Few things are guaranteed in life, but there is one thing that you can count on for sure: as time goes on, your body is going to age. While most men in their late teens through their twenties might feel invincible, it's only a matter of time before age starts to play a role in everyday life. Injuries take longer to recover from, hangovers take longer to dissipate, aches and pains become a normal part of life, and intimate time with your partner can be compromised. If you have experienced any of the symptoms above, don't worry - it's completely normal to slow down as you get older.
The question is, what are you going to do about the aging process? For years, men were told to just "live with it". The time to fight back is here, and there has never been a better opportunity to live your best life than now. Nobody understands the effects that aging can have on men but our team of professionals at Better Life do. That is why we invest all of our time developing innovative, effective men's health solutions: to give men a chance to change their future and live like they did while they were in their prime. If you're ready to take a stand against ED and live a more energetic, youthful life, know that you're not alone. At Better Life Carolinas, we are here to help by providing the most scientifically advanced treatments on the market today.
When it comes to men's health, the topic of sex can still feel taboo, especially when there are performance issues involved. At Better Life Carolinas, we have heard just about every story you can imagine regarding erectile dysfunction or ED. So if you're embarrassed and angry about your performance in the bedroom, we understand how you're feeling. In the past, men had to take strange drugs or sign off on expensive surgeries to help correct their ED, adding to their feelings of shame and hopelessness.
The good news? If you're a man dealing with ED, you don't have to settle for antiquated treatments like those referenced above. There's a new product on the block: a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that is the first of it's kind. It's called GAINSWave®, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it isn't like anything else you have tried before.
Unlike most ED treatments, this unique approach does not require drugs or surgery. Instead, it relies on high-frequency acoustic waves to open the penis's existing blood vessels, encouraging the growth of new blood vessels while eliminating micro-plaque. To put it simply, GAINSWave® increases blood flow and gives you a chance to reclaim your libido and live life like a man in his prime.
GAINSWave® isn't a sketchy, quick-fix pill found behind the glass at a gas station. It is a comprehensive erectile dysfunction treatment with an incredible 76% success rate. With virtually no side effects, it's no wonder that men throughout the Carolinas and across the United States trust GAINSWave® to solve their ED and Peyronie's disease problems.
It might sound like GAINSWave® is too good to be true, but the fact is this kind of erectile dysfunction treatment in Concord, NC uses scientifically-backed, time-tested technologies and applications to improve male sexual performance. Technically referred to as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT), our GAINSWave® procedure goes right to the crux of the issue. Low-intensity sound waves break up plaque formation in your penis while stimulating new blood vessel growth. These new blood vessels help get more blood to your penis, ultimately improving your ability to perform. This incredible treatment not only increases blood flow - it also causes new nerve tissues to grow, making your penis more sensitive and easily stimulated.
It all happens through a process called neurogenesis, which increases penis sensitivity. What sets GAINSWave® apart from others is the use of low-intensity sound waves to achieve increased blood flow and sensitivity. Because this procedure is completely non-invasive, you won't ever have to worry about expensive insurance claims or unsightly scarring. All you have to worry about is enjoying life like you used to, without having to undergo surgery or putting harmful substances in your body.
Here are some quick facts about Better Life Carolinas GAINSWave® treatments:
If you have ever wondered why GAINSWave® treatments are so popular with men, the answer is simple. Prescription drugs meant to help ED often come with side effects that can diminish your peace of mind and day-to-day life. While some men swear by the "little blue pill," many guys aren't aware of the hidden risks associated with drugs like Viagra. The following ailments can happen both in the short term and long term
If you are having problems with erectile dysfunction, you should understand why it's happening. The primary cause of ED is associated with a lack of blood flow to the penis, making erections difficult to get and maintain. Rather than relying on a prescription pill for a quick fix, many men are using GAINSWave® treatment in Concord, NC for a natural solution with no ill side effects. ED doesn't have to be your "new normal," and neither does suffering from strange side effects from popping too many "little blue pills."
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound effect on the world. Over the last year, millions of Americans have had to change their lifestyles and alter daily routines to better protect themselves and their loved ones from the virus. While COVID-19 causes a litany of negative side effects, new research shows that men who contract the virus can triple their risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Because the human body is unfamiliar with this kind of virus, it responds by sending a large immune response. During this process, the body uses massive amounts of chemicals to eliminate the virus, causing horrible collateral damage in the form of cell destruction and inflammation.
Contracting COVID-19 and suffering from ED at the same time might sound like a death sentence. However, if you are a man experiencing ED during or after contracting the COVID-19 virus, don't lose hope.
Clinical trials have shown that shockwave therapy, better known as GAINSWave®, has been shown to lower inflammation and boost vascularity by creating angiogenesis and improving endothelial function. Simply put, GAINSWave® treatments can help reverse symptoms of ED brought on by COVID-19. To learn more about how GAINSWave® can help you get back to a normal sex life after developing COVID-19, we recommend contacting our office today.
Though Peyronie's Disease affects about 9% of men, it is a little-known disease that can cause physical and aesthetic issues. It is characterized by fibrous scar tissue, which forms underneath the surface of a man's penis. When this disease is left untreated or treated improperly, it can be very difficult for men to have a normal erection. This is because Peyronie's Disease can cause painful curvatures in the penis, making it nearly impossible for afflicted men to have sexual intercourse at all.
The cause of Peyronie's Disease is currently unknown. However, most cases stem from physical trauma like acute injuries after vigorous sex. Other causes include prostate surgery, autoimmune disorders, and family history. Unfortunately, traditional treatment options range from a "wait and see" approach to prescription drugs and even surgery.
Most guys will tell you that their penis is the most important part of their body. While that is not totally true from a physiological perspective, we get where they're coming from - after all, a man's penis plays a big role in his personal life and overall wellbeing. When a man has problems achieving and maintaining an erection, his quality of life can suffer dramatically, resulting in lower self-esteem and even depression. If you are a man and suffering from ED or Peyronie's Disease, you can rest easy knowing help is only a phone call away.
In addition to GAINSWave® treatments, Better Life Carolinas also offers the Priapus Shot or P-Shot® for short. Originally used to treat wounds and sports injuries, our P-Shot® is an all-natural treatment that fortifies your body through cellular repair and rejuvenation. P-Shot® treatments have shown very promising results for men who have suffered from prostate cancer, enlarged prostates, the side effects of surgery, drug side effects from prescription pain killers, and even diabetes.
Benefits of Better Life Carolinas' P-Shot® include:
You might be asking yourself, "How does the P-Shot® work?"
This ED solution works by using platelet-rich plasma or PRP from your own body. The proteins and growth factors released by the large number of platelets activate your stem cells, which begins cellular regeneration and repair wherever the PRP are used in your body. Tissue repair in your penis is further aided by the formation of new blood vessels and collagen production.
In many cases, men who use the P-Shot® to correct erectile dysfunction or the effects of Peyronie's Disease can resume sexual activity a few hours after the treatment is applied.
Tell us about your case and how you prefer to communicate. We will reply by phone or email and provide a free legal consultation within one business day.

Crowds packed downtown Concord on Saturday as the city continued its celebration of the holidays with trolley rides, Santa and Mrs. Claus visits and Small Business Saturday specials.
Families frequenting restaurants and shops on main-drag Union Street and nearby roads were a welcome sight after two years of barricades and road-closed signs for a streetscape project. Businesses closed or moved as sales plummeted, CharlotteFive reported in August.
With most construction complete, shoppers are returning, buyers and business owners said Saturday.
“Downtown is alive again, and we’re loving it,” said Matt Peterson, manager of The Mullet thrift store.
“Downtown Concord people are starting to feel the energy again,” Lori Konawalik said. “They see the light at the end of the tunnel, that the streets were paved, and the sidewalks are so welcoming. There’s definitely a different energy now.”
Konawalik and her husband, Nick, opened the downtown Concord location of their Charlotte-based Mac Tabby Cat Cafe a year into COVID.
They endured construction of three condo towers beside and across from their 1863 building on Market Street, two years before the start of the nearby Union Street project.
Work on the condo towers came with street closures, water issues, outside debris and large cranes, Lori Konawalik said. “Literally anything that comes with being in the middle of construction,” she said.
“I’m a little bit stubborn,” Konawalik said as customers continued streaming into the cafe around 3 p.m. A band hired by the cafe played outside as customers relaxed at tables near a fire pit.
“I knew the potential of this town,” she said. “We knew it from the very beginning. We knew they’d do the remodel on Union Street. “
As a business owner, “you’ve got to keep walking past fear,” she said. “You have to step over it. You persevere.
“Do you love this enough that whatever happens — COVID, road closures — you just have to want it bad enough that you see it through to the other side,” Konawalik said.
Some businesses, however, saw sales plummet so much they couldn’t survive. Others moved or temporarily closed.
Anchor restaurant Gianni’s Trattoria left downtown at the end of March. The Cigar Loft closed in June, and Tokyo-Hanoi Fusion temporarily closed in early August, CharlotteFive previously reported.
Cabo Winery, Table 11 restaurant and Union Street Nutrition also closed in August.
“It was sad a few months ago,” Amelia Sexton, an 18-year-old Concord native and freshman at UNC Chapel Hill, said as she relaxed with her sister, brother and dad at Press & Porter Coffeehouse on Union Street South on Saturday.
“I saw shops open and close within three months,” she said.
The scene is different now, she and sister, Claire, a 21-year-old senior at UNC Chapel Hill, said.
“It’s been transformed,” Claire Sexton said. “I haven’t been on this street in years. I’ve never seen it this busy, and with so many young people.”
“It’s really like ‘Gilmore Girls,’” Amelia Sexton said, referring to the 2000s comedy-drama TV series. “It feels warm and cozy.”
Union Street Cafe opened in October and was packed with diners Saturday. Luxury salon Luxe at the Loft had its grand opening Nov. 2 at 11 Cabarrus Ave.
And more businesses are on the way to Union Street, including Charlotte homemade ice cream maker Two Scoops Creamery early next year and Charros Mexican Restaurant soon.
Garrett Paslo, a bartender at Lil’ Robert’s Place craft beer bar on Union Street, has witnessed the transformation.
“Everything being shut down here really put a hurtin’ on business in general,” he said. “The past week, things have been opening up, they’re getting everything squared away, and it’s been amazing to see people out enjoying the social district, enjoying downtown Concord. The past couple of days, business has been amazing.”
Roger and Paula Werth drove the 15 or 20 minutes from their home in Harrisburg to walk the downtown Concord social district and sit in the sun Saturday with porters from Lil’ Robert’s Place, a longtime favorite haunt.
“This is the first time we’ve been back since they opened the street,” Paula Werth said. The crowds impressed her, she said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s going to be like once the weather gets warmer” and restaurants put tables outside, Paula Werth said. She predicts even bigger crowds.
Cathy Jones likewise sees success for downtown Concord.
“I think it’s going to rebound,” the real estate broker and developer said as she enjoyed a Moroccan mint tea with lavender at Press & Porter. “I’m optimistic. I’m in real estate.”
Further down Union Street, 2 Gals Kitchen, which seats about 65, was nearly full with diners at 2 p.m. Saturday. Its street block is still under construction.
“We just want people to know downtown Concord’s alive, we’re thriving, there’s lots of businesses still down here,” owner Mary Niemeier said as she worked the kitchen. “And it’s beautiful down here. We got nice places to walk, places to eat, drink, shop. So we want people to keep coming.”
“We’re definitely seeing a light at the end of the tunnel,” Niemeier said. “We’re on an upswing over here, and it’s going to be great for everybody downtown.”
Visitors see it’s now easy to get around, and parking decks and garages offer plenty of spaces, she said. “People are ready to serve them,” she said. “We want people to know we’re open and ready to roll.”
In August, as the streetscape project dragged on, Robert Burrage told CharlotteFive that he closed Lil’ Robert’s Place during much of the construction and only recently reopened on Fridays.
Burrage, whose family has lived in the area for seven generations, also owns The Mullet, which adjoins Lil’ Robert’s Place and also has a bar.
Lil’ Robert’s Place looks forward to its 15th anniversary in February, Peterson, manager of the thrift store at The Mullet, said Saturday.
“So long as we make it to spring, I don’t see what’ll stop us from another 15 years,” he said.
