What is EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology)?
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is a safe, FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and non-surgical treatment that uses unique sets of acoustic pressure waves to alleviate chronic pain and promote healing in affected areas. Ideal for conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis, EPAT accelerates natural healing, reduces recovery time, and improves mobility. Offering a promising alternative to invasive procedures, it has shown to significantly improve quality of life for many, with patients often experiencing symptom relief after just a few sessions.
What Can EPAT Treat?
EPAT effectively treats a variety of acute and chronic pain conditions in bones and soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This versatile, non-invasive therapy is particularly beneficial for:
- Foot and heel pain
- Achilles pain
- Tendon and/or tendon insertion pain
- Neuromas
- Trigger points
EPAT is FDA-approved and supported by numerous studies for its efficacy in alleviating chronic pain. Insurance coverage for EPAT varies; our team can assist you in navigating your benefits to ensure optimal treatment.
What To Expect During Treatment?
During your journey with EPAT, you’re likely to undergo a series of weekly sessions, typically three to five, each lasting around 10 minutes, tailored to your specific condition. It’s crucial to understand that individual experiences and outcomes may vary; some may find relief after just one session, while others might need more time to experience significant symptom reduction. Our experienced clinicians are dedicated to closely monitoring your progress and adjusting your treatment plan as necessary to achieve the best possible results.
