  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Prostatitis
  • Peripheral Neuropathy

The effects and advantages of using Gainswave often include: Treatment for ED and Peyronie's Disease

  • Improved Length and Girth
  • Enhanced Sexual Pleasure
  • Improved Length and Girth
  • Better Penis Circulation
  • Increased Blood Flow
  • Less Downtime Between Orgasms

What to Expect from P-Shot Therapy

Calla Genics' P-Shot procedure starts by extracting the patient's blood and concentrating the blood's healing factors (like stem cells and other growth factors). From there, the patient's white and red blood cells are separated in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds until it separates. From there, the patient's concentrated healing factors are injected into their penile region.

Calla Genics' P-Shot treatment is hassle-free and pain-free and can usually be completed in less than an hour right here at our P-shot clinic in Port St. Lucie.

P-Shot Therapy and Botox for Erectile Dysfunction

For men with serious cases of erectile dysfunction, Calla Genics offers our P-Shot with the added bonus of Botox for increased effectiveness. We know what you're thinking: "Isn't Botox meant for women? I don't care about the wrinkles on my face; I just want help with my ED."

While it's true that Botox is most commonly associated with female anti-wrinkle treatment, researchers believe it can help with male ED as well. Botox—which is technically a bacterial toxin with the name botulinum—smooths out wrinkles by blocking nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions.

That same mechanism may help men achieve erections. Botox can interrupt the release of norepinephrine, which restricts blood flow. But it doesn't affect the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a crucial element in achieving an erection since it relaxes smooth muscle and causes blood to engorge the penis.

Because of the nature of Botox, research shows that it may give men enhanced erections for months. Older men with particularly severe ED may see the most significant improvements. As an added bonus, Botox may work for males who have physiological erectile dysfunction (caused by blood flow issues) and psychogenic ED (triggered by physiological factors).

P-Shot Treatment for Peyronie's Disease

While the P-Shot can work wonders for men experiencing performance and erectile issues, the P-Shot has other uses. One of the most important and revolutionary issues the P-Shot treats is called Peyronie's disease.

Found in nearly 10% of all men in the U.S., Peyronie's disease is a common problem that can affect a man's sexual activity and sex life. Essentially, Peyronie's disease is the medical label used to describe an abnormal curve or bend in a patient's penis. Though it's very common for a man to have a slight bend in their penis, men suffering from Peyronie's disease experience significant pain, especially when trying to achieve an erection. Because of the nature of the disease, Peyronie's is linked to male erectile dysfunction.

Peyronie's disease is often caused by a previous injury or damage to a man's penis via sexual intercourse or physical activity. Some of the most common symptoms of Peyronie's disease include:

  • Painful Erections
  • Unusually Soft Erections
  • Extreme Penis Curvature
  • Significant Difficulty Having Sexual Intercourse
  • Lumps Found in the Penis

Living with Peyronie's disease makes life quite difficult. Unfortunately, we're discovering that this malady is more prevalent than we once thought. That's probably because more and more men are coming forward to talk about their ED. We understand if you're suffering from Peyronie's disease but are reluctant to speak to a professional due to embarrassment. However, if you're sick and tired of living with Peyronie's and want to reclaim your sex life, Calla Genics' P-Shot may be the long-term solution you need.

The alternative to the P-Shot involves "traditional" treatments like penile stretching devices and penile implants, which sometimes involve vacuum technology and invasive procedures. If you're cringing a little just reading those words, Calla Genics' P-Shot is the way to go for Peyronie's disease treatment.

How Fast Does the P-Shot Work?

Results vary for every patient, but in general, many men discover relief soon after their first P-Shot treatment. If you're a man struggling to achieve and keep an erection, Calla Genics' P-Shot should help you almost immediately. Other enhancements, like more penis girth and size, can take longer.

What Side Effects Should I Know About?

Because our P-Shot treatment in Port St. Lucie uses a patient's own blood, there is no risk for harmful side effects or allergic reactions. It's a pain-free treatment that we perform right here at our male sexual health center, and is usually over in 30 minutes or less.

How Much Does Calla Genics' P-Shot Cost?

Pricing varies depending on our patient's needs. Compared to other erectile dysfunction treatments, P-Shot therapy is relatively inexpensive. Since there are no oral medications or pills to take, patients don't have to worry about refilling prescriptions. The P-Shot is also much less expensive than surgical options, which require multiple doctor's appointments, follow-ups, and more.

The Benefits of Combining Gainswave and P-Shot Therapy in Port St. Lucie, FL

Studies published via the International Society for Sexual Medicine found that Gainswave treatments display significant, positive results that can last as long as 12 months. And while low-intensity shockwave therapy is proven to provide significant improvement in erectile function, Gainswave doesn't have to be used all on its own.

For the most effective male enhancement treatment, many men are combining Calla Genics' Gainswave therapy with our P-Shot treatments. These two revolutionary ED treatments feed off one another to provide a doubly-beneficial effect. In medicine, we call it a synergistic effect.

The platelet-rich plasma from the P-Shot can help open up a patient's blood vessels in their penis. This can actually enhance the effectiveness of Gainswave therapy. Conversely, Gainswave treatments can help stimulate healing factors used in the P-Shot, essentially sending PRP deeper into a patient's damaged penis tissue.

Our Bocox™ Treatment

It is recommended to receive this treatment by a specially trained physician much like Calla Genics' very own Dr. Tiffany. A single Bocox™ treatment can combat erectile dysfunction, ridding your need of having to take Viagra or any surgical procedures.

How Bocox™ Can Help You!

Here at Calla Genics, we have now been doing the P-Shot® procedure for years with much success and with a significant body of medical research that supports the procedure. In the studies below, you will notice that we have added units of BOTOX, which the recommended dose showed effectiveness up to 6 months with maximal effect at 6 weeks.

The mechanism of action of BOTOX in the penis seems to be partly due to the relaxation of the smooth muscle of the arterioles, resulting in increased blood flow (and even in a small increase in length in one study). This increase in erection firmness by increasing arterial flow is exactly how Viagra and Tri-mix injections work. In two separate studies, the injection of BOTOX was helpful to some men (not all) for whom Viagra and Cialis had quit working.

BOTOX, at much higher doses, has been used for 2 decades for various problems with an extremely safe history. The P-Shot 100™ procedure is a specific method of injecting blood-derived growth factors, including platelet-rich plasma (or platelet-rich fibrin matrix) and botulinum neurotoxin, to improve the health of the penis and enhance the size or function of the penis. The procedure includes patient selection, method of preparation of materials, method of injection, aftercare, and more.

Suppose someone wants Botox alone injected into the penis. In that case, we have the Bocox™ (BoPriapus) procedure: a specific method of injecting the corpus cavernosi of the penis with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT)–BOTOX– to improve penile tissue health and to enhance erectile function or penis size.

Our Guarantee: You will see results. If you are not pleased with the results of your procedure for any reason, you can get a full refund for the procedure for up to 3 months.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla—Juan Martinez and Ben Brutti both turned in their longest outings of the season, but a second-inning throwing error brought home the only runs of the game as the St. Lucie Mets spoiled the Rumberos de Daytona’s party in a 2-0 loss on Friday night at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

St. Lucie (9-10) evened up the series by holding Daytona (10-9) to just three hits as the Tortugas’ alter-ego, the Rumberos, were blanked for the fourth time this season.

After a scoreless first, St. Lucie took advantage of a defensive miscue from Daytona. Daytona starter Martinez erased a leadoff single with a double play, but immediately found himself back in trouble by allowing a double and a walk. After a balk moved both runners into scoring position, he induced a ground ball to short. However, the throw to first was errant, scoring both runners to stake St. Lucie to a 2-0 lead.

St. Lucie starter Zach Thornton faced the minimum over the first two innings, but his command wavered in the third as he issued two walks to put a pair of runners aboard with one out. The Rumberos, though, bounced into consecutive fielder’s choices to end the inning.

After that, both starters locked in. Martinez followed the error by retiring the final ten batters he faced as he worked a season-high 5.0 innings, allowing the two unearned tallies on three hits and one walk with one strikeout.

Thornton (1-1), meanwhile, dominated Daytona after the third-inning hiccups, as he struck out three in the fourth, with one of them reaching, before throwing a 1-2-3 fifth to cap off his 5.0 scoreless innings to earn the win.

Brutti entered in the sixth and immediately ran into trouble. Marco Vargas led off with an infield single, then promptly stole second and third. After a strikeout, a bouncing ball to second with the infield in saw Vargas break for the plate, but he was thrown out by Johnny Ascanio. A twisting fly to right followed that Ariel Almonte couldn’t catch off his shoetops, but he recovered to throw a strike to the plate to throw out Jesus Baez to end the inning.

Jawilme Ramirez entered for the Mets in the sixth and set down the first six batters he faced over two perfect innings to open his outing. On the other side, Brutti settled down, working around a two-out double in the seventh before throwing a 1-2-3 eighth.

In the bottom of the eighth, Daytona threatened against Ramirez. Yerlin Confidan drew a leadoff walk and went to third on a one-out single by Ascanio. However, Ramirez induced a foulout and Ricardo Cabrera couldn’t extend his hitting streak, grounding out to third to end the inning, and with it, his ten-game streak.

Brutti followed with a scoreless ninth to finish off 4.0 shutout innings with three strikeouts, then Alan Perdomo entered in the bottom half for St. Lucie. Alfredo Duno led off with a double, before Daytona was on the wrong end of two bang-bang plays at first for the first two outs. Perdomo then ended the game with a strikeout to secure a 2-0 win for St. Lucie.

The Tortugas will play game five against the St. Lucie Mets on Saturday evening. Daytona will start RHP Jose Franco (0-0, 2.79) against St. Lucie RHP Kade Morris (0-0, 1.42). Tomorrow night, the first 1,000 fans through the gates will leave with a replica of Jackie Robinson Ballpark presented by Brown & Brown. Plus, it will be Bark at the Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. with gates opening at 5:30. Pregame coverage on the Tortugas Radio network with Brennan Mense begins at 6:20 p.m.

PORT ST. LUCIE — If you plan to be at Dave & Buster's for its grand opening here, mark your calendars for June 3.

Arcade enthusiasts and restaurantgoers can expect more than 100 of the latest arcade games, a chef-crafted menu, innovative drinks and a state-of-the-art sports bar with a 40-foot wall high-definition TV screen, according to a news release.

Construction in Gatlin Plaza has been going on for the last several months and the entertainment hub has been working on getting to Port St. Lucie since 2021, according to General Manager Leslie Suarez.

"Port St. Lucie is such a vibrant and fast-growing community, and we saw the need for a new entertainment attraction where people can eat, drink, play and watch sports in a fun environment," Suarez said in an email.

Dave & Buster's features arcade game classics like Skee-ball and basketball shooting machines and unique games like Wicked Tuna and virtual reality games.

The nearly-25,000-square-foot arcade and restaurant will be the company's 10th location in Florida, joining others in Miami, Orlando and Daytona Beach.

The closest Dave & Buster's to the Port St. Lucie location is in Hollywood.

This location will also create 180 jobs, offering front- and back-of-house positions ranging from management to servers to game technicians, according to the news release.

Boost to the local economy

"Dave & Busters’s choosing Port St. Lucie is one more boost to the overall quality of life for our residents. It presents more options for employment and entertainment," Terissa C. Aronson, president/CEO of St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce, said in an email.

Port St. Lucie is Florida's sixth-largest city, with an estimated 2022 population of 231,790, according to the Census Bureau.

The project will also bring in out-of-county customers and shows "great confidence in the stability and growth of our community leading the way for more projects like this one," Aronson continued.

Dave & Buster's is at 2270 SW Gatlin Blvd., next to The Home Depot in Gatlin Plaza.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Port St. Lucie's metro area had the fourth-largest growth in one year in the nation, and among four Florida metropolitan regions in the top five, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The metro area, which includes St. Lucie and Martin Counties, grew 3% or 16,028, to 536,091 from July 1 to July 1, 2023. The previous year Port St. Lucie metro was eighth, growing 3.3%, according to data released Thursday.

Located a little more than halfway from Daytona Beach to Miami, Port St. Lucie offers a more relaxed feel than its much larger coastal counterparts, but it does so without asking residents to concede many of the same amenities!

Getting There

Port St. Lucie is located on Florida's east coast, right off I-95 and Florida's Turnpike, so getting there by car is a breeze.

If you are flying down, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is about 40 miles away and probably the best bet for most people. Depending on what airlines service your area, you might also want to check out Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB) which is about 60 miles away.

Cost of Living in Port St. Lucie

The cost of living in Port St. Lucie is right in line with the national average, and it is actually about 2.8 percent lower than the average cost of living in Florida.

One major factor in an area's overall cost of living is home prices and, at least for now, Port St. Lucie has some of the most attractive home pricing in the state, at least when it comes to places you'd actually want to retire.

I'm not sure how long that will last though, because lots of residents are moving up to Port St. Lucie from parts further south (and more expensive) in Florida, so don't wait forever if you're hoping to nab a good deal.

Port St. Lucie Healthcare

The largest hospital here is HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital, a 207-bed hospital that has been serving Florida's Treasure Coast community for more than 30 years. This facility offers a full range of services, including 24/7 emergency care in their “senior-friendly” emergency room. Another great option is the just slightly smaller 177- bed Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital on the west side of town which is actually where more of the 55+ communities are in Port St. Lucie.

Golf in Port St. Lucie

Port St. Lucie might just be the ideal location for people who love the game of golf! Here you will find 54 holes of golf at the PGA Golf Club, and more than a dozen other courses in the area.

Mets Spring Training Baseball

Another reason that Port St. Lucie is such a popular location is that the New York Mets call it home from February to March every year for their spring training. Coming out to see the big league squad during spring training can be an awesome experience, but residents also have the option to watch the Mets’ high class-A minor league affiliate play here in Port St. Lucie throughout the summer!

Port St. Lucie Area Beaches

As far as beach access is concerned, Port St. Lucie residents can either go north to Fort Pierce, or south to Jensen Beach. Hutchinson Island sits in between them. All in all, St. Lucie County has 21 miles of beaches. The county claims to have more public beach access points per square mile than any other coastal community in Florida.

With the exception of the Florida State Park beaches, all beaches in St. Lucie are free admission and free parking and many of them have amenities like bathrooms, pavilions, dune walkovers, and more.

History & Culture

While golf and baseball tend to take precedence in the Port St. Lucie area, there is no shortage of culture and history here either! The area contains attractions like the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens, a museum dedicated to the history of the US Navy SEALs, the Hallstrom Planetarium, and the A.E. Backus Gallery and Museum. There are also a plethora of cultural events hosted as the Port St. Lucie Civic Center every year!

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBS12) — Two facilities totaling roughly 1.87 million square feet, employing more than 500 people and requiring hundreds more just to build the depots, were approved by the Port St. Lucie City Council in early December. Sansone Group's Legacy Park at Tradition will be its home.

Phase One of the massive project is estimated to cost over $70 million.

The first phase in the multi-step plan includes construction of a 595,000-square-foot cold and dry storage facility. This building will require around 265 employees with an average income of $55,350, a news release said. Labor income from Phase One's construction is expected to exceed $25 million with indirect, direct and induced labor income surpassing $35 million.

"The reality is that the jobs this Costco depot will bring us, at well above our county’s average wage, will make a huge, positive difference in the lives of 265 local families and the lives of the many others these families touch – and that’s for the first phase alone," Port St. Lucie Mayor Shannon Martin said.

The cold and dry storage facility will cost around $55 million with equipment costing $16 million, according to the Economic Development Council (EDC) of St. Lucie County news release.

Phase Two is another colossal undertaking: development of a 1.06-million-square-foot dry goods distribution center. Additionally, two future expansion areas for cold storage and dry storage buildings are part of the plan, sized to be 60,000 and 147,500 square feet, respectively.

President of the EDC of St. Lucie County Pete Tesch praised developments from the past five years in Southern Grove, a large 200-acre piece of land housing other manufacturing giants in Port St. Lucie.

What was once a "financial liability" is now a "vibrant jobs engine," benefitting the municipalities' residents for future generations, Tesch said about the Southern Grove area.

The mayor expressed her excitement about the addition of another globally recognized company coming to the area, which holds facilities for FedEx and Amazon. Local and regional employers are also in the same "Jobs Corridor," like OCULUS Surgical, TAMCO and Cheney Brothers, the news release said.

The Port St. Lucie City Council approved an incentive package Monday for Costco.

This includes tax exemptions for real and tangible personal property for five years at 100 percent. Once that time is up, it will decrease to 90, 80, 60, 40 then 20 percent for the next five years, according to the news release. Projects with incentives are still required to fully pay school, fire, voter-approved debt and other taxes.
