tan.

The treatment tends to be less effective in older patients with more severe ED or a longstanding history of diabetes, who have a higher tendency of developing neuropathy (nerve disorders), Dr Lee said.

But for patients with severe ED who struggle with poor erections despite taking the maximum doses of oral ED medications, shockwave therapy may help improve their response to oral medications. They may achieve better erections after the treatment but are unlikely to be completely weaned off medications, said Dr Lee.

Besides medication and shockwave therapy, other treatment options include the use of penile injections and vacuum erection devices.

In the most severe form of ED, penile prosthesis may be implanted surgically to achieve erection by mechanical means, he said.
