EPAT

EPAT is a non-invasive, FDA cleared treatment for chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain.

EPAT is effective in treating:

  • Frozen shoulder
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Neuromas
  • Tendon Pain
  • Achilles Tendinitis

This quick 10-15min procedure uses shockwave technology to stimulate blood flow to the affected area. There is no anesthesia required, and patients can return to baseline activity immediately after treatment.

Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) has virtually no risks or side effects.

Treatment sessions take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the injury. Generally, 3-5 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.

How is the treatment performed?

Coupling gel is applied to the treatment area of interest to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, EPAT pressure waves are released via the applicator moved over the injured area in a circular motion.

What are the expected results?

The beneficial effects of EPAT are often experienced after only 3 treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to four weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.

Is it safe?

Yes. This FDA cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering and optimal quality have been built into each EPAT device, and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy.
