The Truth About Shockwave Therapy for ED in Lubbock, TX<\/h2>\n

\"Shockwave<\/a>Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects about 18 million American men at some point in their lives.<\/p>\n

ED is a debilitating disorder that can leave men feeling depressed while creating anxiety around sexual encounters.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, new advances in treatments such as shockwave therapy in Lubbock, TX<\/a> can help men naturally overcome their issues alongside a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\n

Shockwave therapy for ED is a potent way to stimulate natural healing and promote a healthy path back to sexual wellness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As you age, your risk for ED increases. Even with gradually declining levels of testosterone, having trouble maintaining an erection isn\u2019t always related to these declines or the natural progression of age.<\/p>\n

Many men will experience ED at some point in their lives regardless of declining levels of testosterone or other blood-flow restricting conditions. The good news is that the cause of your ED can usually be identified, and shockwave therapy can help to stimulate the conditions necessary to facilitate a proper erection.<\/p>\n

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?<\/h2>\n

The causes of ED can be both psychological and physical. The success of treatment for physical causes depends on your condition. Studies have consistently shown that psychological factors are the most common cause of ED, despite the common belief that age alone is the most common contributor.<\/p>\n

Psychological causes, such as hormonal imbalances, are usually curable. This includes stress and anxiety. While research still has no clear answer, the findings always seem to point to decreased blood flow. Most ED cases have one thing in common: the symptoms result in either decreased blood flow or atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).<\/p>\n
