Effectiveness of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy on Erectile Dysfunction
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy was introduced in 1980 in the clinical practice for the first time.
It was initially used to treat musculoskeletal problems and enhance bone growth. The shock waves helped treat orthopaedic problems such as Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis.
Shock waves are high-energy sound waves produced with high voltage explosions and evaporation from water.
