True shockwave therapy is the use of a medical grade electrical delivery device that conducts an electrical pulse through a specialized wand to stimulate multiple biological factors of healing to help speed up the normal healing process. Below is a simple explanation of these healing processes. For more details on these biological process please check out our page on how does shock wave therapy work for more!
Upon delivery of the electrical pulse from the Shock Wave device a host of biological healing processes are triggers at a cellular level. Patients experience the transformative benefits, including:
Temporary increase in blood flow
Promotion of new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)
Improvement of long-term inflammation through modulation of inflammation
Activation of stem cells
Restoration of tissue elasticity
Natural growth factor activation

In women, ESWT has shown promise in treating a few specific conditions:
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD): FSAD refers to the persistent or recurrent inability to attain or maintain sufficient sexual excitement or vaginal lubrication during sexual activity. FSWT aims to improve blood flow to the genital area, enhancing sexual arousal and lubrication.
Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD): HSDD is characterized by a lack or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. FSWT has been explored as a potential treatment by stimulating nerve tissue and promoting blood flow to the clitoral and vaginal areas, potentially improving sexual desire.
Postmenopausal Sexual Dysfunction: Menopause can lead to various sexual health issues in women, including vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, and reduced sexual desire. FSWT may help by increasing blood flow, rejuvenating tissues, and improving vaginal lubrication and elasticity.
