Anyone purchased / use a "shock wave therapy device?
I actually had that professionally done, if we’re talking about the same thing. I had an elbow that was going bad and even consulted some surgeons. The guy that did my PRP also had a shock wave system and used it a few times before the PRP. It was a big coil, took several minutes and you just sit there with it on. Once he put a paper clip beside it and turned it on and little lightening bolts shot everywhere. He did ultrasound in the same session. Honestly I did not notice a huge difference but the PRP worked like crazy.
As in ultrasound shockwaves?
Currently having weekly treatment with it.
Very painful - over 50% of people don’t complete the treatment.
I purchased a cheaper Amazon shockwave device in addition to the ultrasound. I use it on my knees about once a week (trying to work up to twice a week). It seems to help with pain and inflammation.

I went to a clinic and tried the softwave one near me as I’m looking into getting a focused shockwave unit. Trying to heal nagging injuries that MRI shows nothing there for and exercise has not helped over the years. Here is someone on YouTube that has bought several of them including focused and radial. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCNUjq3tk4
Can you share the brand and type of the device? Thanks
Happy to.

It seems to have jumped a fair amount in price. I paid $210 in April of 2024.

Is what you guys have been talking about the same as what Amy is talking about?

Yes that’s shockwave therapy.
Interesting. Seems potential of value in sexual health / pelvic floor applications. So, I asked Claude Opus 4.7 for a list of devices:
Here’s an exhaustive market survey of handheld, consumer-oriented low-intensity shockwave / acoustic-wave therapy devices marketed for ED and shippable to the USA. Prices are current MSRP/listed prices as of May 2026 and may fluctuate with promotions.
Important framing before the list
Three things to keep in mind as a procurement specialist:
- No device on this list is FDA-cleared for ED. ED is an “off-label” or “wellness” marketing claim across the entire consumer category. The FDA has cleared some shockwave devices for musculoskeletal pain — manufacturers then market the same hardware as ED-adjacent for “blood flow” or “male performance.”
- “Shockwave” is used loosely. True low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) requires an electrohydraulic, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric generator producing focused acoustic pulses. Many sub-$500 Amazon/import devices are actually radial pressure-wave or percussive/electromagnetic vibration units. I’ve flagged technology type below.
- The Phoenix (Launch Medical) is the only at-home, ED-purpose-built device with non-trivial clinical/marketing infrastructure. Everything else is either a repurposed musculoskeletal device, an import generic, or pre-launch.

Procurement notes
- If you want one defensible “consumer ED shockwave” SKU to evaluate first, it’s The Phoenix at $879 — best documentation, established US fulfillment, money-back trial, and the most comparison reviews from third parties (Innerbody, Cleveland Clinic commentary, Yahoo Finance, etc.).
- Caveat on Launch Medical: The original parent company shut down per edtreatment.info, and the brand now operates through multiple resellers (getmyphoenix.com, getphoenixpro.com, phoenixdevice.us). Verify warranty terms and warranty-honoring entity at PO time.
- Sub-$300 import units are essentially unverified. Clinical reviews (Lasara, ED Clinics UK, Wolters Kluwer commentary) repeatedly note these often produce vibration rather than true shockwaves.
- Prosumer/clinic-grade handhelds (Oceanus PhysioLITE III, SHOCK VITALIZE MEGA, PulseWave MiniWave) are the closest consumer-buyable analog to in-clinic GAINSWave hardware, but they’re cross-marketed for MSK pain and the ED applicator is one of several heads.

There are all kinds. The focused shockwave machines from China I’ve looked at are in the 3-5k range. If you have more than one thing you want to treat and those machines are legit and effective then buying one is where I’d be.
