Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), sometimes referred to as ESWT or Shockwave Therapy, is clinically proven and today’s most advanced, non-invasive technology for treating pain.

It is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
As an alternative to surgery, the procedure includes 3-5 in-office sessions approximately 5-10 minutes each at weekly intervals.

In the foot and ankle, Shock Wave Therapy is used to treat numerous conditions.

  • Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Achilles tendonitis/tendonosis
  • Stiffness after Ankle Sprains
  • Shin Splints (pain in the front of the lower leg)

 

If you are experiencing pain and would like to avoid surgery by attempting a conservative treatment, visit one of our offices to be evaluated for EPAT shock way therapy treatment.
