Why Choose Kass Precision MEdicine for Shockwave Therapy
A Shockwave Pioneer
Dr. Kate Kass leads the industry as one of the first practitioners to utilize shockwave (AKA GAINSWave) therapy to treat erectile dysfunction on the West Coast and in Seattle. A breakthrough solution for better erections and optimal sexual performance at any age, shockwave therapies use cutting-edge technology for men seeking better erectile function. Dr. Kass is a shockwave therapy pioneer, one of only two doctors in the US who initially saw the potential and piloted the GAINSWave program. She and her team have performed thousands of shockwave therapy procedures since initiating the GAINSWave program and Kass Precision Medicine is one of the longest-standing providers of shockwave therapy for ED in the US.
THE TECHNOLOGY DIFFERENCE
Kass Precision Medicine uses a radial shockwave device with FDA certification to treat acute & chronic musculoskeletal pain. This is the type of device that is referenced in the majority of studies concerning ED shockwave functionality. Specifically, we employ a Storz medical device - which leverages over 75 years of medical research and development. This is a “scheduled” device - which can only be purchased and overseen by a medical professional.
A medical device’s true ability to address the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction lies in its energy output capacity and application. A certain amount of energy is necessary to cause a biological response in the tissue of the penis. Specifically, .22 mj/mm2 is the minimal energy output that is needed to successfully treat ED. This amount of energy encourages angiogenesis, breaks up scar tissue, causes neovascularization, creates a stem cell response, and stimulates nitric oxide production. Medical devices with negligible capacities (or less than .22 mj/mm2) are simply not able to deliver adequate energy to address the root causes of ED.
Since shockwave therapy became popular in the U.S., several companies have developed sub-par devices purported to treat ED. Even GAINSWave providers are not required to use any particular type of machine. Many devices are sold direct to consumers - some can even be found on Amazon! However, the effectiveness of these devices is not proven, and consumers should not expect significant or lasting results.
COMPREHENSIVE AND PERSONALIZED CARE
Kass Precision Medicine brings a comprehensive approach to treating men’s sexual challenges - whether it’s addressing erectile dysfunction or helping men who simply want to enhance sexual performance. You can expect that Dr. Kass will spend an hour with you on your first visit to discuss all the variables that can contribute to ED, including cardiovascular health, chronic conditions, weight, exercise habits, medication burden, and hormones. For many patients, Dr. Kass orders a comprehensive blood panel evaluating testosterone levels, thyroid function, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular markers. When you visit our clinic, you can expect an experienced medical provider - often Dr. Kass or one of our registered nurses - to deliver your treatments, as opposed to many clinics where a patient is handed off to a medical assistant for the procedure. Our clinic is dedicated to this comprehensive approach to ensure effective, long-term outcomes.
