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.

GAINSWave® Treatment In Summerville, SC

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.

How GAINSWave® Works

It might sound like GAINSWave® is too good to be true, but the fact is this kind of erectile dysfunction treatment in Summerville, SC 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:

For most men, you can expect to have between 6 and 12 GAINSWave® sessions
Sessions typically take 15 to 20 minutes.
GAINSWave® works by releasing growth factors in your penis tissue, which generates new blood vessels.
GAINSWave® promotes healthy blood flow by breaking up plaque formation, giving men harder, stronger erections for longer periods of time.
GAINSWave® also activates dormant stem cells, which leads to new cell growth in men.

Hidden Risks of Prescription Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

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:

Back Pain
Muscle Pain
Headaches
Vision Loss
Rashes
Respiratory Issues
Hearing Loss
Dizziness
Upset Stomach
Ringing in Ears
Fever

GAINSWave Treatment Therapy Summerville, SC

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 Summerville, SC 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."

GAINSWave®, COVID-19, and ED

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.

GAINSWave®: A Natural, Non-Invasive Treatment for Peyronie's Disease

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.

Symptoms and signs of Peyronie's Disease include:

Erectile Dysfunction: Men with this disease may have problems achieving or maintaining erections.
Misshapen Penis: Some men with this disease suffer from a narrowing of the penis when erect, resembling an hourglass shape.
Notable Bend in Penis: One of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's Disease includes significant penis curvature, which is defined by a severe and unnatural bend.
Scar Tissue: A common symptom of this disease is bands of tissue or hard lumps underneath the skin of the penis.
Shortened Penis: Some men with this disease have reported a reduction in penis length.
Pain in Penis: Peyronie's has the potential to cause pain in a man's penis, regardless of whether he has an erection or not.

Fortunately, for men who are looking for a non-invasive, natural erectile dysfunction treatment in Summerville, SC GAINSWave® is the answer. Using low-strength soundwaves or shockwaves, GAINSWave® treatment in Summerville breaks down scar tissue affecting your penis, helps create new blood vessels, and opens up existing ones. As a result, blood flow is increased, which minimizes penis curvature and fixes the problems associated with erectile dysfunction.

P-Shot® Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Summerville, SC

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.

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.

Benefits of Better Life Carolinas' P-Shot® include:

Increased blood flow to the penis
Improved stamina during sexual activities
Improvement and possible resolution of penile curvature issues caused by Peyronie's Disease
Increased penis sensitivity
Improvements to penis girth and length

Yannick Smith scored 24 points for Summerville Sept. 1 and it wasn’t on the basketball court.

It’s pretty common for the all-state basketball player to post double-digit scoring on the hardwood, but for him to do it during the 2023 home opener for the Green Wave Football team was truly impressive. Summerville rolled past Berkeley, 62-27, at McKissick Field to improve to 2-0 on the season. The Stags fell to 2-1.

Smith scored two touchdowns through the air and another two on the ground, all in the first half, to give Summerville a 35-6 lead entering the third quarter. The senior receiver turned one pass from quarterback Jaden Cummings into a 33-yard TD and another into a 45-yard TD. He also scored on runs of 47 yards and 11 yards, taking a direct snap on both rushing TDs.

“We are lucky to have No. 3 on the field,” Summerville coach Ian Rafferty said of Smith. “He kind of bailed us out a lot. He is probably the best football player in the state. Berkeley has a good team and a good, young quarterback who is going to be the real deal going forward, but we made too many mistakes. Hopefully we will get that cleaned up.”

Summerville wasted little time setting the tone. On the second down of the opening possession, Cummings hit senior Sheldon Glenn with a short pass and Glenn raced to the end zone on the 60-yard TD catch. Junior Bennett Kelley then hit his first of seven successful PAT kicks on the night.

On second down of the Green Wave’s second possession, Cummings found Smith across the middle for the 33-yard TD catch and a 14-0 Summerville lead.

Summerville’s next score was set up when freshman defensive back Jaiden Kelly intercepted a Berkeley pass on the Green Wave side of the field and returned it to the Stags’ 11-yard line. Smith took it from there for a 21-0 Green Wave lead.

Berkeley answered with an 86-yard drive capped by a 15-yard TD run by freshman quarterback Henry Rivers to slow down Summerville’s momentum. However, Smith added his two longest scoring plays before the half.

On its first possession of the second half, Berkeley sustained a 66-yard drive with the help of a Summerville penalty. Rivers capped the drive with a 40-yard TD pass to Kayden Bash to cut into the Wave’s lead with 8:38 remaining in the third quarter.

After a defensive stop by each team, Summerville drove 85 yards largely on receptions by Quintrelle Pettiford and the running of Trae Green, who capped the drive with a 4-yard run into the end zone. Late in the quarter, Summerville moved into the red zone with receptions from Smith and Pettiford. Then Ashton Allen-Hawkins scored on an 8-yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Berkeley answered with a 65-yard drive capped by a 15-yard TD run by Tavon Frazier.

After that, Summerville went largely with a ground attack and scored on a 1-yard TD run by Green and a 22-yard run by DJ Grant. The Stags only managed one score in the final 12 minutes, a 25-yard TD pass from Rivers to Kevin Boone. Preston Short followed the final Stags’ TD with his second successful PAT kick.

“We kind of lost our momentum for a little bit with some penalties and letting them get on the board,” Rafferty said. “We need to do a better job of putting people away early. We did score a bunch of points and I’m happy to be 2-0. I think the big thing right now is we have to have more people contribute.”

Summerville travels to Wando Sept. 8. The Warriors are coming off a 55-0 trouncing of Stall so it looks like the Green Wave defense has its work cut out for it.

Other football action

Ashley Ridge traveled to Conway Sept. 1 and battled for a 33-25 victory. Ashely Ridge quarterback Trevor Kalisz connected with receiver Derrick Salley on multiple TD passes.

The Swamp Foxes improved to 2-0 with the win and host Colleton County Sept. 8.

Pinewood Prep had its first win of the season in sight Sept. 1, but fell 28-21 to Ben Lippen. The Panthers (0-3) took a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter but Ben Lippen rallied and scored the game-winning TD with two minutes remaining.

Pinewood’s Will Watson threw a 19-yard TD pass to Troy Dandridge and scored on a 53-yard run. Asa Windham threw a 55-yard pass to Daniel Wiggins for the Panthers’ other’ TD.

The Panthers travel to First Baptist Sept. 8.

Fort Dorchester had a long bus ride home from Atlanta after falling 41-0 Sept. 1 to Grayson High School during the Cam Newton Classic. The Patriots (1-1) have a bye Sept. 8 and return to action Sept. 15 when they host Berkeley.

Summerville celebrates rivalry’s 100th birthday with rout of Berkeley

SUMMERVILLE — On the 100th anniversary of the Charleston area’s longest high school football rivalry, Summerville senior wide receiver Yannick Smith put his personal stamp on the game, leading the Green Wave to a 62-27 win over the Berkeley Stags at John McKissick Field.Smith had a remarkable first half with four touchdowns, two via the air and two on the ground, as Summerville opened a 35-6 halftime lead.

Smith had a remarkable first half with four touchdowns, two via the air and two on the ground, as Summerville opened a 35-6 halftime lead. The 6-3 East Carolina commit had touchdown receptions of 45 and 33 yards from quarterback Jaden Cummings, and also ran for scores of 11 and 47 yards.

Cummings also tossed a touchdown pass to Sheldon Green in the first half. Cummings threw for 262 yards in the game. Running back Trae Green had two rushing touchdowns and Ashton Allen-Hawkins had a score.

Summerville scored on the second play of the game when Cummings connected with Green on their 60-yard touchdown less than a minute into the game.

After forcing a Berkeley punt, Summerville scored again on their second snap with Cummings and Smith combined on a 33-yard pass and run and the Green Wave led 14-0 with 9:28 left in the first quarter.

Summerville’s defense was up to the task as well early on, limiting the Stags to just four total yards in the first quarter. The Green Wave went up 21-0 on Smith’s 11-yard rush out of the wildcat formation. That score was set up by an interception and return of 74 yards by Jaden Kelly to thwart a Berkeley drive.

Berkeley put together its best drive of the first half, driving 86 yards on nine plays with freshman quarterback Henry Rivers scampering in from 19 yards to trim the lead to 21-6.

But Smith was not done, adding a 47-yard run out of the wildcat and catching a 45-yard pass from Cummings to give Summerville the commanding halftime lead.

Berkeley put together a scoring drive, aided by a key Summerville penalty on fourth down, to open the third quarter. Rivers capped the drive with a 40-yard pass to Kaden Bash, cutting Summerville’s lead to 35-13 with 8:28 left in the third.

Berkeley’s Logan Gaskins picked off a Cummings pass but the Stags were forced to punt. Summerville responded with an 85-yard drive, culminating on Green’s five-yard scoring run to push the Green Wave to a 42-13 lead with 2:18 left in the third.

Allen-Hawkins opened the fourth quarter with an eight-yard touchdown run to give the Green Wave a 49-13 lead. After Berkeley’s Dominic Fox scored a touchdown early in the fourth, Green scored his second touchdown of the night on a one-yard run with 6:12 remaining in the game.

The Stags got on the board once more with Rivers tossing his second touchdown pass of the night, a 28-yarder to Kevin Boone with 3:40 left.

The final minutes were played with backups and Summerville added a touchdown run with :34 seconds left in the game.

With the win, Summerville pushed its overall lead in the rivalry to 62-23-4. The Green Wave has won the last four.

One hundred years ago, Berkeley and Summerville played football for the first time.

“Moncks Corner overwhelmed by large score,” reported the Charleston News and Courier on Nov. 3, 1923. Summerville defeated the old Moncks Corner High School by 59-6.

“The entire Summerville backfield, Riggs at tackle and Hutchinson at end starred,” the article said. “O. Sanders at quarterback played a splendid game for Moncks Corner.”

Friday’s contest at John McKissick Field in Summerville will be the 88th overall in the series. The teams played sporadically in the 1930s and ’40s, mostly in the postseason.

The rivalry has featured many players who went on to star in college and in the NFL, and great coaches such as Summerville’s John McKissick and Berkeley’s Gerald Moody and Jerry Brown. Summerville announced Friday that the McKissick Museum, dedicated to the winningest football coach of all time, will open at 6 p.m. Sept. 1 before the Berkeley game.

The series heated up in the late 1950s, and the teams have played nearly every year from 1960-2007. That 2007 season saw each school play teams from Florida as part of a doubleheader. The series resumed in 2008 and has been played every year since.

Summerville holds a 61-23 edge in victories, with four games ending in a tie. The Green Wave holds the longest winning streak at 11 games in the series. The Stags won three straight from 2017-19, but Summerville has won the last three contests.

Current Summerville head coach Ian Rafferty is 5-0 all-time in the series. Rafferty was a player in two wins back in the 1990’s and has won all three meetings since he has been head coach.

For a long time, Berkeley and Summerville were the only high schools in their respective counties. The creation of new high schools over the years have added other rivals to each team’s schedules. Goose Creek came along in 1969, followed by fellow Berkeley County schools Stratford (1983) and Cane Bay (2008).

In Summerville’s district, Fort Dorchester (1992) and Ashley Ridge (2008) have also become rivals for the Green Wave.

“I think it still means a lot to some people, but things have really changed over the years,” Rafferty said of the Berkeley game.

Berkeley’s Eric Lodge, as a new head coach in the Lowcountry, is experiencing his first game against Summerville. The game still means a lot in Moncks Corner, he’s been told.

“I heard about that game during the interview process,” Lodge said. “I got the impression that for a lot of people, it’s still a big deal.”

As for this year’s meeting, one team will take its first loss of 2023. Summerville, the top-ranked team in the state for Class AAAAA, won its opener last week at Carolina Forest. Berkeley is off to a 2-0 start with wins over Timberland and Hanahan by a total of five points.

Both teams have excellent quarterbacks in junior Jaden Cummings at Summerville and freshman Henry Rivers at Berkeley.

“We need to play better than we did last week,” Rafferty said. “Berkeley has some good talent. Their quarterback (freshman Henry Rivers) is the real deal. They have our full attention.”

Lodge says the Green Wave is worthy of its lofty state ranking. He says Summerville has explosiveness on offense with a physical, fast defense.

Wright Cousins

Another area rivalry resumes on Saturday night as Cross hosts Berkeley County rival Timberland at 6 p.m. Cross head coach Shaun Wright and Timberland head coach Greg Wright are first cousins (their fathers are brothers). This will be the third matchup between the two as head coaches, with each having a win.

Timberland has dominated the overall series, which began after Timberland opened in 1997. Cross won games in 2000 and 2001 but did not win again in the series until last season.

In fact, Cross won the 2001 game when Greg Wright scored the winning touchdown for the Trojans. His cousin, Shaun, was an assistant coach on that team.

“Timberland sort of took off when Art Craig got there as head coach,” said Shaun Wright, who became an assistant at Timberland in 2002. “It should be a great game on Saturday night. Timberland is 0-2 but they could easily be 2-0. They are good.”

Cross is 1-1 with a win over Hemingway and a loss to Calhoun County. Timberland lost to Berkeley (36-32) and Indian Land (7-6).
