Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), sometimes referred to as ESWT or shock wave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing process.

Generally, acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life including:

• Foot and ankle

• Lower extremity

• Upper extremity

• Back and chest

• Shoulder

• Neck

• Myofascial trigger points

• Scar tissue

Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to four weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.

Yes. This FDA cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering and optimal quality have been built into each EPAT device, and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy.

Treatment sessions take approximately 10-20 minutes depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, at least 3 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.

The non-invasive EPAT treatment has virtually no risks or side effects. In some cases, patients may experience some minor discomfort which may continue for a few days. It is normal to have some residual pain after intense exercise or a full day of work.

The safety and effectiveness of the EPAT procedure has not been determined on people with the following health conditions. Your doctor will provide you with information about how these and other conditions might affect the determination to perform the EPAT procedures.

• Malignancies

• DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)

Coupling gel is applied to the treatment area of interest to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, EPAT pressure waves are released via the applicator moved over the area of interest in a circular motion.

EPAT has a proven success rate that is equal to or greater than that of traditional treatment methods (including surgery) and without the risks, complications and lengthy recovery time.

EPAT is:

• Performed in your physician’s office/ clinic

• Does not require anesthesia

• Requires a minimal amount of time

Your Personal Journey to a Pain-Free Life – As few as three weekly sessions, each lasting 10-20 minutes, can fast-track your return to your favorite activities, all with no downtime.
