Soundwave Therapy at Aspire
Soundwave Therapy is one of the erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments offered at Aspire Health & Wellness in Metairie. Here is how it works, what the research shows so far, and what its limits are.
What Is Soundwave Therapy for ED?
Soundwave Therapy—also known as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Li-ESWT)—is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity sound waves with the aim of improving blood flow to the penis. It is not FDA-cleared for treating ED, and the American Urological Association still considers it investigational.
It is an option for men who don't want to rely on medication alone—or who didn't get the results they hoped for from pills like Viagra or Cialis.
How Does It Work?
Using a handheld device, our providers deliver painless low-intensity acoustic waves to the penis. It is intended to stimulate:
- New blood vessel growth (angiogenesis)
- Improved blood flow
- Regeneration of penile tissue
- Release of growth factors
It requires no surgery and no downtime.
What Does the Research Show?
Clinical trials have studied low-intensity shockwave therapy for improving blood flow and erectile function, with encouraging but mixed results. Studies differ in devices, settings and follow-up, and long-term data is limited. That is why major urology guidelines still class it as investigational.

FAQs About Soundwave Therapy
Is it painful?
Not at all. Most patients describe the treatment as a mild tapping sensation.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically 6–12 sessions over 6 weeks. Your physician will recommend a schedule for you.
Is this covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Ask our team about pricing and about financing through Cherry, PatientFi and HFA, subject to approval.
Will it work if I'm over 60?
Age alone does not rule it out. How well it works depends on the cause of your ED and your overall health, which your physician will assess at your consultation.
