ShockWave Therapy can be used for: 

Shockwave therapy is an innovative treatment that utilizes acoustic waves to healing and improve overall health. For sexual health, it can enhance blood flow, potentially leading to improved erectile function and increased sexual satisfaction. In the realm of musculoskeletal conditions and pain, shockwave therapy aids in reducing acute & chronic pain and accelerating recovery by stimulating tissue regeneration and inflammation. This non-invasive approach offers a promising option for those seeking relief and improved well-being. To learn more about each click below! 

TrueWave Shockwave

TrueWave Clinic is a Registered Nurse (RN),  owned and operated clinic providing therapy for the treatment of Male & Female Sexual health, and musculoskeletal conditions with Viasure shockwave therapy. 

​

TrueWave Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic (sound) wave pulsations that are directly applied to the area of treatment, through a person’s skin with the help of ultrasound gel.  There is no need for pain killers or local anaesthetics.  Unlike Radial Pressure Wave, which is not a true shockwave and can only treat the most superficial conditions.  We strive to provide the highest level of evidence based, confidential care possible to our clients.

​

​Shockwave therapy, a brainchild of the 1980s, utilizes high-energy acoustic waves to invigorate and expedite the body’s healing process. Fundamentally, its mechanism revolves around creating microtrauma, prompting increased blood circulation and metabolism in the affected area, which in turn accelerates recovery. Today, it stands as a beacon for treating a myriad of conditions, ranging from tendonitis to kidney stones. 

 

There are several different types of shockwave therapy:

​

  • Focused Shockwave Therapy: As the name suggests, it directs energy in a concentrated manner onto a specific point, allowing for deep tissue penetration. This is especially beneficial for treating conditions that are embedded deep within the body.

  • Broad-focused Shockwave Therapy: Broad-focused shockwaves distribute energy over a larger and deeper tissue region. These shockwaves are commonly generated using techniques such as electrohydraulic methods, where an underwater electrical discharge creates a shockwave. Due to their broader energy dispersion, they find application in treating conditions that gain from a comprehensive therapeutic approach.  This is the type of shockwave we utilize.

  • Radial Shockwave: Radial shockwaves, also known as radial pressure waves, are created via a pneumatic process, where a propelled object strikes a transmitter in a handpiece. This generates waves that expand outward from their source. Unlike genuine shockwaves, radial waves cannot concentrate energy on a specific spot. Instead, they disperse energy more widely, offering effective treatment for conditions nearer to the skin’s surface.  This is not a true shockwave

Dr Irwin Goldstein explains not all Shockwaves are created equal

Dr. Goldstein has been involved with sexual dysfunction research since the late 1970s. He's authored more than 350 publications in the field. His interests included penile microvascular bypass surgery, surgery for dyspareunia sexual health management, post-cancer treatment, genital dysaesthesia, persistent genital arousal disorder, physiologic investigation of sexual function in men and women, and the diagnosis and treatment of sexual dysfunction in men and women. Dr. Goldstein is director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital, clinical professor of surgery at the University of California, San Diego, and practices medicine at San Diego Sexual Medicine. He is also editor-in-chief of Sexual Medicine Reviews and a past editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine as well as many other achievements! Have listen about what he has to say in the video
