Our offices offer this groundbreaking treatment approach in our locations throughout Long Island, NY. Keep reading to learn all about the good kind of shock: EPAT.
Understanding Shockwave Therapy
EPAT is an advanced method that uses gentle radial pressure waves to target pain and promote healing.
This therapy helps stimulate blood flow, enhance cellular activity, and encourage tissue regeneration. EPAT can:
- Increase blood circulation to the injury site
- Stimulate cell metabolism for faster healing
- Break down scar tissue for improved mobility
- Accelerate the body’s natural healing response
This non-invasive option can be highly effective for people suffering from musculoskeletal pain, including acute and chronic injuries.
Applications of Shockwave Therapy
Clinical evidence shows that EPAT can successfully treat tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries, such as tears and strains. In addition, doctors have used it to treat stress fractures in the lower legs. In our practice, it’s a popular option for sports injuries and chronic pain alike.
Benefits of Shockwave Therapy
EPAT offers many benefits, making it an appealing alternative to surgery. Here’s why patients are choosing EPAT:
- Non-Invasive Treatment: EPAT is performed in our office, eliminating the need for anesthesia or hospital stays.
- Quick Treatments: Treatments take just 5-10 minutes in the office.
- Minimal Recovery Time: Most patients can walk and return to normal activities immediately.
- Safe and Effective: EPAT is FDA-cleared and is supported by extensive clinical research demonstrating its safety.
- High Success Rate: Over 80% of patients report significant pain relief or improved mobility after treatment.
The benefits don’t end there: EPAT may help you avoid surgery if you have chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
