EPAT/ Shockwave for Advanced Pain Relief

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.

Why EPAT/Shockwave works so well

1. Non-invasive: EPAT is a non-invasive treatment option, which means it does not require surgery or incisions. This makes it a safe and effective option for patients who want to avoid more invasive treatments.
   2. Safe: EPAT is a safe treatment option with few side effects. The most common side effect is mild pain or discomfort in the treated area, which typically goes away within a few hours.
   3. Effective: EPAT has been shown to be an effective treatment option for many conditions that cause chronic pain. Studies have shown that EPAT can improve pain, function, and quality of life in patients with tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and other conditions
   4. Short treatment time: EPAT is a quick treatment option that typically takes less than 30 minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
   5.No downtime: Unlike other treatments, EPAT does not require any downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure

How EPAT/Shockwave works for pain relief

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.
