How EPAT Shockwave Therapy Works for Pain Relief
Shockwave therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that uses acoustic pressure waves, or shockwaves, to promote blood flow and speed up the body’s natural healing process. The in-office treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes and about 4 to 5 treatments spaced 3 to 10 days apart for optimal results. First, a gel is applied to the treatment area, and then a handheld device is used to emit gradually increased pulses to the affected area until a therapeutic level is reached. Treatment typically is not uncomfortable, but some patients may have mild discomfort where pain already exists. Our providers can adjust the shockwave levels to optimize the process for you to make it as comfortable as possible.
Benefits of Choosing EPAT for Chronic Pain Management
EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) shockwave therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing and relieve chronic pain. Here are some of the benefits associated with using EPAT shockwave therapy:
- Non-invasive and safe: EPAT shockwave therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment option. It does not require incisions, anesthesia, or medications, which reduces the risk of complications and side effects commonly associated with invasive procedures. It is considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment for chronic pain.
- Pain relief: EPAT shockwave therapy has been found to effectively alleviate chronic pain. The acoustic waves delivered during the treatment help to increase blood circulation, stimulate the body's natural healing processes, and promote tissue regeneration. This can lead to reduced pain levels and improved overall function.
