Physical Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction
Physical therapy is helpful in addressing ailments that may affect many men. There are pelvic floor disorders in men such as erectile dysfunction, urinary or fecal incontinence, and pain in the groin, pudendal region, rectum, or lower back, that are assessed and treated in physical therapy. In fact, physical therapists have shown great efficacy in treating men with erectile dysfunction, addressing issues of the pelvic floor initially. At Well In Montclair, Shockwave and Emsella treatment may be suggested to aid you in the process of the recovery of function.
