Even after they're told shock waves will be applied to the "affected area."
"Why erectile dysfunction?" said Gimelshtein, the CEO of Echelon Wellness. "We don't know the exact causes of it, but we know that military veterans and RCMP have a high incidence of mental health issues upon their transition out of the service. We don't know exactly why that's the case, but there are certainly trauma-related injuries and physical manifestation of mental injuries and mental manifestation of physical injuries."

A first-of-its-kind, wellness clinic has opened in Bedford South, exclusively for military and RCMP veterans.
Echelon Wellness says in a release, it is a one-stop solution to care for that part of the community.
The clinic says Veterans and RCMP have unique healthcare and administrative challenges resulting from their dedicated service and are “an underserved segment of the healthcare community across the country.” They offer a wide range of services including physiotherapy, osteopathy, massage and counselling.
CEO Igor Gimelshtein says HRM was a natural choice for the first location, with a highly concentration Veteran and RCMP community. “Veterans and RCMP have made significant sacrifices for our communities and way of life. They deserve our best in return. Echelon Wellness is designed to address their conditions, resulting from their service and professional experiences.”
Bedford is the first location, but St. John’s, Newfoundland is the next to open in the coming months.

First health-care clinic exclusively for veterans, RCMP opens in Bedford, N.S.
A health-care clinic exclusively for military veterans and RCMP members officially opened its doors in Bedford, N.S., on Wednesday.
According to a news release from Echelon Wellness, the clinic is a first-of-its-kind in Canada and will specifically cater to the veteran, active RCMP communities. Echelon offers services such as physiotherapy, pedorthics, counselling, and non-invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction.
“HRM was a natural choice as our first location,” said Igor Gimelshtein, CEO of Echelon, in the release. “The highly concentrated Veteran and RCMP community will directly benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to our health-care services. This will be the first of other locations we’ve identified from coast-to-coast where we can expand our platform of care.”
Echelon plans to open a similar clinic in St. John’s, N.L., in the coming months.
