“I have had sich a great experience seeing Dr. Bergin. When other offices have told me I just had muscle damage or the only thing they could do for me was give shots, he said he had others ways to manage my pain and numbness, along with improving mobility. And he was right! I feel so much better! With such friendly staff and welcoming office environment, it makes for an amazing experience. I'll definitely continue seeing him!”

Quick summary
Sexual dysfunction covers erection difficulty, low desire, arousal and sensitivity changes and discomfort, in men and in women. Care at both offices is non-surgical and drug-free. It starts with an honest assessment, then acoustic wave therapy using GAINSWave and Omniwave, with pelvic floor work added where it applies. Nothing is prescribed or injected here, and the consultation is private.
Understanding sexual dysfunction
Sexual dysfunction means a persistent difficulty with desire, arousal, erection, sensitivity, comfort or satisfaction that bothers you. In men it most often appears as erection difficulty. In women it more often appears as reduced arousal, reduced sensitivity or discomfort. Both are common and both deserve examination.
This is mostly about blood vessels and nerves, in men and in women.
There is a mental side too, and it is real. Performance anxiety feeds itself, and a few bad experiences build a pattern that outlasts whatever started it.
Medication, alcohol, poor sleep and long-term stress all contribute. What is causing yours decides whether anything offered here is likely to help, which is why we examine rather than assume.
How it works
Blood arrives
Arousal depends on blood arriving where it is needed.
The vessels widen
That depends on the small vessels being able to widen.
The nerves carry the signal
It also depends on the nerves carrying the signal to do it. Anything that narrows those small vessels or damages those small nerves shows up here eventually.
Why is this so hard to bring up?
Most people find this hard to search for and harder to raise at a rushed appointment. Almost everybody who comes here waited longer than they needed to.
Some have a prescription that works some of the time and does not feel like an answer. Some cannot take one. Some were told it is age and left with that.
What does an examination change?
Very few people have had anybody sit down and examine why it is happening. Sexual symptoms often show up before the health problem causing them shows up anywhere else, so examining is worth the trouble.
Dr. Justin Bergin has been in practice for 22 years and treats this as a medical problem to be examined.
Where does the conversation happen?
Consultations are private and unhurried, at the Lakeland office on South Florida Avenue and at the Lady Lake office serving The Villages.
Nobody here will promise you a result.
Independent background: Erectile Dysfunction, Urology Care Foundation.
Symptoms
Most people recognize their own version somewhere in this list. Each one maps to a specific finding the examination checks for.
- Difficulty getting or keeping an erection
- Erections that are less firm than they were
- Reduced desire or interest
- Reduced arousal or sensitivity
- Discomfort or dryness during intimacy
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- Symptoms that began gradually over months
- Loss of confidence about intimacy
- Changes that started alongside a health diagnosis
Common causes
Reduced blood flow in small vessels
Narrowed or stiffened small arteries limit how much blood arrives and how quickly. This is the most common physical mechanism behind erection difficulty, and it is what acoustic wave therapy is aimed at.
Diabetes and blood sugar damage
Sustained high blood glucose damages both small blood vessels and small nerves. Sexual and bladder symptoms are recognized consequences, which is why blood sugar belongs in this conversation.
Cardiovascular and metabolic disease
High blood pressure, high cholesterol and carrying extra weight all affect the same vessels. Symptoms here often precede a cardiac diagnosis by years, which is a reason to get examined.
Pelvic floor weakness or overactivity
The pelvic floor participates in arousal, continence and sensation in both sexes. It can be too weak and it can also be too tight, and those require different work, so it is assessed rather than assumed.
Hormonal change, medication and lifestyle
Hormonal change affects desire, arousal and comfort, particularly after menopause. Several medication classes, heavy alcohol use, poor sleep and stress contribute. Hormone testing and treatment are not offered here.
How we treat sexual dysfunction in Lakeland and The Villages
Care is non-surgical and drug-free, and acoustic wave therapy is the main treatment. It is delivered with GAINSWave for sexual wellness, and with the Omniwave platform the practice also uses on joints and tendons. Pelvic floor work is added where the assessment points there. Nothing is prescribed and nothing is injected.
Acoustic wave therapy with GAINSWave
GAINSWave is the acoustic wave protocol used for men's and women's sexual wellness. Low-intensity sound waves are applied to the treatment area to support blood flow in the small vessels.
It is drug-free, there is no needle and no downtime, and ChiroMed is an approved GAINSWave provider. No outcome is guaranteed and candidacy is assessed first.

Omniwave, the machine used for the same treatment on joints
Omniwave is the same acoustic wave technology the practice uses on tendons, knees and shoulders, applied here to a different area. The physics is identical and has been used in joint and tendon medicine for years.

Pelvic floor recovery when the pelvic floor is part of it
For men after prostate surgery and for women managing change after menopause, the pelvic floor often sits underneath both the sexual and the bladder symptoms.
Assessment decides whether it needs strengthening, releasing or retraining. Those are three different jobs.
Available at our 2 locations
Treatment at our Lakeland office, and also at:
What recovery usually looks like
Private consultation and assessment Your first visit
A full history covering health conditions, medication, sleep, activity and how the symptoms developed, in a private room with the door shut.
You are told honestly whether this is likely to be something acoustic wave therapy can help.
Through the protocol Across the course
Sessions are delivered in the office, you stay dressed apart from the treatment area, and there is no recovery time. Change is usually gradual rather than sudden.
Maintenance, and treating the cause Longer term
If the cause is blood sugar or circulation, treating only the symptom buys you time and nothing more. Any ongoing plan is discussed openly, including the option of stopping.
When to seek care sooner
What to try at home first: work on sleep, alcohol and activity before anything else, because all three affect circulation directly.
Ask your physician or pharmacist whether any of your medications are known to affect sexual function. Several common ones are, and a change is sometimes possible.
If you smoke, nothing else you do here will matter as much as stopping. Get your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar checked if you have not recently.
If you have a known heart condition and have not discussed sexual activity with your cardiologist, do that first.
Some symptoms need a physician right away. Chest pain or breathlessness when you exert yourself needs medical care first, because erection problems can be an early sign of a circulation problem.
So does a change that came on suddenly or after an injury. So does pain during intimacy, a new curve or lump, or blood in the urine or semen.
Cost, insurance and financing
Cost depends on what the assessment finds, on how many sessions are involved, and on whether pelvic floor work is part of it. We set it out at the consultation.

Who you would be seeing
How does he approach this?
Dr. Justin Bergin, DC is 22 years into practice. He treats this the way he treats a knee or a disc: examine, explain, and be honest about what is likely.
When will he send you somewhere else?
He will tell you when your symptoms point to something that needs a physician or a urologist instead.
He will also tell you when acoustic wave therapy is unlikely to be worth your money.
How private is the consultation?
Consultations are held privately and nothing is discussed at a front desk.

Sexual Dysfunction in recent research
These sources are independent of this practice and none of them endorses it. They are listed so the reasoning behind the care can be checked rather than taken on trust.
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
The federal reference on the vascular, hormonal and medication-related causes of erectile dysfunction, and on the medical workup it warrants.
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Guideline
The urology specialty guideline setting out evaluation and treatment options, including the cardiovascular assessment that should follow a new diagnosis.
Options compared, honestly
This is treated very differently depending on who you walk in to see. Here is the full set, including the options this practice does not provide.
| Option | What it is | Typically considered when | Invasive? | Offered at ChiroMed? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAINSWave acoustic wave therapy Our approach | Low-intensity sound waves applied to support small-vessel blood flow | You want a drug-free option, or medication is unsuitable or disappointing | No | Yes |
| Pelvic floor recovery | Assessment and retraining of the pelvic floor muscles | Symptoms follow prostate surgery, childbirth or menopause | No | Yes |
| Metabolic and vascular assessment | Looking at blood sugar, weight and circulation as contributing factors | Symptoms began gradually and other risk factors are present | No | Yes |
| Oral PDE5 inhibitors | Prescription tablets taken before intimacy to support an erection | A physician has assessed you and considers medication appropriate | No | Not performed here. We do not prescribe. Appropriate when a physician judges medication suitable and safe with your other prescriptions. |
| Penile injection therapy | Medication injected directly before intimacy, prescribed and taught by a physician | Oral options have failed or cannot be used | Minimally | Not performed here. Appropriate when oral medication has not worked and a urologist recommends it. |
| Penile implant surgery | A surgically placed device inside the penis | Nothing else has worked and the problem is severe and permanent | Yes | Not performed here. Appropriate when all conservative and medical options have been exhausted and a urologist recommends it. |
| Urology referral | Specialist medical assessment of the urinary and reproductive system | There is pain, curvature, blood, prostate history or a suspected hormonal cause | Varies | Not performed here, and we will point you there. Appropriate whenever the examination suggests a structural, hormonal or prostate cause. |
Several of these work and several are reasonable things to do. Medication manages one episode. Acoustic wave therapy is aimed at the blood supply itself. Many people use more than one, and there is no single right answer for everybody.

-
03A written program
Which disciplines, how many visits, over what period, and what it costs. Decided before anything begins.
-
04Reassessment as it runs
Function is re-measured through the course. If the response says the plan should change, it changes.

Sexual Dysfunction questions
Tap a message for the honest answer. Call Lakeland (863) 940-3444
What kind of doctor should I see for erectile dysfunction?
Start with whoever can assess the cause. A primary care physician can check blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. A urologist handles structural, prostate and hormonal questions.
We handle the non-surgical, drug-free part, and we refer you on when the examination points somewhere else.
Can a 75 year old man get hard?
Yes, commonly. Erections change with age. They can take longer to develop and may be less firm, and that is normal.
Being unable to get one at all is not simply age. It is usually a blood flow problem and it is worth examining. Age alone does not rule a man out of an assessment, and men in their seventies and eighties are seen here for this.
Does ED mean something is wrong with my heart or my blood sugar?
It can, and that is a reason to get checked rather than to panic. The same small vessels that supply an erection are affected early by diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Symptoms here sometimes arrive before anything else does. Ask your physician for the basic bloodwork.
How to stay hard without Viagra?
The non-drug options are the ordinary ones, plus one that uses a device. Sleep, alcohol, activity, weight and blood pressure all matter, and people underestimate all five.
Acoustic wave therapy targets the blood supply itself rather than a single episode. Nothing here is prescribed, and no approach works for everyone.
Is ChiroMed an approved GAINSWave provider?
Yes. GAINSWave is the acoustic wave protocol used for men's and women's sexual wellness at both offices.
The Omniwave platform behind it is the same acoustic technology the practice uses on joints and tendons. Whether you are a candidate is assessed at the consultation, before any session is booked.
Is this covered by insurance?
Generally no. Sexual wellness care is self-pay. Medicare coverage varies by plan and by service, so ask our front desk. They will tell you what applies to your situation before you commit to anything.
