Overview of EPAT Therapy at AOSMI
At the Advanced Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute (AOSMI) in Freehold, New Jersey, we provide a state-of-the-art treatment option known as EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology). This innovative, non-invasive therapy offers effective relief for patients suffering from various musculoskeletal pain and injuries by enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.
What is EPAT Therapy?
EPAT, commonly referred to as Shockwave Therapy, is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment designed to accelerate the recovery of injured soft tissue, bone, heel, and joint pain. Through the application of acoustic pressure waves, EPAT therapy stimulates the metabolism, enhances blood circulation, and accelerates the healing process.
The Science Behind EPAT
EPAT therapy works by targeting specific areas with acoustic pressure waves, significantly increasing blood flow and cellular metabolism in the affected area, which promotes tissue healing and pain relief. The treatment is particularly beneficial for conditions with poor blood supply and chronic inflammation.
Conditions Treated by EPAT Therapy
EPAT therapy is versatile and effective in treating a wide array of acute and chronic conditions:
- Lower Leg Pain: Including shin splints and Achilles tendinitis.
- Foot, Ankle, and Heel Pain: Such as plantar fasciitis and heel spurs.
- Shoulder Pain: Covering ailments like rotator cuff injuries and biceps tendinitis.
- Elbow and Wrist Pain: Effective for tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
