More and more men are having shockwave therapy to fix their erectile dysfunction, either at a clinic or self-administered. This is a forum to for men to discuss what experiences they have had, what treatment they used, and what results they obtained. The goal is to get men to share their ideas, trials, successes and failures in order to help other men working to improve their mojo as well.

Lower energy, higher frequency vs. higher energy and lower frequency
I've had my machine for a while now and not seen much improvement. I've not used it for a month or so, then gone back, and just not seen much.
I finally stepped back, read the posts by guys that have had it work better than most from what I've seen, and they regularly had lower energy. For the past week, I've dropped my energy from 90-100mj to 40-50mj, kept the frequency at 10hz or higher, and increased the number of "hits" to 5,000 on the penis shaft and 1,600 each crus. I'm seeing real improvement in terms of night time erections, and feeling of "being alive" in my groin. Just thought I'd drop my experience.
I'm going to keep going with this lower energy protocol and will update

Re: Lower energy, higher frequency vs. higher energy and lower frequency
You changed both the energy and number of hits so it's hard to know which one caused the effect. How many pulses were you doing before?

Re: Lower energy, higher frequency vs. higher energy and lower frequency
@hopefullHD in your old post you told that it was better 90mj than 10-15mj.
you said that 15mj was too low. Now with 50mj and 15mm head is better for you? Cause i have the machine but i i think i will use 50mj with the 30mm head (the bigger). It's ok or too low? Thanks
and for @dicklimppen did you ever try 50-60mj for your venous leak instead of 90-100mj? just to compare the results. thanks again

No I never tried such low settings since the medical studies that showed results used higher ones. I do believe that you can get results with a lot of different protocols, however,

Interesting
Cause in Srini protocoll
they talk about 0.09 mj per mm2
Which would mean only 20mj:
15mm diametre -> 177 mm2 surface area
177mm2 x 0.09 -> 16mj
So.. my setting 2 is 20mj and is the closest i come to that
So i guess i leave it at 2 = 20mj
Is 20mj considered very low?

Re: Lower energy, higher frequency vs. higher energy and lower frequency
I'm leaving my input and anyone please feel free to jump in. I have had my machine for at least 2 years now. I realized I had alot of issues going on. High cholesterol, high BP, no exercise etc.
I did some pneumatic treatments at least 3 years ago. I had so many negative factors going on that any gains were temporary. I did notice that their settings were about 2.5 bars and 12-15hz. I bought my machine shortly after that and cranked it up to over 4 bars, thinking more is better. The tool went dormant typically. I gave up on it.
After 9 months of exercise and diet changes, I was ready to try again. I had been experiencing significant night time woodies without any treatment. Lost the spare tire and at least 30 lbs.
I went to a clinic that did focal shockwave which is electric shock, not pneumatic. Pricey but I did notice good improvement after a few treatments. Their settings were different. 2.5 bars, 90 mj, and about 4hz. Very low settings from previous use. After that experience and reading this forum, I decided that less might be better. Any dormancy was typically just a few days after treatment.
I read an article that mixing focal with the radial (pneumatic) was very effective. After 4 focal treatments at clinic, I pulled out the home machine. 1 to 2 treatments per week for another 3-4 weeks. Settings 2.5-3 bars, 4-6hz. Much lower than before. Seemed to see immediate continued improvement wo the major dormancy. Maybe just a day or two. 1500-2000 hits each side and 1k on crua. I set crua up a little higher 3.5 bars and 6 hz.
I am now taking low level cialis and taking a break for 6 weeks? I will go back to the mixed treatments after the break. The situation is better. I think I can probably get it done with good dose of viagra. Night erections are significant and consistent.
Any one with further experience on settings at this point? I'm curious as to the break time length and what happens during that break. Do you see continued improvement? Any change in settings on a second round recommended?
I did notice your hz setting is much higher than mine - your hz setting is much more like the first clinic I visited years ago.
I will continue to post. I am just starting the 6 week break now. I will start treatments up again in mid to late January
Thanks all. The posts here about settings were of great help.
