What is Shockwave Therapy?
What are the expected results?
The beneficial effects of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation
Technology (EPAT®) are often experienced after only 3
treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief
after the treatment, although it can take up to 4 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.
What is the duration of the treatment and how many treatments will I need?
Treatment sessions take approximately 10-20 minutes
depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 3-5
treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.
More chronic conditions may require more sessions
How is the treatment performed?
Coupling gel is applied to the specified treatment
area to enhance effectiveness. After these
preparations, EPAT® pressure waves are released via
the applicator which is moved over the area in a
circular motion.
Why consider non-invasive EPAT®?
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 our office, does not
require anesthesia, and requires a minimal amount
of time. Patients can immediately bear weight (i.e.
walk), and return to normal activity within a few days
of the procedure.
