For many men, erectile dysfunction (ED) affects nearly every aspect of their life. Medications, injections, and devices don’t often lend to a normal lifestyle. Between adverse side effects and inconvenient (or painful) treatment protocol, many men are seeking a more effective and liberating form of ED therapy.

That’s where low-intensity shockwave therapy - also known as GAINSWave - comes in. Low-intensity shockwave therapy is a painless, non-invasive, and pharmaceutical-free treatment for erectile dysfunction. Other treatments, like often unreliable medications or devices, don’t lend themselves to healthy, spontaneous intimate relationships.  With low-intensity shockwave therapy, a healthy sex life is possible - and there are no adverse side effects or periods of post-therapy downtime.

Low-intensity shockwave therapy effectively treats erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s Disease, as well as enhances sexual performance by utilizing high-frequency, low-intensity sound waves to safely and effectively improve blood flow, regenerate blood vessels, and enhance sexual function.  

The low-intensity shockwave therapy treatment also effectively delivers:

  • Spontaneous erections

  • Heightened sensitivity of the penis

  • Improved orgasms

A large majority of men with erectile dysfunction see positive improvement after the low-intensity shockwave therapy treatment. A reversal of the condition and enhanced sexual performance were reported in clinical trials. Additionally, the majority of men discontinued the use of their oral ED medications.

The beneficial effects of low-intensity shockwave therapy often begin immediately. Studies demonstrate that in many cases, following a series of treatments, men recognize benefits for two or more years. With little to no known side effects, you and your partner can enjoy the enhancements of shockwave therapy.

More About low-intensity shockwave Therapy

Also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, GAINSWave technology was originally utilized in urology to break up kidney stones. Eventually, it was discovered that by administering shockwaves at precise frequencies, it could be applied to treat the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction.

Richard Gaines, MD, FAARM, ABAARM, is the Founder and originating Chief Medical Officer of GAINSWave™. Beginning in 2015, Dr. Gaines began standardizing a protocol for using low-intensity shockwave therapy throughout the United States, calling it GAINSWave therapy. Soon thereafter, based on his long-standing relationship with and admiration for her, he engaged Dr. Kate Kass to pilot the program on the West Coast.

The GAINSWave protocol boasts a certification process that ensures certified GAINSWave practitioners are fully equipped to deliver safe and effective results. Among the GAINSWave practitioners nationwide, Dr. Kass was the first to bring this breakthrough therapy to the Seattle region. Additionally, Dr. Kass trains other doctors nationwide on the GAINSWave protocol.

The GAINSWave therapy protocol is based on over 30 published scientific studies demonstrating the efficacy of shockwave therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The scientific literature reveals a strong clinical response, with over 75% of patients reporting subjective improvement in erectile dysfunction after treatment with GAINSWave.

Additionally, a complete reversal of the condition and enhanced sexual performance is reported in numerous clinical trials.
