What it is
Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which fibrous scar tissue develops in the deeper tissues under the skin on the penis which causes a curvature of the penis when it is erect.
How it is treated with physical therapy
Current research indicates that the most effective treatment for Peyronie’s is therapeutic ultrasound1.
Your Homework
Dr. Balzer will give you specific home stretches you can do to assist with the break down of the scar tissue.
How many sessions
The general treatment guidelines recommend 12 office visits over the course of 4 weeks.
On average, this approach can reduce curvature by about 17 degrees. For someone with a mild curve, that improvement can feel very significant. For more severe curvatures, it may not be a “cure,” but it can still provide meaningful change
