Regenerative Therapy
Are you Ready for A Revolutionary Approach to Recovery?
Introducing EPAT
Did you know that EPAT Shockwave Therapy, originally developed for the disintegration of kidney stones, has evolved into a cutting-edge treatment for musculoskeletal issues and chronic pain? The technology, initially employed in urology, has found new frontiers in healing by utilizing focused sound waves.
What is EPat?
EPAT, more commonly recognized as Shockwave Therapy, represents a transformative treatment method leveraging the therapeutic potential of sound waves to usher in healing for injuries and chronic pain within the body. In contrast to invasive medical procedures, Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive modality, ensuring that the healing process unfolds without the need for injections or incisions.
EPat Works
The mechanics of EPAT involve the strategic use of a handheld device designed to deliver controlled and gentle sound waves to the targeted area of injury. This deliberate application of sound waves serves a multifaceted purpose in promoting the healing journey:
How can it help you?
With an approximate 90% success rate, EPAT has proven effective in addressing various musculoskeletal problems, including strains, sprains, aches, pains, and dysfunctions. This encompasses the treatment of non-union fractures and Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs)/Bone Edema.
What are the benefits of EPat Shockwave?
Incorporating EPAT can lead to an expedited reduction in pain and dysfunction. In certain instances, it has shown a remarkable 40-50% acceleration in the healing process, translating to reduced downtime and a quicker recovery. This means a faster return to your cherished activities. The therapy has demonstrated significant potential in hastening recovery times for athletic injuries, enabling athletes to spend less time on the sidelines and return to the field or court sooner than previously anticipated.
What Conditions Can Be Treated With EPat Shockwave Therapy?
EPAT Shockwave Therapy has emerged as a versatile and potent solution, showcasing its efficacy across a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. This innovative therapy, utilizing focused sound waves, has demonstrated success in addressing a myriad of discomforts and dysfunctions in various parts of the body.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AN EPat TREATMENT SESSION
An EPAT session is a brief yet impactful procedure, typically spanning up to 30 minutes, though the duration may fluctuate based on the specific musculoskeletal injury or condition being addressed. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the treatment process:
1. Preparation: Our experienced clinicians initiate the session by applying a gel to the skin in the targeted treatment area.
2. Application of Pressure Waves: Following the gel application, a handheld applicator is employed to release RSW/EPAT pressure waves over the area of pain and the surrounding tissues. If available, FSW (Focused Shock Waves) may be directed to the specific pain point to deliver heightened energy, effectively stimulating the regenerative capabilities of your tissues.
3. Pulse Intensity Adjustment: The pulses gradually intensify until reaching the desired tolerated energy level.
4. Post-Session: After the treatment, patients experience immediate weight-bearing capabilities and can seamlessly resume their normal activities with minimal to no downtime.
5. Treatment Frequency: Typically, patients undergo 3 to 6 sessions once a week, with the frequency tailored to their specific injury or condition. The long-term beneficial effects are often realized after three treatments, although individual experiences may vary. Immediate pain relief may be observed in some patients, while others might take up to four weeks to begin feeling the therapeutic effects.
