GAINSWave Therapy
in Lansing, Michigan

No. GAINSWave has two distinct protocols — GAINSWave for Him and GAINSWave for Her — and Dr. Eng delivers both. The Him pathway is offered for patients exploring non-pharmaceutical options where vascular contributors to erectile function are part of the picture, including patients with Peyronie's disease presentations. The Her pathway is offered for patients with concerns around sensation, arousal response, and certain pelvic-floor-tissue patterns. The underlying mechanism is the same; the protocol parameters and target tissue differ. GAINSWave is not a cure for erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, or any other named condition, and individual results are not guaranteed.

No, and Dr. Eng will not frame it that way. For some patients GAINSWave is a non-pharmaceutical option to try first, particularly when the contributing factor is vascular. For others it complements existing care — patients continuing their current medications or hormone protocols add GAINSWave as an additional input. The decision about whether it fits your specific situation, and how it sequences with anything you are already taking, is hers to make against your medical history and any relevant labs.

Most patients run a course of six to twelve sessions across several weeks, with the exact cadence and duration set by Dr. Eng based on the protocol selected for you. Improvements are typically progressive rather than immediate — the tissue response that the shockwave triggers builds across the series rather than appearing after a single visit.

Patients describe a brief acoustic pulsing sensation at the treatment site — distinct but not painful. No anesthesia is used; no incision is made; no recovery downtime is required. Most patients return to normal activity, including driving themselves home, immediately after a session.

Typically no. GAINSWave is generally a cash-pay service across the field, and Wellness Alternatives is no exception. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds toward it; the office can provide superbills if your plan offers out-of-network reimbursement for related services.

Conducted with the privacy and discretion appropriate to the subject. Treatments are scheduled in clinical rooms, not shared spaces; consultation conversations stay between you and Dr. Eng; standard medical confidentiality protections apply to all records.

Active infection in the pelvic region, certain active cancers in or near the treatment area, anticoagulant medication that has not been coordinated with your prescribing physician, and certain implanted devices in close proximity to the treatment field are the most common reasons Dr. Eng will decline to perform GAINSWave. Severe Peyronie's disease sometimes warrants surgical referral rather than shockwave; she will say so honestly if your case fits that picture. Each first-time patient goes through a contraindications screen at intake before any treatment is scheduled.
