Achilles tendonitis is a painful condition that can interfere with exercise routines and daily life. Generally caused by tendon over use, Achilles tendonitis can lead to chronic heel pain if left untreated. At East Ocean Podiatry, our skilled doctors use innovative, non-invasive techniques to help patients recover quicker.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment (EPAT) is a technically advanced shockwave therapy that uses sound waves to accelerate Achilles tendonitis recovery. When the tendon is overworked, it develops little tears and becomes inflamed. EPAT uses sound waves, also known as shockwaves, to enhance blood circulation, stimulate the metabolism, and accelerate the healing process. Our podiatrists use EPAT, in conjunction with orthotics and traditional treatments, to help patients overcome heel pain and Achilles tendonitis.
This innovative treatment is used to treat tendon pain in the locker rooms for top collegiate and professional teams. Professional athletes, like Dwyane Wade, use EPAT to recover quickly from game interfering injuries. While you may never dunk a basketball for the Miami Heat, with EPAT you can find the same pain relief as the celebrity players.
At East Ocean Podiatry, we recommend seeking treatment for Achilles tendonitis as soon as possible. If left untreated, the small tendon tears can grow and cause chronic heel pain that requires surgical intervention. Our experienced podiatrists help patients with Achilles tendonitis find noninvasive pain relief with EPAT.
