EPAT Shockwave

What is EPAT Shockwave Technology?

EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. It helps promote circulation, tissue regeneration, and cell repair by delivering targeted pulses to the affected area. This technology is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, especially in the foot and ankle, without the need for surgery or medication.

FAQ

A typical EPAT treatment session lasts around 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, with the sensation often described as pressure or a light tapping.

The number of sessions varies depending on the severity of the condition, but most patients require 3 to 5 treatments spaced about a week apart.

EPAT is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as mild bruising, swelling, or redness in the treated area, which typically resolves quickly.

You should see a podiatrist if you have been experiencing persistent foot or ankle pain that hasn’t responded to other conservative treatments, such as rest, physical therapy, or orthotics. EPAT can be especially beneficial for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis.
