A swinger patient called Mark White the next day, amazed he had erections all night after the first shockwave treatment.

Dr. Dersh hosts Mark White, founder of GainsWave and the OmniWave Movement, to discuss acoustic shockwave therapy for sexual wellness and beyond. White describes himself as a healthcare entrepreneur who entered the field through a hormone optimization clinic in South Florida. His clinic began offering P-Shots, but patient aversion to needles led him to research non-invasive alternatives. He discovered shockwave therapy through a 2016 Men's Health article titled "Is this the next Viagra?" and found no U.S. providers at the time. White's clinic acquired a radial wave device and tested it on a patient from the "swinger community" who reported improved erections overnight. This success led to the trademarking of "GainsWave," a treatment protocol promoted on platforms like Ben Greenfield and Joe Rogan's shows. White explains the technical difference between radial waves, which are acoustic waves for surface-level treatment, and focused waves, which are true shockwaves that penetrate deeper. Focused shockwaves, comparable to lithotripsy for kidney stones, deliver energy at 1500 meters per second without causing significant pain. White claims focused treatments are faster, taking minutes instead of 20, and eliminate the need for numbing cream. He states the OmniWave device, manufactured in Florida, features a flexible head for adjustable depth and prioritizes patient comfort. The protocol involves delivering 2,500 to 3,000 shocks across five to six points in about ten minutes. White asserts the therapy works for both men and women, aiding urinary incontinence, pelvic floor strength, and orgasm intensity. An unexpected application emerged when White used the prototype on his own plantar fasciitis, and the pain reportedly vanished, allowing him to run within a week. He shares anecdotes of a woman who discarded her cane after two treatments for knee pain and his family members using it for various sports injuries. White positions shockwave as a gateway to comprehensive regenerative medicine, combinable with PRP, exosomes, or stem cells. He argues that mainstream U.S. healthcare incentives discourage curative treatments, contrasting it with greater European acceptance of holistic therapies. White references a 19th-century story about Dr. Lister and handwashing to illustrate medical resistance to innovation. Dr. Dersh notes that many medical society guidelines are funded by pharmaceutical companies and that sexual wellness studies often rely on surveys rather than double-blind trials. The conversation is collaborative and educational, blending technical explanations with entrepreneurial origin stories and patient testimonials. Listeners interested in alternative, non-invasive treatments for erectile dysfunction, chronic pain, or regenerative medicine will find this episode compelling. Those seeking strictly evidence-based medicine or skeptical of entrepreneurial healthcare narratives may find it less appealing.
