EPAT or shock wave therapy uses varying frequencies to produce sound waves that are applied to affected body parts. Typically muscles and ligaments, not bones. When a muscle is overworked the covering of the muscle called fascia becomes irritated. The fascia is a nerve-dense area and will start to shrink and shrivel up when more and more physical stress is placed on it. This produces what we call adhesions. Adhesions restrict motion which in and of itself causes pain.
EPAT works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The pressure waves created by the EPAT device create microtrauma in the tissue, which stimulates the body to produce new blood vessels and promote tissue regeneration. This process helps to reduce pain and inflammation in the affected area and promotes healing.
Core Health Darien offers EPAT/Shockwave to get people out of pain faster. By addressing the adhesions that form in the deep and superficial fascia the patient’s muscles can move more freely with less restriction. Treatment time is reduced and there are almost no side effects. Call 203-656-3636 if you would like to learn more about how Core Health Darien can ease your pain.
