For those suffering from chronic pain caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and lateral or medial epicondylitis, finding a non-invasive and effective form of treatment can be challenging. That's where Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) therapy comes in.

EPAT is a unique form of shock wave therapy proven to stimulate metabolism, increase blood circulation, and speed up the body's natural healing processes. In this blog post, we'll discuss how EPAT therapy works, its effectiveness, and how to determine whether it is right for you.

How Does It Work?

EPAT therapy uses a unique set of acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. During treatment, high-pressure sound waves are directed at the affected areas, which penetrate deep into the tissue, promoting cellular metabolism and increasing blood circulation. This stimulation helps to improve tissue regeneration and accelerate the body's natural healing processes.

Is It Effective?

Studies have shown that EPAT therapy is a highly effective treatment option for various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and lateral or medial epicondylitis. According to a study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 72 percent of patients suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis experienced a significant reduction in pain after undergoing EPAT treatment. Additionally, a study published in the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery found that EPAT therapy was a safe and effective treatment for Achilles tendonitis.

Am I a Candidate?

EPAT therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated by patients, but as with any medical procedure, some risks are involved. Before undergoing EPAT treatment, it is essential to consult with a medical professional to determine whether or not you are a candidate.

In general, EPAT therapy is recommended for patients who have tried other forms of treatment without success and those experiencing chronic pain caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and lateral or medial epicondylitis.
