Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome Treatment FAQs
About Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses focused shockwaves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by promoting neovascularization – the formation of new blood vessels. Clearing blocked blood vessels, the removal of calcifications, plaque and scar tissue, and improving circulation are the key results of successful treatment. The process was initially used to perform lithotripsy to destroy kidney stones without surgery.
You may see many different terms used for shockwave therapy, including ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), acoustic wave therapy, radial shockwave therapy, and focused/linear shockwave therapy (F-SW). However, not all shockwave therapies are the same. Only focused shockwave therapy devices are approved to be used by the regulatory body for treating sexual health conditions. Focused shockwave treatment provides a targeted treatment that reaches the cellular level of your condition.
There are various benefits to choosing focused shockwave treatment over other types of shockwave treatment options. Focused shockwave treatment is a non-invasive, painless procedure that doesn’t require any numbing creams. Most of our patients can return to their daily activities once they are through with the treatment. Some additional benefits include:
- No Pain
- No Invasive Surgery
- No Anesthetic
- No Risk of Infection
- No Scars
- No Pills or Drugs
- No Downtime
- 80-90% Efficiency

We’re the only clinic in the area with this type of machine. So, when we say you can’t find treatment like this anywhere else, we mean it. Our device produces shockwaves that travel 1,500 meters per second through a wand that is gently pressed along the affected area.

During Your Treatment
No, you don’t need to bring anything to your appointment. We simply ask that you come to the clinic prepared and as hygienically as possible to be able to start your appointment on time. Due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, we ask that you bring your own mask.
No, focused shockwave therapy is a painless experience for most of our patients. The process may feel strange or even a bit uncomfortable. However, pain is exceptionally rare. In some cases, depending on your skin sensitivity, there may be some redness that lasts for less than 24 hours.
Depending on the treatment you’ve recommended, you’ll be in and out of the office within 20 to 25 minutes. Focused shockwave therapy is extremely convenient for your busy day. You can expect to get back to your day-to-day routine immediately after your treatment.
After Your Treatment
Yes! After your treatment, you should be able to return to your daily activities immediately. Focused shockwave treatment is a non-invasive option, ensuring no downtime after each treatment session.
Each patient reacts differently to their treatment. Some patients will notice an immediate improvement. However, it often requires a few sessions to see any measurable results. Most patients see a marked improvement in their condition following the completed series of treatments. However, there are no guarantees focused shockwave therapy will work for you.
Yes! In fact, we encourage you to engage in safe sexual activities after each treatment.
