Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)

Less Pain and Faster Recovery with New EPAT Treatment in edison - (732) 812-5200

EPAT, or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology is a highly effective treatment that uses a unique set of pressure waves to stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process.

Research demonstrates that this treatment can stimulate the body to reverse the very same tissue changes associated with tendinopathy to gradually regenerate and eventually heal the damaged tissue.

Conveniently, the procedure takes 5-10 minutes and is generally performed 3-5 times at weekly intervals. EPAT can be performed in combination with traditional physical therapy or as a stand-alone treatment. When performed by your doctor of physical therapy, there are very few side effects or risks involved and over 80% of patients treated report to be pain-free and/or have significant pain reduction.

What Is Causing Your Musculoskeletal Pain?

Crucial to EPAT treatment is identifying the underlying cause of any musculoskeletal pain you’re experiencing. It’s estimated that over 100 million Americans suffer from musculoskeletal pain each year, the causes of which vary among patients.

Typical sources of musculoskeletal pain in individuals who suffer include:

• Repetitive motion, i.e. overuse
• Muscle imbalances, i.e. poor posture
• Injury, trauma, and post-operative surgery
• General wear & tear from daily living activities

EPAT can effectively treat all types of musculoskeletal discomfort, from acute pain caused by a recent injury to long-term, recurring, or chronic pain experienced over the course of months or years. Once we have accurately identified the type of pain experienced by the patient, we can begin an EPAT treatment regimen.

EPAT can be applied to:

• Foot and Ankle (plantar fasciitis)
• Neck
• Shoulder
• Back and Chest
• Upper Extremity
• Lower Extremity
• Myofascial Trigger Points

EPAT is recommended for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life.

There are several benefits to using Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology treatments to address soft tissue damage.

Why Choose EPAT for Your Treatment?

Several recent studies prove the healing benefits of EPAT treatment. Not only does EPAT help relieve pain, it also serves as an effective way to regenerate tissues and ultimately heal those who suffer.

Patients who are treated using the EPAT method have reported:

• Decrease in pain and plantar fascia thickness by up to 50% only a year after treatment
• Improved functioning in over 75% of patients suffering from Achilles tendinopathies only a year after treatment
• Improvement in skin elasticity by up to 73% after only 3 weeks of EPAT ultrasound evaluations

If your pain is currently causing you to suffer, consider EPAT. Non-invasive in nature, the EPAT treatment is a great alternative for patients who have experienced poor responses to other methods and therapies.
