Why patients choose MS Insight
A different way of thinking about treatment
MS Insight is not built around the idea that one treatment fits all. The clinic is built around the idea that good treatment starts with a better understanding of the problem.
This is the approach that is common across erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s, pelvic pain, incontinence and other related conditions.
The goal is not just to offer treatment, but to give you a more accurate assessment, a more thoughtful plan and a feeling of being in safe hands every step of the way.

What makes Michael and MS Insight unique to men's sexual health?
You are meeting Michael Strøm directly
MS Insight is a specialized private clinic in Copenhagen focusing on men’s health, sexual function, pelvic issues and selected courses with incontinence and chronic pain for women.
When you come to the clinic, you meet Michael directly. You won’t be passed around in a system or between different therapists. Michael is in charge of assessment, strategy and treatment. For many, this in itself is an important part of the sense of security.
Michael is an internationally recognized shockwave expert, sexologist and keynote speaker. He also works as a consultant and trainer for shockwave manufacturers MTS Medical and Elvation Wolf internationally. This gives you access to a rare combination of clinical experience, technological insight and practical understanding of how different therapies should and should not be used in real life.
Michael has previously had a career in defense and competed in triathlon at a high level.
The focus is not to sell you a standard treatment
A strong clinical judgment is not about making everything sound like the right solution. It’s about being honest about options, limitations and likely impact.
Some clients are obvious candidates for shockwave. Others need a broader strategy where EMTT, pelvic floor, lifestyle, diagnostics or other interventions play an important role. In some cases, it’s just as important to explain what a treatment can’t do as what it can. Therefore, the clinic may not offer you treatment if it is not considered relevant.
At MS Insight, the goal is not to push you into a process, but to help you understand your situation and choose the right next step. For many, this is where the greatest peace of mind comes from: the experience of being taken seriously, getting a real explanation and meeting a specialist who does not work from standard models.
Advanced assessment for more accurate trajectories
Many symptoms in this area are similar on the surface, but can have very different causes.
Among other things, this applies to:
Erectile Dysfunction and Impotence
Peyronies, Crooked Penis and Crumbs
Pelvic Pain and Cushioning Symptoms
Incontinence and Impaired Function
Chronic Pain and Persistent Irritations
That’s why clinical assessment and ultrasound scans are often an important part of the work at MS Insight. Not as a decoration, but as a concrete tool to create more clarity.
When it becomes clearer whether the problem is primarily related to blood flow, tissue, plaque, nerve impingement, tension patterns or pelvic floor, it also becomes easier to determine:
If shockwave makes sense
Whether EMTT & laser should be included
Whether treatment should be combined with other measures
And what the expectations should be from the start
It makes the processes more targeted and more honest.
The first step should feel manageable
For many, the hardest part is not the treatment itself. It’s making the first contact.
Problems like erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, incontinence and pelvic pain often affect far more than the physical. They can affect self-understanding, relationships, peace of mind and confidence that things can get better.
That’s why the first step shouldn’t feel like pressure. It should feel like the beginning of clarification.
At MS Insight, the goal from the first contact is to create calm, overview and a feeling of being met professionally and confidentially. Not judged. Not pressured. Just taken seriously.
Causes of erectile dysfunction and can it be helped by MS Insight?
Erectile dysfunction can have many causes. For some men, it’s due to stress, lifestyle or hormonal conditions. Others have reduced blood flow, nerve damage, scar tissue in the penis or the effects of illness, diabetes or prostate surgery.
Common to many is that treatment is often started without a precise clarification of the cause. This rarely leads to lasting results.
At MS Insight, treatment of erectile dysfunction always starts with a thorough assessment. Through conversation, clinical examination and targeted ultrasound scans, blood vessels, tissue and nerve function are assessed to identify the specific cause of the erectile dysfunction.
Based on the assessment, you will get a realistic assessment of:
Why your erection is not working optimally
Which treatment options are relevant
What you can do to improve the situation
To provide an overview of the most common mechanisms, I have gathered knowledge and clinical experience in the article “15 causes of erectile dysfunction“, where you can read more about the factors that affect potency and erection.
If the assessment shows that tissue or circulatory stimulation is relevant, treatment may include focused shockwave or Magnetolith (EMTT). These methods are used for both mild and more complex erectile dysfunction, including after diabetes or prostate surgery – but only when they address the identified cause.
The goal is lasting erection improvement based on correct diagnosis – not standard solutions.
What are peyronies / crooked penis / curvature of the penis?
Peyronie’s disease, also known as crooked penis, is a relatively common condition that can affect up to 10% of men in their lifetime. The condition is caused by an inflammatory process in the tissues of the penis where scar tissue (plaque) forms, which can affect shape, pain and erectile function.
The inflammation can involve both connective tissue and the erectile structures in the cavernous bodies. It can cause pain, reduced elasticity and a gradual curvature of the penis, especially during erection.
The best treatment options for Peyronie’s are typically seen in the early stages, as soon as you notice symptoms and up to about 12-15 months after the onset of symptoms, when the tissue changes are not yet fully stabilized.
Typical symptoms of Peyronie’s disease
Pain in the penis, both flaccid and erect
Curvature or bending of the penis during erection
Reduced erection quality
Palpable hard nodule or string in the penis similar to plaque
To correctly assess the condition and choose the right treatment, accurate assessment is essential. At MS Insight, detailed ultrasound scans are performed to assess the location, size and impact of plaque and blood flow.
Based on this assessment, treatment can be targeted. In the early stages, focused shockwave can be used to dampen the inflammatory process and limit the development of scar tissue. In more chronic cases, shockwave can help reduce stiffness in the tissue and in some cases reduce curvature.
Treatment is always tailored to the stage of the disease and the individual man’s symptoms. The goal is to slow progression, reduce discomfort and preserve function – not to offer a standard solution.
Combination therapy with EMTT and Shockwave, why is it more effective?
Combining focused shockwave with EMTT (Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy) can achieve a more comprehensive and in-depth stimulation of tissue, blood vessels and nervous system than shockwave alone.
Shockwave is primarily used to stimulate tissue healing, blood flow and remodeling locally in the treated area. EMTT complements this effect by affecting the tissue at greater depth and activating biological processes, including increased tissue elasticity and release of growth factors that support vascular function and tissue response.
The combination means that:
Both superficial and deeper tissue structures are stimulated
Blood flow and microcirculation are improved more effectively
the biological response becomes stronger and more sustained
For men with more pronounced or complex issues – where options may be limited – this combination treatment may provide a significantly better response than single treatment.
EMTT was introduced by me in Denmark in 2020, and since then I have gained significant clinical experience using the technology, both nationally and internationally, in combination with shockwave.
The goal is not to use as much technology as possible, but to choose the combination that provides the greatest biological effect. With this in mind, combination therapy with EMTT and shockwave is today considered one of the most advanced and promising approaches for erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, incontinence and pelvic pain – when used in a targeted manner and with the right indication.
Erectile dysfunction after prostate cancer surgery - treatment options
Erectile dysfunction is a common consequence of prostate cancer surgery. However, in cases where the nerve tissue around the prostate is fully or partially preserved, there are treatment options that can support the recovery of erectile function.
At MS Insight, focused shockwave and EMTT are used as part of a targeted approach to stimulate nerve tissue, tumor bodies and blood flow. The treatment can be combined with medical treatment or injections when appropriate to achieve the best overall effect.
Timing is crucial. Experience and research suggests that treatment should start early – preferably within the first 1-3 months after surgery. Early intervention can help:
Stimulation of nerve healing
Preserving the function of the tumor bodies
Reduction of scar tissue formation
Reduction of incontinence
My clinical experience shows that the earlier treatment is started, the greater the likelihood of a satisfactory outcome.
The treatment is also used today at Odense University Hospitalwhere, in selected cases, rehabilitation is started just a few weeks after surgery, provided that all cancerous tissue has been removed.
Although the effect is generally greatest with early initiation, I also see improvements in men who start treatment later. These cases typically require a more specialized and individualized approach, which can be offered based on a thorough assessment.
The goal is always to create the best possible conditions for recovery of function – based on correct timing, realistic expectations and targeted treatment.
What does self-esteem mean for erectile function?
Low self-esteem, performance anxiety and stress can have a direct negative impact on both sex drive and erectile function. Many men find that a few unsuccessful sexual experiences develop into a vicious circle, where worry, shame and pressure of expectations themselves become a contributing factor to the problem. This is a problem I often encounter in the clinic.
Erectile dysfunction is rarely either physical or mental alone. In many cases, they affect each other mutually. Therefore, focusing only on the body or only on conversation has limited effect.
As a sexologist, I work with a combined approach where physical treatment – including shockwave when relevant – is supplemented with structured conversations. The focus is on identifying and working with performance pressures, negative thought patterns and past experiences that can perpetuate the problem.
The aim is not therapy in the classic sense, but to give you concrete tools to regain control, confidence and trust in your own functioning. When the mental strain is reduced, both erectile function and sexual desire often improve.
This holistic approach can contribute to more stable results – not only in terms of erections, but also in terms of self-esteem, well-being and relational security.
The pudendal nerve - complex pelvic floor pain
The pudendal nerve has a complex anatomical course through the pelvic floor and when irritated or affected can cause significant pain and discomfort. Symptoms can vary and include pain in the abdomen, pelvis, perineum and genital area as well as functional disorders.
In order to assess whether the pudendal nerve is involved, a thorough examination is essential. This requires an understanding of nerve pathways, tissue involvement and stress patterns in the pelvic floor.
At MS Insight, focused shockwave and EMTT are used as a non-invasive treatment option when the assessment suggests that nerve and tissue impairment can be alleviated through targeted stimulation. The treatment aims to reduce tension, improve tissue conditions and support nerve function – without medical side effects.
Treatment is always customized to the individual and based on a professional assessment of cause and mechanism, not on standard protocols.
