If there's one thing you can count on in life, it's that your body will change over time. Many men in their early 20s feel bulletproof and ready to take on the world. But it's only a matter of time before age starts to play a part in day-to-day life. Injuries take a longer time to heal, hangovers seem to last longer than ever, and aches and pains become part of normal life. For many men approaching middle age, something more concerning than backaches begins to happen: their ability to be intimate becomes more difficult. If you find that your love life is becoming or has become compromised, you're not alone - more than 18 million men are affected by erectile dysfunction in the U.S.
While it's completely normal to have trouble in the bedroom as you get older, that doesn't mean you have to settle for it. Unfortunately, in the past, men were taught to just “suck it up” and deal with their problems in private. Thankfully, those days are long gone. If you're ready to fight back against ED and regain your lost passion, Alpha Med Group has the erectile dysfunction treatment in Cityname, State, you've been looking for.

We're proud to have everything you need to improve your health and achieve your goals. Our providers will expertly handle your nuanced health challenges using advanced therapies like GAINSWave treatments to achieve a results-based outcome you'll love.
Some of the most common conditions we treat at Alpha Med Group include:
When it comes to male health, talking about sex can still feel a little taboo, even in today's modern times. That's especially true when there are deficiencies or performance concerns at play. If you're a man reading this and you're nodding your head in agreement, we know how you're feeling. Thankfully, you don't have to be angry or embarrassed about your performance for much longer.
While your primary care doctor might start you off with ED medications, such options don't really offer real solutions to your problem. Plus, they can cause concerning side effects. Thankfully there's a new, revolutionary therapy on the market called GAINSWave, and we'd be willing to bet it's unlike anything you've tried before.
Unlike most ED options, GAINSWave doesn't require drugs or surgery. Instead, it uses innovative acoustic waves to boost blood flow and stimulate tissues in your penis while also breaking up micro plaques. That means you can say goodbye to the days of sketchy blue pills and painful surgeries.
GAINSWave offers the first non-surgical ED option that helps with Peyronie's Disease and premature ejaculation as well. Alpha Med Group's GAINSWave treatments are painless and safe for most men suffering from erectile dysfunction. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, discreet way to enhance your sexual performance and achieve more substantial erections, GAINSWave is the long-term solution you need. Some benefits of GAINSWave treatments include:
You're probably thinking to yourself, “This all sounds great, but how does it work?” Don't worry; we've got you covered.
GAINSWave might sound too good to be true on the surface. However, this type of erectile dysfunction treatment in Clearwater uses science-based, research-backed applications and technologies that have been proven to be effective.
GAINSWave works by targeting the underlying issue of ED: blood flow. Continuous blood flow is critical in maintaining an erection. As men age, blood vessels in their penis break down and fill up with micro plaques, further reducing blood flow. GAINSWave treatment addresses this issue using low-intensity shockwaves or acoustic pulses to re-open closed blood vessels and help form new ones simultaneously. This increased blood flow essentially eliminates the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, letting men across the country gain a new lease on life.
Because this procedure is drug, surgery, and needle-free, most men won't have to stress about costly insurance claims or ugly scarring. All you need to think about is enjoying life with a new pep in your step, whether you're headed to work or spending time with your spouse in the bedroom.
Alpha Med Group's patients love that GAINSWave is quick, effective, and gets right to the root cause of their issues. Our GAINSWave treatments yield long-term results with optimized sexual performance and even treat other issues like Peyronie's disease.
Any man older than 30 can enjoy the benefits of GAINSWave therapy. Men with or without erectile dysfunction use GAINSWave to reshape their sex lives without resorting to over-the-counter pills and prescriptions like Cialis. While it's true that the “blue pill” can temporarily relieve ED, that relief is short-lived because pills don't address the root cause of the issue. To make matters worse, many drugs have unwanted and unsafe side effects. GAINSWave represents a much safer, more effective solution for men who are sick and tired of the stress and embarrassment associated with ED.
Whether you're dealing with severe erectile dysfunction or you simply want a little more spark with your partner, GAINSWave is the surgery-free, drug-free alternative you can rely on.
To help you get a better understanding of Alpha Med Group's GAINSWave therapy, consider these quick facts:
In today's day and age, products that promise quick results and convenience are king. It makes sense, then, that many men want the fastest solution to their ED problem. While it's easy to pop a “little blue pill,” doing so can come with consequences that you don't get with GAINSWave treatment. And when it comes to sketchy over-the-counter options that you can buy at your local gas station, the risks are quite concerning. Before you re-up your prescription or head to the gas station, consider these side effects:
If you're one of the many men who settled for strange side effects just to regain confidence in the bedroom, it's time to celebrate. Rather than relying on prescriptions or a la carte options, health-conscious men are using GAINSWave treatments for a safer, natural solution with no side effects.
Despite the fact that millions of men around the country suffer from erectile dysfunction, most males won't talk about it. Maybe it's because they're embarrassed. Maybe it's because they simply don't understand what's going on. However, ignoring the issue can have long-term consequences and may result in problems like Peyronie's disease.
Peyronie's disease, which affects about 9% of men, can occur at any age. It is most often characterized by a curve or bend in the penis, caused by fibrous scar tissue proliferating under the penis' surface. If the scar tissue isn't treated correctly, it can make achieving an erection difficult, creating a painful curve that makes sex almost impossible. Sometimes, symptoms of Peyronie's disease can work themselves out but most often, men need treatment to regain a healthy sex life.
While having a curve in your penis is relatively normal, having pain and discomfort with an erection most certainly is not, and a good sign that you need help. Fortunately, GAINSWave therapy has helped many men regain their sexual performance by reducing the curvature of the penis caused by Peyronie's disease.
Men suffering from Peyronie's disease may notice an array of symptoms, which may manifest quickly or slowly. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Severe Bend of Penis: One of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's disease is significant bending of the penis in a certain direction, with or without achieving an erection.
If you're one of the many American men who has lost hope because of Peyronie's disease, there is a new reason to be hopeful. Peyronie's disease is treatable, and you don't have to rely on surgery, vacuum devices, or a wait-and-see approach to get results.
If you're a man searching for a safe, non-invasive, natural treatment option for Peyronie's disease, GAINSWave therapy is the way to go. GAINSWave incorporates premium low-intensity, high-frequency shockwaves that break down plaque (or scar tissue) while opening and creating new blood vessels. When blood flow is increased, the penis curvature associated with Peyronie's disease is often reduced, giving men a new chance to enjoy a healthy sex life.
In today's modern world, with health-centric social influencers and body biohackers around every corner, the bar is high for body optimization. Peak performance in the bedroom is no exception. Men of all ages across the nation are searching for a certain edge in the bedroom. They want longer endurance, stronger erections, and a more enhanced sexual experience with partners.
Even men in their 20s and 30s, with no medical conditions, are trying gas station erection pills, injections, penis pumps, and other dangerous products to supercharge their penis and performance. Luckily for them (and you), GAINSWave can provide a natural, long-term solution that adds extra spice to your sex life.
Many men find short-term satisfaction in taking pills for better erections, but the truth is, these drugs are harmful when used frequently or recreationally. Males who take these pills risk becoming psychologically dependent and unable to perform when they're not around. In fact, men without medical conditions who rely on “little blue pills” for sexual enhancement may not be able to achieve a normal erection with their partner.
If you want to enhance your sex life and improve your erection quality, it's time to consider a long-term, natural solution like GAINSWave from Alpha Med Group.
For strong erections, you need to have blood flow to your penis. There are plenty of natural ways you can boost blood flow and improve your sexual performance. Some options include exercising, eating healthy, and managing stress in productive ways. Foods that help increase blood flow can also help reduce inflammation in your body too. If you're a smoker, try lowering your daily cigarette intake and add supplements to your diet, like vitamin D.
But if you're looking to take things up a notch in the bedroom, GAINSWave is the way to go. This proven, non-invasive treatment helps produce better erections and boost libido by increasing blood flow to your penis and stimulating the growth of new nerve tissue and blood vessels.
At Alpha Med Group, our focus is on your goals, your results, and your experience. We firmly believe that your story matters and our team is ready and waiting to listen. We provide functional, personalized, regenerative medicines that address root causes, coupled with an industry-leading, progressive care strategy that is centered around our patients.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — This year, America will turn 247. The Nation declared independence from Great Britain on July 4th, 1776. Now, imagine being alive for nearly half of that time and being able to recall major milestones in history. 140 years separate a Palm Harbor woman from that day in history!
“My name is Lorraine King. I just turned 107 years old," she said as she smiled at the camera.
These days, needlepoint occupies King's time. She's quite the creator—that may be one secret to her longevity.
“This is my therapy. What would I do? Sit here and die," she said. "As long as I’m creating something, I have to live to finish it.”
She also has a few ounces of a very specific wine each night: “Cherry Kijafa," she said with conviction. She’s been drinking it for at least 50 years.
When you sit down with King, the stories seem endless. But, if you asked the doctor who delivered her in July of 1917, his optimism for King’s survival was pretty grim.
“The doctor said don’t bother to name her. She won’t live two days because she has a murmur," she said. "I still have a murmur every time the doctor checks it. So you can live with a murmur.”
You can climb mountains too—she’s ventured five in her lifetime. She once got lost on Mount Washington when she was in high school and trekked through the night only to come out the other side in a different city.
“Oh, it was terrible," she recalled.
In 1940, she and her husband took a trip to Washington D.C., and while sightseeing, they took an underground train to the capitol building.
They paid a visit to the New Hampshire office, where she’s from, and got free tickets to the White House. The next day, “I get to the White House, I open the door, there’s no guards, no policemen, no gate, it’s all open!”
King said she never did get a glance of the president at the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt, but then again, she doesn’t recall seeing anyone.
“Well, it was very neat, but I didn’t see anybody!" she laughed.
A few years later, King would become one of the first Americans to own a television.
“It was in a frame, and it was round, and there was a lot of snow, and it wasn’t always clear," she said.
She’s upgraded over the years—a flat-screen TV now sits in the back room of her house. She doesn't have a cell phone, though. She had one for a short while but said she never used it and prefers the landline. Maybe she’s on to something.
One thing’s for sure, King is up by 6 a.m. and in bed by 8 p.m., meaning that routine is part of her incredible life. So, what does she think about being alive nearly half as long as America?
“I think that’s amazing," she laughed.
We do too, Mrs. King. Happy birthday!

PALM HARBOR, Fla. — A church in Palm Harbor is adding a brand-new pipe organ to its house of worship.
St. Alfred's Episcopal Church spent over a year raising funds for the musical instrument that will eventually cover some walls of the main sanctuary.
It was a moment Kevin Johnson, the church’s choir director, has waited for 22 years: a semi-truck pulling onto church property carrying pieces of the organ.
“It's wonderful,” Johnson said.
For the past two decades, Johnson has been dreaming of the day that his parish would be able to fill its sanctuary with the melodic tones of a pipe organ.
“There’s nothing that can imitate it, first of all," Johnson said. "It’s just a wonderful, unique sound.”
He has dedicated his life to the instrument, first learning how to play it in high school and further studying it in college.
“It’s the instrument I chose to study and to dedicate my life to so that’s what I think makes it most exciting,” Johnson said.
And the organ is not cheap.
“It’s over a million dollars,” Johnson said.
But in just one and a half years, the church, which averages about 80 to 100 people a service, raised $1.2 million.
“It’s just an incredible sense of thanksgiving,” Johnson said.
On Sunday morning, he and other members of the church celebrated with words of prayer and, of course, music.
“Pretty emotional," Johnson said after watching the morning’s ceremony welcoming the organ to the sanctuary.
Because when you’ve been praying for this day to come for more than 20 years, the choir director can’t help but feel emotional.
“Gratitude,” said Johnson. “Extreme gratitude to God.”
The road to filling the church with that beautiful music will take some time.
Pieces have been delivered to the church, but it will take several weeks to install the 2,019 pipes and two additional weeks to tune the organ before they can celebrate its complete installment at the end of July.
And after 22 years, Johnson said he doesn’t mind waiting a few more weeks to play the instrument in the church that he calls home.
During the construction, Johnson said the synagogue next door has offered its building for the church to hold some of its services while the organ is installed.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — If you have an old roof or too many claims, you might expect to get dropped by your insurance company. But a Tampa Bay area woman says she did everything right and her coverage was still canceled.
Jane Pictor still doesn’t understand why she’s received a cancellation letter, and turned to 8 On Your Side Investigator Mahsa Saeidi for help.
The thing is, the cancellation was not about Pictor, but it could leave her without coverage right in the middle of hurricane season.
Pictor lives in a modest community in Palm Harbor with homes dating back several decades. However, some things, like Pictor’s roof, are brand new. She just shelled out nearly $15,000 for it, out of pocket. She also paid for a wind mitigation and a 4-point inspection.
“Trees were trimmed prior to the roof being put on,” she said.
Pictor told 8 On Your Side she’s been in Florida for 20 years and has never had a claim.
“I’m feeling…being taken advantage of,” she said. “I’ve done everything that I know I can do… I’m still getting dropped.”
Pictor’s policy is with Heritage Insurance, one of the top providers in Florida, which insures e 166,847 homes in in the state, according to state data.
But soon, they’ll insure one less. Jane’s coverage ends Oct. 6, according to a non-renewal notice.
But it’s not her fault. The reason is “Other – agent no longer represents Heritage Insurance,” the notice said.
Jane said she wants to stay with Heritage and tried to get another agent.
“And he called back and he said no they won’t allow it,” Pictor recalled. “It’s their policy.”
“It’s always going to be based on what today’s underwriting rules are,” Ronald Assise, a longtime insurance broker in Florida explained. “It’s always going to be based on what today’s underwriting rules are.”
Assise says agents may get dropped if they have too many customers with claims. Once that happens, folks like Pictor could be out of luck.
“You may have qualified in the past but under the new underwriting rules you might not qualify now?” said Mahsa, asking for clarification.
“Right based on the age of your home, the age of your roof,” said Mr. Assise.
Pictor said she doesn’t want to be forced into getting state-backed Citizens Property Insurance. She likes Heritage and she wants to stay put.
“I’m a widower trying to keep the budget in line,” she said. “Have excellent credit and being denied insurance, house insurance, which I have to have in Florida with hurricanes.”
8 On Your Side reached out to multiple people at Heritage. Then, a short time ago, Jane called with the good news. She said Heritage just offered to renew her policy in a one-time exception.
Some industry experts say the agent plays an important role in this situation since they own the policy and it’s up to them to call other insurance companies and make sure the customer isn’t forced into Citizens.

PALM HARBOR, Fla. (CBS12) — Almost 17 years later, the car belonging to a missing man from Palm Harbor was recovered from a pond only a few miles from his home.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said on May 22, 2006, 34-year-old Robert Helphrey was finishing up his shift as a manager at the Thirsty Marlin seafood restaurant. After he closed the restaurant at 12:30 a.m., he joined his friends at Peggy O'Neill's Irish Pub and Eatery in Palm Harbor. At around 1:30 a.m., he left the pub and drove away in his blue/gray Mitsubishi Outlander hatchback with Florida license plates numbered G83NYD, that was the last time anyone saw Helphrey.
A friend of Helphrey's said he spoke to him at 2 a.m. since they were supposed to meet up. However, Helphrey never met him that night. The sheriff's office said Helphrey never arrived at his own apartment on U. S. 19 in Palm Harbor and has never been heard from again and his car was never found.

However, in June 2021, the Sunshine State Sonar and Recon Recover Dive Team teamed up with PCSO Cold Case Detective, Ron Chalmers to assist in the search efforts to find Helphrey. Over the next year and a half, teams sonar searched over 150 bodies of water in search of Helphrey. The search radius included areas of Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties.
In April 2023, a breakthrough was made.
On April 13, at around 7:30 p.m., teams got a hit on the sonar. Helphrey's car was located in a 10 feet deep retention pond just a few miles from his home. Crews said all signs point to a tragic accident. Dive teams dove into the water and confirmed that the license plate matched Helphrey's Mitsubishi. The sheriff's office was also present during the process.
Investigators say remains were found inside the car, but they are waiting for a positive ID.
