What is EPAT?
Extracorporeal Pulse Activated Treatment (EPAT) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that uses acoustic waves to treat a wide range of foot and ankle injuries. EPAT is particularly effective for musculoskeletal problems, offering a safe and efficient alternative to surgery. It stimulates healing and reduces pain by sending high-energy sound waves to the affected areas.
Conditions Treated with EPAT
EPAT can effectively treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Achilles tendonitis
- Other tendonitis in the foot and ankle
- Plantar fasciitis
- Turf toe
- Chronic muscle pain
- Acute foot and ankle sprains
- Shin splints
- Stress fractures
EPAT targets the root cause of pain and inflammation in these conditions, helping patients heal faster with minimal downtime.
Benefits of EPAT
