AcousticWave is a rehabilitative treatment that allows a person’s body to repair and regenerate themselves using a medical device that sends pulses of pressure waves which penetrate into the body area where the treatment is applied. Acousticwave is called other names: shockwave, extra corporeal shockwave, low intensity shockwave.

AcousticWave’s rehabilitative potential is based on recruiting the stem cells in one’s own body to the area of treatment to trigger the repair and regenerative process. Although the exact biochemical mechanism is still being researched, it is thought that the end result is breaking down the plaque build up that causes hardened arteries, greating formation of new blood vessels, and increasing the nerve cells in the area.

Although various devices and protocols are used currently in acoustic wave treatments with some claiming that theirs is the best or superior to others, at present there is no scientific research that one device or protocol is better than the other.

Scientific research shows acoustic wave treatments work for erectile dysfunction, but the results vary on the degree of the severity of the erectile dysfunction and underlying medical conditions. On average, most research shows that acoustic wave treatments are about 70% effective in getting a man’s own erections to return without medications, getting oral medications to work again, or getting injectable medications to work.

Acousticwave can also be used to break down the plaque that causes curvature from Peyronies Disease. Research supports lower pain with erections and decreased curvature if treated early enough in the disease process.

Gainswave is another marketing term for acoustic wave treatments trademarked by a company with a network of medical offices who are allowed to use their marketing name through a licensure agreement.
