DUO WaveDenver, CO
A non-invasive shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction, offered as part of a complete evaluation with a board-certified physician.
DUO Wave ED Treatment
If you are dealing with erectile dysfunction and looking for a non-surgical, drug-free option to discuss with a physician, the DUO Wave is one approach worth understanding. The DUO Wave is a device that delivers low-intensity shockwave therapy, an emerging treatment that is being studied for erectile dysfunction. It is non-invasive, requires no medication, and involves no downtime. Whether it is the right fit depends on the cause of your symptoms, which is why it begins with a proper evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
At his Denver practice, Dr. Jason Martin offers the DUO Wave as one option within a thoughtful, medically grounded approach to erectile dysfunction. As a board-certified physician, his first step is always understanding what is driving your symptoms before recommending any treatment.

The technology
What the DUO Wave Is, and How It Works
The DUO Wave delivers low-intensity shockwave therapy, sometimes shortened to LI-ESWT. During a session, a handheld applicator passes gentle acoustic waves across the treatment area. The treatment is non-invasive and does not require numbing or medication.
The idea behind low-intensity shockwave therapy is that the acoustic energy may encourage the body's own tissue-repair processes, including the formation of new blood vessels, in an area where blood flow plays a central role. This is an active area of medical research, and it is honest to describe it that way: shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction is an emerging treatment that continues to be studied, and it is not a guaranteed result for everyone. Dr. Martin will talk through what the current evidence does and does not show so you can make an informed decision.
Candidacy
Who the DUO Wave May Be For
Erectile dysfunction has many possible causes, from blood flow to hormones to medication side effects, and the right treatment depends on the cause. The DUO Wave is most often discussed for men who:
The DUO Wave is most often discussed for men who:
- Have erectile dysfunction related to blood flow
- Prefer a non-surgical, drug-free option, or want to explore alternatives to oral ED medications
- Have not had the response they hoped for from oral medications such as sildenafil or tadalafil
- Want to understand all of their options before deciding
A proper evaluation is the part that matters most. Some causes of erectile dysfunction point toward other treatments, and some symptoms can be a sign of an underlying health condition worth addressing on its own. Dr. Martin's approach is to evaluate first and recommend second, which is the difference between a medical practice and a walk-in program.

DUO Wave and GAINSWave: What's the Difference?
You may have seen GAINSWave advertised for erectile dysfunction. GAINSWave is a brand name for a shockwave therapy protocol offered at many clinics. The DUO Wave is the device Dr. Martin uses to deliver low-intensity shockwave therapy, so it is a comparable approach offered within a physician's practice rather than a branded franchise.
The more important difference is the setting. With Dr. Martin, shockwave therapy is one option considered after a board-certified physician has evaluated what is actually causing your symptoms, rather than a single product sold on its own. If shockwave therapy is a reasonable fit for you, he offers it; if another approach makes more sense, he will tell you.
