Benefits of Softwave

What are the Benefits of Softwave Therapy for ED?

Unlike some more traditional treatment options, Softwave therapy gets right to the crux of the ED issue. It uses shock wave technology on a cellular level, helping to naturally heal body parts, like the penis. Some of the most common benefits of Softwave therapy include:

  • Increases Blood Supply to Penis
  • Facilitate Stronger Erections
  • Helps Men Maintain Erections
  • Stimulates and Activates Stem Cells in Your Body
  • Remodels and Repairs Tissue
  • Helps Reduce Pain

Additionally, Softwave treatments don't require much prep, don't have any sketchy side effects, don't require any numbing agents or anesthesia, and result in little-to-no recovery time. Sound too good to be true? Contact Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine today to learn just how effective Softwave therapy is for our patients!

Shockwave Therapy

How Does This Shockwave Therapy in James Island, SC Work?

Softwave therapy works by using efficient, effective shock waves that cause biological regeneration processes that heal your body using its own healing factors. It works like this: Softwaves are created via a high-energy electrical discharge in water. The voltage is discharged between the plus and minus tips of an electrode. The spark gap or arching causes an equalization of voltage between the opposing tips of the electrode, which causes a hot plasma bubble. This bubble explodes and distributes in every direction, compresses the surrounding water, and generates a pressure > 10 MPa within nanoseconds.

To sum up, Softwave therapy uses low-intensity, unfocused energy that is delivered by a reflector in parallel waves. These waves help open up the blood vessels in your penis, allowing more blood to flow. At Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine, our team of expert physicians will develop a personalized Softwave therapy plan based on your body and needs. With the right number of treatments, you should be able to achieve and maintain firm erections as you did in your prime.

Healthcare Physical Medicine

What Can I Expect During a Softwave Therapy Session at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine?

A Softwave therapy procedure averages 10-15 minutes but may be longer depending on treatment area and diagnosis. A gel is applied to the surface area to be treated. The applicator produces pulses as the clinician moves around the treatment area. During therapy, communication with your provider is necessary to identify treatment areas and monitor progress.

Once treatment is over, you may resume your normal day-to-day activities. In fact, most patients can have Softwave therapy while on their lunch break. You don't have to worry about recovery time, side effects, or any downtime at all.

Ideal Candidate

Who is the Ideal Candidate for Softwave Therapy?

More than 50% of men will experience erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. If you're over the age of 30, have been suffering from ED, and don't want to rely on pills or surgery, Softwave therapy may be for you. That's doubly true if you've tried traditional treatments like Viagra and even surgery but didn't get the results you hoped for. Many academic studies about shockwave therapy for ED state that this revolutionary technology is successful where PDE5 inhibitors fail.

In fact, many urologists consider Softwave therapy the most promising ED treatment on the market. The truth is, even if you're not battling ED, men can use Softwave therapy as a preventative way to keep the magic flowing in the bedroom. Some of the key reasons to choose Softwave therapy over less effective, traditional treatments include:

  • No Reliance on Pills and Drugs
  • Softwave Therapy is Backed by Extensive Medical Research and Studies
  • Softwave Therapy Has a Vast Record of Success
  • Softwave Therapy is FDA-Approved for Enhanced Sexual Wellness
  • Now Available at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine

Q. Has the FDA approved softwave therapy for ED in cityname, state?

A. Yes - Softwave therapy is FDA 510(k) approved for:

  • Improved Blood Supply (low blood flow is the primary cause of ED)
  • Chronic Foot Ulcers from Diabetes
  • Pain Reduction
  • Treatment in 2nd-Degree Burns

Q. Is softwave therapy painful?

A. Softwave therapy does not require surgery or any invasive form of treatment. With that said, some patients describe minimal discomfort or pain during our softwave treatments. Should this occur, your medical specialist will make necessary adjustments. Usually, patients do not have to endure any pain at all and only experience a pulse or tapping feeling on their skin.

Q. How long is a Softwave treatment session?

A. An individual session only takes five to fifteen minutes. It's typically recommended that patients have treatment once a week for three to five weeks. The length and frequency of your Softwave therapy sessions will be determined after you visit our medical clinic for a comprehensive evaluation.

Q. How long does it take for Softwave therapy to work?

A. Every patient we treat is different, and as such, will have different treatment recommendations. Often, patients notice the results of Softwave therapy after the first session. However, for the longest-lasting effects, most patients need between three and four treatments, with a week of non-treatment after every session.

Q. Can I combine Softwave therapy with other treatments from Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine?

A. It's hard to give a definitive answer to this question since every patient is different. It's important for you to have a full evaluation to determine the scope of your needs and the appropriate therapies. However, Softwave therapy often works very well with other treatments. In fact, other therapies offered at our medical clinic like massage therapy and chiropractic care can make Softwave treatment even more effective.

Remember - our team at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine is always happy to answer any questions you may have about ED or our ED treatments. Give us a call today - it would be our pleasure to get to know you better!

A new island café and bar on Johns Island is now open daily serving those who need a quick morning caffeine kick or an evening snack on the patio.

The Heyday is a new eatery born from a love of the sea island lifestyle, embodying quintessential Lowcountry culture, said owner James Groetzinger.

Open seven days a week, The Heyday offers a brunch and supper menu centered on farm-to-table produce, fresh seafood and local purveyors. The counter-serve restaurant will have a full bar with cocktails on tap, along with a wraparound porch and fire pit.

“The design and feel of the space is that of a classic Charleston café with modern coastal touches, an ode to the historic farmlands of Johns Island with a fresh perspective,” said Groetzinger, owner of Island Provisions, a daytime café with locations on Johns Island and in downtown Charleston.

Menu highlights include the asparagus and goat cheese frittata for brunch and the grits and creamed collards with crispy flounder for supper.

“We got our she crab recipe from an old cookbook from some church ladies on Wadmalaw,” Groetzinger said, and guests can’t go wrong with the baked clams and spring salad specials.

The new restaurant, which Groetzinger designed and constructed, opened Jan. 24 in the 16-acre Hayes Park mixed-use development, joining Somm Wine Bar, High Steaks Butcher Shop and others.

“Hayes Park has several new businesses that are locally owned, as well as 56 townhomes for sale,” he said. “So we have actual homeowners on-property. It is meant to be a little village.”

JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - Some James Island residents are at odds over how their tax dollars should be spent after a years-long agreement with the public service district was put to an end.

The Town of James Island first adopted a cost-share agreement in 2019 with the James Island Public Service District to help fund services like fire and solid waste collection. Now, with this agreement ending, the town is putting the money toward infrastructure and parks projects, causing residents to have to pay more in their taxes to help fund the services the town once supplemented.

And the decision has some neighbors, like long-time James Island resident Ronald Wiggins, frustrated.

“It shouldn’t have been ended,” Wiggins said.

JIPSD district manager Ashley Kellahan sent the following statement in response:

The James Island Public Service District provides solid waste collection, fire projection, and wastewater services for citizens who reside in the Town of James Island as well as those who live in unincorporated Charleston County on James Island.

Since 2019, the Town of James Island offered its residents a credit to their property taxes. It’s important to note that our property taxes are for solid waste collection and fire protection services only. The Wastewater department is solely funded by user fees.

This year, we were informed the Town voted to end the Cost-Share agreement. For residents within the Town’s jurisdiction, this will result in an approximate increase of 28% to the JIPSD portion of the taxes, and an approximate increase of 15% to the overall property tax bill.

We are not raising property taxes this year, but since the Town’s credit is being removed, the result will be higher taxes for Town of James Island residents.

The town itself does not provide any tax bill.

Other resident Butch Cooper says he owns two homes on the island.

“So, my bill will probably go up $800-$900 a year,” Cooper said. “A lot of money.”

James Island Mayor Brook Lyon says the decision came from a resolution made during a recent town council meeting. Some say it should have been a town vote.

“The biggest thing, I think, is the mayor needs to start letting everybody on James Island know,” Cooper said. “If you’re going to do something that affects the whole island and everybody in it, they should know about it.”

Lyon says this extra money will now go towards more greenspace, a vac truck for drainage — which she says is desperately needed — and other additions like public restrooms and a pavilion at Mill Point Park.

“No other municipality does this sort of thing either and unfortunately, we feel like it’s a much better service for our citizens,” Lyon said.

James Island resident Schuyler Blair agrees with her.

“Unfortunately, our world is getting more expensive and sometimes money is needed to do the bare minimum and to make sure that we continue to be who James Island is,” Blair said.

Other resident Wendy Teel agrees with the mayor and provided this statement:

“There is community value in JIPSD using its funds and land sales proceeds to build updated fire stations, operate waste pickup & disposal, continue sewer operations while updating failing infrastructure.

There is also community value in the Town of James Island being able to afford securing some of the remaining green spaces on James Island for parks and community activities! Even passively, the community benefits from parks and unpaved natural spaces as they help absorb excess rain and stormwater. This helps prevent flooding in neighborhoods.

The Town of James Island should be able to use their funds to better the town for the community, and I am in support of ending the cost-sharing agreement with the JIPSD in order to do so!"

This tax increase will go into effect this June.

“We need to buy as much land left as we can to keep the quality of life improving for our citizens,” Lyon said.

“If you want to do that, get private investment and people donate to buy the land,” Wiggins said. “Don’t use tax money to do it.”

A miniature golf course with an onsite restaurant and bar has been proposed for a busy corner on James Island.

The lot at Folly Road and Grimball Road Extension is currently empty and surrounded by a chain-link fence. It's across from Spyglass Seaside, a resort-style apartment complex.

Plans have been submitted to transform the property into a development called Community Corner, which would include a miniature golf course with a restaurant, bar and retail space on nearly three acres. The applicant is Grimball Corner Investments LLC.

The developer is looking to incorporate 114 parking spaces, most of which would be on another parcel across Grimball Road Extension. There is an existing traffic signal at the intersection, and sidewalks would be added to both sides of the property, renderings show.

The area is zoned for limited business, which allows for a variety of commercial uses and services that are compatible with residential areas.

Charleston’s Technical Review Committee, a staff-level look at site plans, considered Community Corner on Jan. 16. The city asked the owner to revise and resubmit plans based on concerns about stormwater runoff, flooding, traffic and other issues.

Charles Wilson of Grimball Corner Investments declined to comment about the development.

Pop-up no more

Think pink. Lots of it, in every shade.

That's what shoppers of Freshfields Village can expect when LoveShackFancy transitions from a pop-up to a permanent boutique at the Kiawah Island retail center.

New York City-based lifestyle brand was founded in 2013 by stylist, designer and creative director Rebecca Hessel Cohen who wanted to revel in the beauty of a rose-colored world.

The new Charleston area store offers an expanded selection of its uber-feminine women’s fashion and accessories, as well as perfume bedding and a children's collection.

In 2018, Cohen opened opened her first Charleston storefront at 218 King St. She now operates 20 stores throughout the U.S., from California to New York, and the United Kingdom.

Nearby in Freshfields Village, Café Eugenia, a to-go café and gourmet market, is expanding to a space next door and will be offering cooking classes and specialty workshops.

StretchLab, an assisted stretching studio, also opened 164 Gardeners Circle in the outdoor retail center. The studio offers help with increased mobility, improved posture and injury prevention through one-on-one stretch sessions for all fitness levels.

The franchise previously held a popup at the shopping center offering 15 minute demonstrations.

Another StretchLab is currently open on 151 Market St. in downtown Charleston.

Bank note

An Alabama lender has cut the ribbon on a new branch at 319 North Cedar St. in Summerville.

The site is the second in the Charleston area for Birmingham-based ServisFirst Bank, which for years has had an office in The Cigar Factory at 701 East Bay St. on the peninsula.

The Flowertown outpost will have 10 employees and features a drive-thru.

Coast-to-coast

Southern California lifestyle brand Jenni Kayne is making its Palmetto State debut on Charleston's busiest retail corridor.

The West Hollywood company said it plans to open its first retail location in the state on April 12 at 364 King St., between Calhoun Street and Burns Lane.

The 2,340-square-foot parcel will stock a full range of Jenni Kayne's coastal-inspired products, including apparel, accessories and décor. The store will also carry Oak Essentials, the founder's clean skincare line.

Drink up

A New Orleans-style restaurant in North Charleston is angling to add beer and liquor to its menu offerings.

The Seafood Pot recently applied to the S.C. Department of Revenue for on-site consumption of adult beverages in its Gas Lite Square location at 5629 Rivers Ave.

Taco 'bout Nexton

The Mexican-style restaurant El Patron Nexton is preparing to open and recently submitted an application to sell beer, wine and liquor at its at future Marketplace at Nexton space at 422 Cross Park Lane.

A new chapter

A dark academia-inspired coffee shop and bookstore will officially open April 12 in Mount Pleasant.

Patrons of The Archive can buy a book, sit at the bar and enjoy a cocktail or mocktail, coffee, pastries and more in its corner spot at 700 Shelmore Blvd., near Mathis Ferry Road and the I'On neighborhood.

The store tailors to a subgenre of romance books and thrillers typically set in schools or secret societies, but will have something for everyone, owner Amanda Badeau said.

Enviro-outlet

Tanger Outlets in North Charleston will hold an Earth Day event April 19 from noon-3 p.m. with live music, native plant and bouquets sales, and a free gardening class. There will also be critters from the S.C. Aquarium, local vendors and hands-on workshops about protecting the environment.

JAMES ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - When a student misses school, it can be hard to get caught up, which has prompted a James Island teacher to start collecting materials to help.

Jennifer Wakefield teaches International Baccalaureate Anthropology, AP European History and U.S. History at James Island Charter High School. Wakefield, who has worked at the school for eight years, says her students are what she likes best about her job.

“These guys, like working with the kids, yeah. I like watching the light bulbs go off,” Wakefield says.

In a school full of kids, sickness is bound to happen, but Wakefield says she wants to be prepared.

“We’re in my IB class, so it’s a lot of work, it’s high-level work and so missing days can be super detrimental,” she says.

Some of her students have six classes a day, which she says it a lot to miss and a lot of make-up work, which can add to a student’s stress. With multiple classes and many students, she says supplies can run out quick.

“We actually just used the last, one of my last tissue containers, and so it’s either the kids have to go use toilet paper in the bathroom or I have tissues in here and so that’s one of the main things I really need,” she says. “Hand sanitizer we’re running low as well.”

She says sometimes she must purchase supplies for students out of her own pocket, and this is not always sustainable.

“These extra kind of things are really great to have and without, I wouldn’t be able to on my salary, like, be able to buy some of the stuff,” Wakefield says. “So, it’s nice to be able to give kids options and give them extra supplies that the school can’t or doesn’t provide.”

Wakefield says she wants her classroom to provide students with a calm environment to work where they can feel at home.

“School can be stressful, so I try to make it as comfortable as possible in here for them,” Wakefield says. “So, this kind of stuff are things that are extra but they do change in the way people the kids enjoy school.”

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - James Island Town Council met Thursday to discuss a hot topic among community members, stirring up some concerns.

The Cost Sharing Agreement between the town of James Island and the James Island Public Service District comes to an end after six years.

Every year, the town sent a certain amount of money to subsidize PSD taxes for community members.

The PSD delivers water, sewer and fire services throughout the island.

Person after person spoke at public comment–the majority of whom were against the council’s decision to get rid of the cost agreement that was originally signed back in 2019.

“I was born and raised on this island. We, the people, are angry at the arrogance of imposing taxes on families after an insane inflation of the last four years,” community member Steve Browder said.

Because those PSD services were subsidized under the agreement, a handful of town residents are concerned that getting rid of them will increase PSD tax bills including water, sewer, and fire services.

However, there were a few other residents who were for this change.

“And I’m thankful for that. Don’t get me wrong. I want it to stay like that. I don’t want it to go all the way up, but at the same time, you have to understand that there is a cost to living. There’s a cost to safety. There’s a cost to growth. There’s a cost to prosperity. And unfortunately, just like we’re all talking about, inflation, things are moving up. And to do anything, whether it’s a drainage project or whether it’s an art project, it takes capital, right?” community member Schuyler Blair said.

This past year, the town sent $1.3 million to subsidize those taxes, but with this change, they’re not going to be losing money. They will reallocate that money toward the park and the art center in the town.

“So some of us will pay more, some of us will pay less depending on the value of your homes. But again, It’s not money that we are levying. It’s rates and mileage that the PSD has levied that we have been subsidizing. I say we, I mean, all this industry [has] been subsidizing,” Councilman Daniel C. Boles said.

When it came to voting to give the mayor authority to make the call, the council voted 4-1, with one councilman opposing.

“You know, I’m not sure if we’d have to do an amendment. I’m not sure how this would be handled since it is all new territory. But again, this is a complicated plan. I do agree with that. But it was a plan that I believe benefited a lot of people,” Councilman Darren “Troy” Mullinax said.

During the discussion, the majority of the council members repeatedly said they want to be frugal with their money and funds, while still providing for their community.

In fact, many of them said going away with this agreement won’t be as destructive as it sounds when comparing James Island to other nearby cities and towns.
