In a traditional healthcare setting, a general practitioner will generally try to treat the immediate condition with medication. One of the most commonly-known medications is Sildenafil, commercially known as Viagra. As in cases for other conditions treated only with medication, the medication prescribed is a temporary fix and it does not address other issues going on which may be the root cause of the dysfunction.

Serenity Healthcare & Physical Therapy uses regenerative therapies to induce healing and restore lost functionality. We also combine our treatments and services with nearby partners that are readily available (they’re next door, yet we share the front door). These include chiropractic, physical therapy, nutrition, and wellness. By approaching the condition from a whole-health perspective we can assess other items that might be going on.

We can provide testing which will determine your current psychological state and provide treatments for anxiety or depression. We can assess your nutritional condition to see if you are deficient in certain nutrients. This can even include hormone testing to see if you have low levels of testosterone, which is also a major cause of erectile dysfunction.

By addressing your other health and life habits we may be able to help you get off of certain medications like high blood pressure or depression medications mentioned above. We can help you with weight loss with a variety of methods. One of these tests might include a Zyto scan which uses galvanic skin responses to provide feedback for multiple items related to nutrition and blood chemistry.
Some common regenerative medicine therapies can also be applied in treating erectile dysfunction. Namely, injectable therapies such as platelet rich plasma. Another alternative is shockwave therapy, also known as low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy.

When platelet rich plasma injections (PRP) are used to treat ED, it is often called a P-shot, which is short for the Priapus Shot, named for the Greek god of sexual health. All regenerative therapy is applied with the intent to induce the natural healing cascade and/or accelerate and assist healing using the natural processes of the body. Platelets are a component of our blood which are essential in recruiting other healing factors.

Platelet Rich Plasma injection therapy is a process of using blood collection and platelet concentrating procedures. Your own (autologous) platelets are then re-injected into the base of the penis with a concentration up to 10 times what the body might deliver through the blood vessels. This can induce healing of injured tissues and even cause new tissues to grow. Thus, PRP injections have also been used not just for erectile dysfunction, but also for penis enhancement.

The overall goal with all of these treatments is to provide a more long-lasting solution to erectile dysfunction, which involves healing, restoration of lost functionality and achieving whole- health. This will possibly even make it so that you are not forever-dependent on a medication. Many of these treatments are not FDA-approved. Results vary by patient.
