EPAT & ESWT Therapy Treatment for Patients
EPAT therapy, also known as Shockwave Therapy, is a highly effective treatment method that can be used to address a variety of sports injuries and other conditions. The high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body, helping to improve the regenerative potential and enhance blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue.
EPAT therapy is cleared by the FDA as a non-invasive treatment method. Patients can experience beneficial effects after only one or two treatments. There is no downtime associated with this treatment, making it a popular choice among patients who want to quickly improve their quality of life.
With no associated risks, recovery time, surgical procedures, scarring or anesthesia required, this treatment method has garnered a high level of satisfaction among patients, with more than 80% reporting positive results!
Positive results can typically be noticed after just 1 or 2 sessions, with no required downtime. This non-surgical pain therapy not only alleviates discomfort but also enhances mobility, rapidly enhancing patients’ overall quality of life.

EPAT THERAPY TREATABLE CONDITIONS
Heel pain commonly arises from excessive strain but can also be triggered by a significant injury. It typically manifests at the rear or beneath your heel. Ankle discomfort or a sprain usually stems from a forceful twisting motion, resulting in ligament tears, with no bone fractures involved.
Heel discomfort is typically felt along the lower, anterior edge of the heel and is accompanied by tenderness on the underside of the foot. Pain while walking, ranging in intensity, tends to be most pronounced in the morning and gradually subsides as the day progresses. Ankle pain may coincide with swelling, a bluish hue, discomfort during walking, and a mild increase in warmth in the affected region.
Consider discussing Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) with your healthcare provider. EPAT offers an innovative, non-invasive approach to pain management. It relies on a distinct series of pressure waves that stimulate metabolic activity, improve blood circulation, and expedite the natural healing process. This treatment aids in the gradual regeneration and eventual restoration of damaged tissues. As a surgical alternative, the procedure involves 3-5 in-office sessions, each lasting approximately 5-10 minutes, spaced at weekly intervals.
Calf pain in the lower leg is often a result of inflammation of the tendon that extends from the lower calf to the heel. Pain is typically located at the back of the ankle and worsens with walking. Shin pain can result from overuse of the leg. The pain can arise from inflammation of the bone, the muscle or connective tissue. The most common causes are ill-fitting shoes, over training, and/or running on hard surfaces.
Calf pain or swelling in the back of the ankle, decreased ankle movement. Pain in the front and back of the shin that is often worse in the beginning of the exercise session, mild swelling of the front of the lower leg, pain with bending toes or foot downward.
Ask your doctor about Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®). EPAT® is an innovative, non-invasive way to treat pain. It is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals. As an alternative to surgery, the procedure includes 3-5 in-office sessions approximately 5-10 minutes each at weekly intervals.
Painful inflammation of a tendon or joint which can be the result of overuse or overstretching of the tendon, trauma, infection or inflammatory diseases.

FAQ's
Below are some of the frequently asked questions regarding shockwave therapy:
Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) or EPAT Therapy (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology), is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in various conditions.
During a shockwave therapy session, a healthcare provider applies a specialized device that delivers high-energy sound waves to the affected area of the body. The sound waves create a mechanical force that stimulates the body’s natural healing process and can promote the formation of new blood vessels, enhance blood flow, and stimulate the growth of new tissue.
After the treatment, certain patients have reported experiencing immediate pain relief, while for others, it may take up to four weeks for the pain relief to commence.According to reports, more than 80% of treated patients have reported either being completely pain-free or experiencing substantial relief from pain.
Shockwave therapy is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. It is FDA cleared and is being used by thousands of clinicians around the globe. However, as with any medical treatment, there are some potential risks and side effects associated with shockwave therapy. These can include temporary pain or discomfort during the treatment, redness or bruising in the treated area, swelling, and numbness or tingling.
Your healthcare provider can provide more information on the benefits and risks of this treatment, and help you determine if it is the right option for you.
In general, the conditions that can be addressed with this treatment include acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain, as well as pain that substantially limits mobility or reduces quality of life. Some of the more common areas of treatment are as followed:
- Achilles pain
- Tendon insertion pain
- Trigger points
- Foot and heel pain
- Shoulder Pain
- Knee pain
The cost of shockwave therapy can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the geographic location, the severity of the condition being treated, and the number of treatments needed.
We ask you to please discuss this with your healthcare professional to get a better understanding of cost for your situation.
