Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Shockwave Therapy plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Shockwave Therapy patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why shockwave therapy sometimes disappoints.

Shockwave disappoints when expectations are set against thin evidence, when the wrong indication is chosen, or when underlying conditions weren't addressed.

The evidence base for shockwave in sexual wellness is mixed. For vasculogenic ED the evidence is moderate; for many other commonly-marketed indications the evidence is thinner than marketing suggests.

Erectile dysfunction can have hormonal, vascular, psychogenic, or medication-related components. Treating with shockwave without addressing underlying contributors produces underwhelming results.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Shockwave Therapy here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

A Shockwave Therapy visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Shockwave Therapy is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Avoid blood thinners 24–48 hours before where medically safe.

iii.

The shockwave session

A trained clinician applies the shockwave handpiece to the treatment area with conducting gel and delivers a planned number of pulses across the targeted zones.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

No specific aftercare. Mild soreness possible for a day. Course review at end of planned sessions.

Is Shockwave Therapy right for you

Who gets the most out of Shockwave Therapy at Oshun.

Shockwave Therapy isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Vasculogenic ED

Erectile dysfunction with vascular contribution

Best-evidence indication. Particularly in men who respond partially to PDE5 inhibitors.

Peyronie's disease

Selected Peyronie's cases

Selected Peyronie's disease cases as part of broader management.

Chronic pelvic pain

Selected indications

Some chronic pelvic pain syndromes have shockwave evidence; reviewed individually.

Adjunctive to medical management

Combined with PDE5 inhibitors

Often combined rather than used alone.

If this sounds right

The next step is a conversation, not a commitment.

Every Shockwave Therapy patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No procedure is scheduled, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

How well does shockwave work?
Results vary by indication. For vasculogenic ED moderate evidence; for other indications mixed.
Is shockwave painful?
Mild-to-moderate pulsing sensation. Intensity is adjustable.
How many sessions?
Typical course is 6–12 sessions over 6–12 weeks.
Same as kidney-stone wave?
Same general technology, different settings. Sexual wellness uses lower energy.
Combined with medications?
Yes — often combined with PDE5 inhibitors rather than used as a replacement.
Risks?
Mild bruising, transient soreness, rarely skin irritation.
How long do effects last?
Several months to a year; maintenance sessions may be needed.
Insurance?
Generally not for sexual-wellness indications.
How do I book?
WhatsApp (876) 676-6297.
Two paths from here

One conversation away.

Shockwave therapy has a real role for selected indications and a more limited role for others.
