Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects men of all ages. It is characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. The causes of ED are varied and can range from physical factors such as poor blood flow to the penis, nerve damage, and hormonal imbalances, to psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. It can also be a side effect of certain medications, including those used to treat high blood pressure and depression.

At Rafael Medicare Centre we use leading edge technology called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) to get your sex life back.

What is ESWT?

ESWT stands for Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy. It is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy shockwaves to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration in the body. ESWT was originally developed to treat kidney stones, but over time, it has been found to be effective for treating a wide range of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, and erectile dysfunction.

During an ESWT treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver shockwaves to the affected area of the body. The shockwaves trigger a biological response in the body, which increases blood flow and promotes healing.
