What is EPAT Therapy?
EPAT therapy is a highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. It is one of the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment methods cleared by the FDA. The treatment works by helping to improve the regenerative potential, enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue.
EPAT also is known as Shockwave and Pressure Wave Therapy can successfully address acute and chronic pain such as Knee Pain, Heel Pain, Foot Pain, Ankle Pain, Hamstring Pain, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Elbow Pain, Wrist Pain, and Hand Pain. It is also used to address sports injuries and many painful conditions.
Beneficial effects are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments and there is no downtime. Non-surgical therapy for pain eliminates pain and restores mobility, thus quickly improving patients’ quality of life.

FAQ
What is EPAT Technology?
EPAT is a non-invasive modern and highly effective treatment method: high-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body. Pressure wave technology accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Strong energy pulses are applied to the affected area. These pulses occur for short periods of time, creating micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and burst. The force created by these bubbles penetrates tissue and stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and connective tissue healing.
What type of conditions can be treated with EPAT Technology?
EPAT treatment can successfully address acute and chronic pain such as Knee Pain, Heel Pain, Foot Pain, Ankle Pain, Hamstring Pain, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Elbow Pain, Wrist Pain, and Hand Pain, and much more.
How is the treatment performed?
EPAT treatment is noninvasive. The gel is applied to the treatment area; pressure waves are then released through the applicator as it is moved over the treatment area.
How many treatments are generally needed?
The number of sessions needed depends on the condition that is being treated. Each treatment session takes between 10-15 minutes and can vary depending on the condition that is being treated.
What type of results are expected?
Beneficial effects are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments and there is no downtime. Many patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment. The technology has a 91% success rate as per clinical studies, patients treated report being pain-free and /or have a significant reduction in pain. The non-surgical therapy for pain eliminates pain and restores mobility, thus improving the patient’s quality of life.
What are the possible side effects?
Treatment with EPAT technology has virtually no side effects. In some cases, patients may experience minor discomfort for a few days. Patients can return to work after treatments and in most all cases there is no down time.
Who is a candidate for EPAT?
Most people are good candidates for EPAT treatment however patients who are pregnant, have a pacemaker or current cancer are not suitable for treatment with EPAT Technology. Your doctor will provide you with information about conditions you may have that would affect your ability to undergo treatment.
