Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an inability to achieve or maintain an erection. ED is a complex disorder that can develop in men of all ages but is most common in middle-aged or older men.

Sometimes, a combination of different factors causes erectile dysfunction. The condition can be difficult to navigate without proper care. If you frequently experience erectile dysfunction, Dr. Goldfarb at MELORA Health & Enhancement can diagnose and treat your condition without medication or surgery.
The best treatment for erectile dysfunction depends on the underlying cause. Common treatments for ED include:
MELORA Health & Enhancement also offers Cellutone, a revolutionary treatment that uses radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy to encourage blood flow to the penis.
Cellutone emits low-level shock waves directly into the penis to promote new blood vessel growth and increase blood flow to the area. By supplying the penis with oxygen-rich blood, patients struggling with ED can enjoy firmer, longer-lasting erections.
The entire treatment takes just 20 minutes and requires no downtime so that you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
While you may experience noticeable improvements in your ability to achieve and maintain an erection after one session, most patients need a series of Cellutone treatments for lasting results. Your MELORA Health & Enhancement doctor can create an individualized treatment plan for you at your initial consultation.
