EPAT SHOCKWAVE THERAPY FAQs
Here are some of the most common shockwave therapy questions:
What is shockwave therapy?
Shockwave therapy, utilizes targeted technologies to address both chronic and acute pain, along with aesthetic concerns.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) represents an advanced and highly efficient non-invasive treatment method approved by the FDA. Grounded in a unique set of pressure waves, this proprietary technology stimulates metabolism, enhances blood circulation, and expedites the healing process.
What disorders can be treated?
EPAT® can treat a number of chronic foot and ankle conditions causing inflammation, including plantar fasciitis, heel pain, achilles tendinitis and more.
What are the expected results?
While some patients experience immediate pain relief, others may see results within a few weeks. EPAT® aims to eliminate pain, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life. Reports indicate that over 80% of patients treated report being pain-free or experiencing significant pain reduction.
How is treatment performed?
The administration of EPAT® treatment involves a straightforward process. Initially, a coupling gel is applied to the targeted treatment area, enhancing its effectiveness. Subsequently, EPAT® pressure waves are delivered through a specialized applicator, moved in a circular motion over the designated area. These acoustic pressure waves are strategically implemented directly onto the site of injury or pain. Through this approach, EPAT® effectively breaks down lingering scar tissue and alleviates inflammation that may not have responded to other treatment options. Importantly, this therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, accelerating the overall recovery journey for the patient.
What is the duration of the treatment and how many treatments will I need?
Sessions generally last 5-10 minutes, and a recommended course typically involves several sessions spaced weekly. Depending on the disorder being treated. Generally, at least three treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.
