Noninvasive Shockwave Therapy / Hanover, Maryland
At the Institute for Human Optimization, shockwave therapy offers a noninvasive option for selected tendon and soft tissue concerns, as well as men seeking care for erectile dysfunction. We look at the full picture and tailor the approach to your symptoms, goals, and health history.
Shockwave therapy delivers controlled acoustic pulses to a targeted area of the body. These pulses create a mechanical stimulus that is used in care for certain persistent tendon and soft tissue concerns. Lower-intensity approaches are also explored in men’s sexual health, particularly when blood flow may contribute to erectile dysfunction.
At the Institute for Human Optimization, we begin by understanding the cause of your symptoms. That evaluation helps us decide where shockwave therapy may fit and whether other care should be part of your plan.
Your care starts with a conversation about your symptoms and goals. If shockwave therapy is a suitable option, our team will explain the treatment area, what a session feels like, and the plan for follow-up.
We review your health history, symptoms, and previous treatments. For tendon or soft tissue concerns, we assess the affected area. For erectile dysfunction, we consider the broader factors that may be contributing to the concern.
We explain whether shockwave therapy may fit your care plan, what the proposed course involves, and what other options you may want to consider.
A handheld applicator delivers acoustic pulses to the selected area. You may notice tapping or pressure during treatment. Let our team know how it feels so they can guide you through the session.
