Understanding Erectile Dysfunction Causes
Erectile dysfunction typically results from two primary physiological factors:
  • Poor Vascular Blood Flow - reduced blood circulation to penile tissue prevents adequate erection firmness
  • Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles - insufficient muscle strength fails to maintain blood retention within penile tissue during arousal
These underlying causes often stem from aging, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stress, or previous pelvic surgery, making comprehensive assessment crucial for effective treatment.
At Core Body Clinic, we offer cutting-edge focused shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) for erectile dysfunction treatment. Clinical studies demonstrate that shockwave therapy is one of the most effective and reliable treatments for erectile dysfunction, helping more than 85% of men achieve significant improvement in erectile function .
Unlike temporary pharmaceutical solutions, shockwave therapy addresses the root causes of erectile dysfunction by:

Stimulating new blood vessel growth (neovascularization) • Improving penile blood flow and circulation • Enhancing tissue regeneration and healing • Strengthening pelvic floor muscle function.

While ED medications can provide temporary erection assistance, they only offer short-term symptom management without addressing underlying causes. Our specialised shockwave therapy provides a non-invasive, drug-free approach that targets the physiological problems causing erectile dysfunction, offering potential long-term improvement in natural erectile function.

Core Body Clinic’s specialist men’s health physiotherapy team provides discrete, professional erectile dysfunction treatment in our Swansea and Reading clinics. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced shockwave therapy with pelvic floor rehabilitation to optimise treatment outcomes.

Typically, we suggest 8 treatments, weekly and over an 8 week period.  We do encourage 2 sessions weekly over 4 weeks as this sometimes yields better and faster outcomes.

Shockwave therapy changes the physiology within the corpus carvinosum resulting in an increase in blood vessels.  This takes many weeks with most effects seen 6 weeks after completing the regime of treatment.  Sometimes this can take a further 12 weeks and is largely due to the pace at which physiology changes.

Usually, one of the best indicators of success is to actually test the functionality.  Continuing to go about your normal everyday life is essential. You should continue to try to get an erection or have sex during treatment.  You can also continue with your PDE5i medications (Viagra, Cialis).

Aside from some aching in the penile shaft and perineum, the treatment is very safe and delivered according to a specific and controlled protocol.

“Use it or lose it” – we suggest that you address any underlying causes that may cause erectile dysfunction.  We will address issues concerning fitness, cardiovascular health, smoking, alcohol, exercise and sleep to ensure that benefit maximally from the shockwave therapy.

Yes! This treatment should be repeated annually and top up treatment can be administered after 6 months for those patients who benefit.
