Best suited for appropriate candidates with blood-flow related ED.
What Is Focused Shockwave Therapy?
Focused shockwave therapy uses controlled sound-wave energy aimed at targeted tissue. In erectile dysfunction, the goal is to support better penile blood flow in men who are appropriate candidates.
Despite the name, “shockwave” does not mean an electrical shock. The treatment uses controlled acoustic — or sound-wave — energy delivered through a medical handpiece.
Sound-wave energy is applied
During treatment, focused sound-wave energy is delivered through a medical handpiece placed against the skin.
The target is blood flow
ED is often related to circulation. Shockwave therapy is intended to stimulate natural repair responses that may improve vascular function.
No pills or surgery required
Sessions are performed in the office, typically without anesthesia, needles, or downtime.
Why a urologist evaluation matters
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by blood-flow problems, diabetes, medication effects, hormone issues, nerve injury, Peyronie’s disease, prostate treatment, or other medical conditions. Dr. Kaplan evaluates whether focused shockwave therapy is a reasonable option for your situation.
Studied in Clinical Trials, Reviews, and Meta-Analyses
Low-intensity shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published in the medical literature.
View the Research ↓How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients undergo a series of 6 shockwave treatments, but the number of sessions can vary depending on erectile function, treatment goals, and how long the problem has been present.
What Happens During a Treatment?
Shockwave therapy is performed in the office and is designed to be a brief, straightforward treatment experience.
A medical handpiece is placed against specific areas of the penis and surrounding erectile tissue, and focused shockwave energy is delivered through the skin.
A typical treatment session takes approximately 15 minutes and is performed in the office.
No surgery is involved. Anesthesia, needles, and downtime are typically not required, and you can leave the office immediately afterward.
What Do I Do Next?
Call the office or request treatment information online. Dr. Kaplan will evaluate whether focused shockwave therapy is appropriate for you and discuss a treatment plan based on your symptoms, goals, and medical history.
What Does the Research Show?
Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been studied for erectile dysfunction in randomized trials, sham-controlled studies, and systematic reviews. The evidence is strongest for appropriately selected men, especially when ED is related to blood-flow problems.
Plain-English Summary
Studies exist
This is not simply an internet wellness claim. Shockwave therapy for ED has been evaluated in peer-reviewed urology and sexual-medicine literature.
Patient selection matters
Results are generally more realistic when ED is related to circulation rather than severe nerve damage, advanced diabetes, major vascular disease, or unrealistic expectations.
Results vary
Not every man responds. That is why Dr. Kaplan reviews each patient individually before recommending treatment.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Focused shockwave therapy is not for every man with ED. It tends to make the most sense when erectile dysfunction is at least partly related to blood-flow problems and when expectations are realistic.
May Be a Good Fit
- Men with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction
- Men who still respond somewhat to ED medications
- Men whose ED may be related to circulation or blood-flow issues
- Men who want a non-surgical, office-based option
- Men who want evaluation by a urologist rather than a generic men’s clinic
- Men looking to reduce reliance on pills, when medically realistic
May Not Be the Best Fit
- Men with severe ED who never respond to pills
- Men with major nerve injury after surgery or trauma
- Men with uncontrolled diabetes or advanced vascular disease
- Men expecting an instant or guaranteed result
- Men who need urgent evaluation for pain, curvature, or other new symptoms
- Men whose ED may be primarily hormonal, medication-related, psychological, or relationship-related
Why Dr. Kaplan reviews each case
ED can have several causes, including circulation problems, testosterone deficiency, diabetes, medication effects, Peyronie’s disease, prostate treatment, nerve injury, and cardiovascular risk factors. A urologist-led evaluation helps determine whether shockwave therapy, medication, testosterone testing, PRP, or another approach makes more sense.

Focused Shockwave vs. Radial Acoustic Wave
Many websites use the word “shockwave” loosely. Different devices deliver energy differently. Dr. Kaplan uses focused Storz Duolith shockwave technology in a medical office setting.
Focused Shockwave
Focused shockwave technology is designed to direct acoustic energy to a targeted depth and treatment area.
- Used in medical-office settings
- Energy is directed more precisely
- Commonly used in published ED shockwave research
- Performed by Dr. Kaplan using Storz Duolith technology
Radial Acoustic Wave
Radial acoustic wave devices spread energy more superficially from the treatment head and are often marketed online using similar language.
- Often promoted in wellness or med-spa settings
- Energy spreads outward from the surface
- May be described as “acoustic wave” or “shockwave” in ads
- Not the same as focused Storz Duolith treatment
Why this matters for patients
If you are comparing ED “shockwave” offers, ask what device is being used, whether the treatment is focused or radial, and whether the person evaluating you is a physician. The technology and the medical evaluation both matter.

Shockwave Therapy Pricing
Treatment is typically performed as a series of visits. Pricing depends on the number of sessions recommended after your evaluation.
Individual Session
Per treatment session
A single-session option may be appropriate for men who want to begin with one treatment or discuss a limited plan.
- Private office treatment
- Focused Storz Duolith technology
- Performed in a medical setting
6-Session Series
Package pricing
Many men begin with a treatment series rather than a single visit. Dr. Kaplan can discuss whether this is reasonable for your symptoms and goals.
- Six focused shockwave sessions
- Private men’s health setting
- Includes personal wave device ($429 value)
- Plan adjusted to your situation
Additional Sessions
Per additional session after initial series
Some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on severity, response, and treatment goals.
- Available after initial series
- Discussed case-by-case
- No guarantee of response
No pressure. No one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Shockwave therapy is not appropriate for every patient. Dr. Kaplan reviews your symptoms and medical background before discussing whether treatment makes sense, how many sessions may be reasonable, and what other ED options should be considered.

FDA Status, Expectations & Results
Focused shockwave therapy for ED is a real area of medical research, but it is not a guaranteed treatment and it is not appropriate for every patient.
Is shockwave therapy for ED FDA-approved?
In the United States, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is generally considered an off-label or emerging treatment area, depending on the device, indication, and how the treatment is being used. Dr. Kaplan discusses the evidence, limitations, and alternatives before recommending treatment.
Is this experimental?
Low-intensity shockwave therapy for ED has been evaluated in published clinical studies, including randomized and sham-controlled trials. However, it is still not a guaranteed treatment, and professional opinions vary regarding ideal candidates, protocols, and expected benefit.
Why do results vary?
ED can have many causes. Men with blood-flow related ED may be different from men whose ED is mostly related to severe nerve injury, uncontrolled diabetes, medication effects, low testosterone, psychological factors, or advanced vascular disease. That is why evaluation matters.
How long do results last, and will I need maintenance treatments?
Results vary from patient to patient. Some men experience improvement that remains durable for a year or longer, and published studies have reported benefit lasting up to two years in some patients. Other men prefer occasional “touch-up” treatments, commonly every 6 to 12 months, depending on their response, underlying cause of ED, vascular health, and treatment goals. Maintenance treatment is not automatically required for everyone.
Will I still need ED medication?
Some men may still use ED medication. Others may hope to improve natural function or improve response to medication. The realistic goal depends on your health, severity of ED, and treatment response.
Is this the same as a home acoustic-wave device?
No. This page is about physician-performed focused shockwave therapy using Storz Duolith technology in a medical office setting. Many online devices and wellness clinics use similar wording, but the technology and medical evaluation may be very different.
What other ED options might be considered?
Depending on the cause of ED, Dr. Kaplan may discuss oral medication, testosterone testing, lifestyle factors, vacuum erection devices, PRP, penile injections, Peyronie’s evaluation, or other urology-based options.
A realistic medical approach
The goal is not to sell every man the same treatment. The goal is to determine whether focused shockwave therapy is medically reasonable for your symptoms, health history, and goals — and to discuss alternatives when another option makes more sense.
