Peyronie's Disease Treatment in Charlotte, NC

Non-Surgical Plaque Reduction — Shockwave Therapy

Peyronie's disease causes penile curvature and pain that can severely impact sexual function and confidence. Charlotte Men's Clinic offers non-surgical treatment using focused shockwave therapy to break down fibrous plaque, reduce curvature, and restore function — without invasive surgery.

What Is Peyronie's Disease?

Peyronie's disease is a connective tissue disorder in which fibrous scar tissue forms beneath the skin of the penis, causing curved or painful erections. It affects an estimated 6–10% of men, most commonly between ages 40 and 70. The condition progresses through an acute inflammatory phase (6–18 months) and a chronic stable phase.

Causes and Risk Factors

Believed to result from repeated micro-trauma triggering abnormal wound-healing. Risk factors include age over 40, family history, connective tissue disorders, diabetes, prostate surgery history, and poor cardiovascular health.

How Shockwave Therapy Treats Peyronie's Disease

Focused acoustic wave technology targets fibrous plaque through mechanical disruption, tissue remodeling stimulation, enhanced blood flow, inflammation reduction, and growth factor activation. Charlotte Men's Clinic uses both focused and radial wave technology.

Treatment Protocol

Peyronie's disease typically requires 12 or more shockwave sessions over a 12-week period, performed once or twice per week. All treatments performed personally by Dr. David Croland.
