East Ocean Podiatry is now offering Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT) for relief from the pain of musculoskeletal injuries. This advanced technology from CuraMedix represents a breakthrough in non-invasive treatment techniques for acute and chronic muscle pain.
It works by taking acoustic pressure waves and passing them through the body, concentrated on an injured area. These waves stimulate the muscle’s metabolism and enhance blood circulation, which accelerates the healing process and allows muscles to heal faster than traditional treatment methods.
EPAT can successfully treat a number of disorders and injuries including:
- Neck
- Shoulder
- Back and chest
- Upper extremity
- Lower extremity
- Foot and ankle
- Myofascial trigger points
Injuries like those involving the Achilles tendon, heel pain, ankle pain, and general sports injuries respond very well to EPAT therapy. EPAT requires no anesthesia, allows for immediate weight bearing, has no side effects, and is a non-invasive procedure that allows patients to return to their normal activities within 24 – 48 hours.
For more information on this advanced and innovative technology, take a look at the CuraMedix Patient Educational Video on EPAT in our Video Library.
