What Is GAINSWave?
GAINSWave is an innovative drug free, non-invasive, and surgery free treatment that uses pulsed acoustical waves, providing a breakthrough solution for men wanting better erections ad optimal sexual performance.
For men, nothing is more frustrating than the inability to perform while in the moment with your partner. It can be not only terribly embarrassing, but it could get worse as you grow older. Whether you are having trouble achieving an erection or your ability to function is just not what it once was, a decline in sexual functionality can be detrimental to your confidence and to your relationships. If you’re searching for a way to improve your overall sexual performance and function, GAINSWave can help.
How Does It Work?
As men grow older, the blood vessels in the penis deteriorate and fill with micro-plaque that minimizes blood flow to the penis. A therapy similar to GAINSWave, known as “Acoustic Wave Therapy,” has been successfully used in Europe to help men with ED for well over 15 years.
GAINSWave therapy uses pulsed sound waves to open your blood vessels and helps stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. The improvement in blood flow could be helpful to any man, not only those who have trouble with erectile dysfunction (ED), to have stronger and more sustainable erections.
The Procedure
GAINSWave therapy is a series of in-office treatments that are completely non-invasive, drug free and surgery free. The Fritz Clinic, a certified GAINSWave provider, will go over your symptoms and recommend the right program for you. Treatments usually take around 15 to 20 minutes, there are little to no side effects with no downtime. Men typically experience the full benefits after about 6 to 12 treatments, but many men have experienced improvements after their first few procedures. Research shows that the benefits can last up to 2 years.
Erectile Dysfunction Relief – Over 50% of men will have some degree of erectile dysfunction in their lifetime, which is usually caused by lack of blood flow. GAINSWave therapy opens your existing blood vessels while creating new blood vessels in the penis which will increase the blood flow creating stronger and longer lasting erections.
Peyronie’s Disease Relief – Peyronie’s Disease is becoming an increasing problem with 5% to 10% of men suffering from this condition. Scar tissue forms under the skin of the penis resulting in the penis to curve and experience painful erections. Most men develop ED as the body’s natural defense against the pain of this condition. GAINSWave can break down the scarred tissue and combat all aspects of Peyronie’s Disease allowing for a straighter, healthier, and pain free erection.
Sexual Performance – Men over 30 often notice a decrease in their sexual performance. If you don’t have ED, but want to improve your sexual performance, GAINSWave could be for you too. GAINSWave can give you stronger erections, increase sensitivity, decrease recovery time between orgasms, and boost your confidence in the bedroom.
The unique opioid buprenorphine (Suboxone) was approved in 2002 for the treatment of opioid addiction in the U.S. This medicine has numerous advantages over methadone and naltrexone; it suppresses withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opioids, does not cause euphoria in the opioid-dependent patient and it blocks the effects of the other (problem) opioids for at least 24 hours.
There are two medications combined in each dose of Suboxone. The most important ingredient is buprenorphine, which is classified as a ‘partial opioid agonist,’ and the second is naloxone which is an ‘opioid antagonist’ or an opioid blocker.
As an opioid partial agonist, buprenorphine can produce typical opioid agonist effects such as euphoria and respiratory depression. However, its effects are less than those of full agonists like Oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, heroin and methadone, which are examples of ‘full opioid agonists.’ When taken at low doses, a ‘partial opioid’ produces sufficient agonist effect that allows opioid-addicted individuals to discontinue the use of other opioids without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone, when taken properly, may feel help a patient feel a very slight pleasurable sensation, but most patient report that they feel “normal” or “more energized” during medication-assisted treatment. This includes much needed relief from various withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
The agonist effects of Suboxone increase with increasing doses of the drug until at moderate doses, and is metabolized by the liver and has a half-life of 24–60 hours. The long duration of activity may allow some patients to medicate every other day, as opposed to the daily dosing required in methadone treatment.
People who are already opioid dependent do not get a euphoric effect or “high” when they take Suboxone properly. Suboxone tricks the brain into thinking that a full opioid like oxycodone or heroin is in the lock. This suppresses the withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with that problem opioid.
Fritz Clinic offers medically assisted treatment using Suboxone. This protocol commonly involves three phases: induction, stabilization, and maintenance. The introduction phase is the medically monitored start-up of addiction therapy.
First, Suboxone is administered when an opioid-addicted individual has abstained from using opioids for 12–24 hours and is in the early stages of opioid withdrawal. This ensures the patient does not enter early acute withdrawal while starting on the Suboxone. The treatment continues as part of our addiction recovery process, with managed treatment and personalized care.
Afterwards, during the stabilization phase, the Suboxone dose is adjusted until a patient has either stopped completely or greatly reduced the use of other opioids, and is no longer experiencing cravings. Once the steady dose is obtained, the patient enters the maintenance phase. The length of time of the maintenance phase will vary from patient to patient as every person is unique in their addiction.
In addition to this medically supervised treatment, Fritz Clinic offers Sublocade injections when appropriate for the patient.
