A private, drug-free option for a common and treatable problem.
Erectile dysfunction is far more common than most men realise, and far more treatable. Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free option that uses low-intensity acoustic pulses delivered to the tissue with the aim of supporting blood flow, and at OLA we offer it using the Medispec ED1000. It is not right for every cause of ED, and it is not a guaranteed fix, so it begins the way good men's health care should, with a thorough medical consultation with Dr Indi. . Every consultation happens in our West Perth clinic, with the discretion that defines everything we do.
A Note from Dr Indi
Most men wait far too long before mentioning this to anyone, and by the time they do, they have often been carrying it quietly for years. I want to say clearly: it is common, it is nothing to be embarrassed about, and it is worth talking about.
You will be met with honesty first, and with discretion throughout. We will look properly at what is causing your ED, because sometimes it points to something about your general health that deserves attention in its own right. And I will tell you plainly whether shockwave therapy is likely to help you, whether another approach would serve you better, or whether the most useful thing I can do is be straight that this is not the treatment for you.
More than anything, I want you to feel the same comfort and trust that OLA was built on. I look forward to welcoming you.

Treatment Areas
- Vasculogenic ED ED related to blood flow, which is the main focus of this treatment
- Mild erectile dysfunction where the difficulty is present but not severe
- Partial responders to tablets men who get some, but not enough, benefit from oral ED medication
- Men who prefer a drug-free option those who would rather not rely on medication, or cannot take it
- Diabetic ED may be considered, though results can be more limited, which your doctor will discuss honestly
What it is, and how it works
Shockwave therapy for ED, known clinically as low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy, delivers gentle acoustic pulses to the penile tissue. The aim is to encourage the growth of new blood vessels and improve local blood flow, which is central to achieving and maintaining an erection. It is non-invasive: no needles, no medication, no anaesthetic and no downtime.
It is worth being straight about where the science sits, because a lot of clinics are not. Shockwave therapy for ED is an area of active research, and the results so far are genuinely promising, particularly for men with mild, blood-flow-related ED or those who respond only partially to tablets. But the major clinical guidelines do not fully agree on it. European urology guidance considers it a reasonable option for selected men, while American guidance still classifies it as investigational and calls for stronger long-term evidence.
What that means for you is simple. We will give you an honest, realistic picture of what shockwave therapy can and cannot do for your situation, rather than presenting it as a miracle or a guaranteed cure. For some men it helps meaningfully. For others, a different approach is the better answer. The only way to know which applies to you is a proper assessment.
Your treatment, step by step
From your first conversation onwards, every stage is handled with care, clarity and discretion.
Consultation and assessment Your journey begins with a private, judgement-free consultation with an OLA doctor. Erectile dysfunction has many possible causes, and some of them, such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, are important health signals in their own right. So before any treatment, we assess properly. This is about your health, not just a single symptom.
Your treatment plan If shockwave therapy is appropriate for you, your doctor explains the protocol and maps out a course of sessions suited to your situation.
The sessions The device is applied to the treatment area, delivering the acoustic pulses. Most men find it comfortable, sometimes with a mild tingling sensation and nothing more. Each session is short, requires no anaesthetic, and has no downtime, so you return to your day straight afterwards.
Follow-up Because the treatment works as a course, your doctor reviews how you are responding and guides the plan from there.
Is it right for you?
Shockwave therapy tends to suit men with mild or blood-flow-related ED, and men who get only partial benefit from tablets, who want a non-invasive option and have realistic expectations.
It is not right for everyone. Where ED has a different underlying cause, shockwave therapy may be less likely to help, and another approach may serve you better. It is also not a guaranteed cure, and the evidence behind it is still developing. We would rather tell you that plainly, and recommend what genuinely helps, than sell you a course of anything that is unlikely to work for you.
Because ED can be an early sign of other health conditions, a proper assessment is valuable regardless of which treatment you end up choosing. Not sure where you stand? A private consultation is the clearest first step.
