Proudly Serving Woburn, Lynnfield, Peabody & The Greater Essex County, MA Area
Revolutionizing Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Dr. Joseph Kaye, at Optimal Wellness MD, offers the state of the art technology in ED Shock Wave Therapy. ED Shockwave Therapy is sometimes called Gainswave™, Aether wave™, Acoustic Wave Therapy, Regenepulse™, ESWT, or EPAT, but all these systems are essentially using shockwaves to stimulate cell regeneration in the penis. The difference lies in the skill of the provider doing the treatments, the power and frequency of the shock wave therapy, and the quality of the shockwave machine. Dr. Kaye uses specialized Swiss-built equipment (Storz) for ED Shockwave Therapy-the best system available and we use the protocols proven to work for ED. Furthermore, we can combine shock waves with PRP-FM (platelet-rich plasma fibrin-matrix) injections (the P-Shot) and Botox "Bocox™"for even greater benefit. As part of your ED Shockwave Therapy, you will also receive special compounded ED medication which works much better than the commercially available medicines, such as Viagra™ or Cialis™. You will also be eligible for further evaluation and lab testing to determine if you need testosterone therapy and we can then prescribe TRT if needed.
Because we are an independent provider of these therapies, we can offer ED Shock Wave therapy at a significantly lower price than our franchised competitors at the same or higher quality of service!
What Is ED Shockwave Therapy?
This therapy has been used for over 15 years in Europe and is now being adopted in the United States. The ED Shock Wave treatment consists of highly focused sound waves that release vascular growth factors and trigger stem cells to repair the penis and repair damaged plaque-clogged blood vessels and nerves. Over 40 published studies confirm shock wave therapy works and is not a placebo effect.
How Does ED Shock Wave Therapy Work?
The ED Shock Wave treatment involves applying sound waves at a particular frequency and energy to the penis and penile blood vessels and nerves using specialized equipment. It takes about 20 minutes and is performed in a very private and comfortable setting by your physician.
Key Points:
- Improved Erection Quality
- Harder and More Full Erections
- Improved Sexual Performance
- Improved Sensitivity
- Drug-Free
- Non-Invasive
- Surgery-Free
- Improves Blood Flow

What Results Can I Expect From ED Shock Wave Therapy?
The results are felt immediately as extra nitrous oxide is released, enlarging the penis, and the benefits continue to increase over the course of several treatments. You are encouraged to be sexually active the same day as the treatment. We recommend you use a penis pump device afterward to maximize the treatment benefit. There is no downtime.
How Many ED Shock Wave Treatments Will I Need?
Usually, we perform 6 Acoustic Shock Wave treatments at our Essex County, MA office over 3 weeks; for more severe ED, we recommend 12 treatments over 2-3 months. PRP injections (P-Shot) and Botox to the penis (Bocox) can be added to either treatment plan.
Who Can Benefit From ED Shock Wave Therapy?
If you are currently not taking any treatment for ED and are simply interested in better erections and better sexual performance, this therapy can benefit you. Many men in their 30s use this treatment as a form of “male enhancement”, just as they work out to have a fit physique. ED Shockwave Therapy improves the sensitivity and firmness of the erections, leading to more satisfying sex.
Men who depend on drugs such as Viagra or Cialis may find they no longer need these drugs and can have spontaneous sex as they did in their younger years. Men who are dependent on injection therapy such as Tri-Mix may no longer require medication or may be able to have sex using only a low dose of Viagra or similar medicines.
Even men who are unable to have an erection at all, and maybe contemplating a penile implant can be helped. In studies, up to 70% of such patients were able to have sex again with good erections after ED Shockwave Therapy. Adding the P-Shot treatment and Bocox™ would improve on those success rates.
ED Shock Wave Questions and Answers with Dr. Joseph Kaye
Are There Risks Associated with ED Shock Wave Treatments?
There are absolutely no reported adverse effects and improvement is long-lasting. Maximum effect occurs 8-12 weeks after treatment. Studies have shown continuing benefits as far out as 2 years after treatment.
How Effective Is ED Shock Wave Therapy?
In a recent (2017) review published in Urology, the authors evaluated data from 9 studies that involved 637 patients. They reported that low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy significantly improved both the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and the Erection Hardness Score (EHS).
In an earlier study, the authors noted that shock wave therapy was effective in men who responded to phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i; e.g., Viagra) and could also convert men who did not respond to PDE5is to become responders. A subsequent trial explored the use of shock wave therapy in men who failed to respond to PDE5is. The 52 men received 3,000 shock waves once a week for 12 weeks while also continuing the use of PDE5is. At the one-month follow-up, 35 of the 52 men (67.3%) were able to achieve an erection suitable for intercourse. At three months, 33 of the 35 (94.3%) could still maintain an erection.

Can ED Shock Wave Therapy Help Men With Peyronie's Disease?
Men with Peyronie's Disease (an abnormal bending of the penis due to scar tissue) have excellent results with the ED Shock Wave Therapy, particularly when combined with PRP-FM (P-Shot). Studies show about 80% of such patients achieve straightening of their penis adequate to have sex without pain or difficulty. There is really no other effective therapy for Peyronie's. Currently, some such patients are treated with collagenase injections (Xiaflex) or even surgery, which are not very effective, and these treatments have the risk of rupturing the penis. With our therapy, there is no such risk of penis rupture.
What Other Medications Are Available For Erectile Dysfunction?
If you still require some form of pharmacologic therapy after your ED Shock Wave or P-Shot treatments at our Lynnfield, MA office, we offer the "Bocox" Procedure and unique compounded drug therapies that are more convenient and more effective than standard Cialis or Viagra. We offer sublingual lozenges containing a mixture of several medicines that boost libido as well as improve erections. We offer PT-141 (bremelanotide), which is a peptide hormone that stimulates erections and boosts libido. Of course, our goal is to get you to a point where you no longer need these medicines!
How Do I Know Which ED Treatment Will Work Best For Me?
As a medical practice specializing in Optimal Wellness and Functional Medicine, with expertise in Hormone Replacement for both men and women, we are able to fully evaluate your medical condition to determine if you have low testosterone or other hormonal abnormalities and then correct them. ED Shock Wave Therapy and the P-Shot work best in men with optimal hormone levels and a healthy diet and lifestyle. We offer weight loss programs and lifestyle advice which can help ED; we are very knowledgeable in nutrition and supplementation which can also benefit ED. We can, therefore, offer all you need to achieve optimal health and optimal erectile function.
