You don’t have to live with pain! With conventional treatments
like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevate), cortisone, physical
therapy, and surgery, it often feels like you’re on a never-ending
hamster wheel of pain, temporary relief, pain. All the while, your
out-of-pocket costs add up and you’re refraining from doing what
you love. There’s a better way.
EPAT treats the root of your pain non-invasively
There’s a better way. EPAT, sometimes referred to as ESWT or
shock wave, is an evidence-based treatment that gets to the root of
your pain, facilitating healing and accelerating your recovery.
EPAT improves your body’s regenerative potential, rather than
further damaging an area that has degenerated because of poor blood
flow, tissue injury, overuse or weakness.
In as few as 3 to 5 weekly 7 to 10-minute sessions in your
doctor’s office, you’ll be on a faster, easier path to feeling
better — and back to the activities you love. No risk. No downtime.
No surgery, scarring or anesthesia. And extremely high patient
satisfaction — more than 80%!
To further increase the efficacy of EPAT, many physicians will
also combine EPAT technology with additional non-invasive solutions
like Chiropractic care, and Physical Rehab. Be sure to ask your
physician about his or her treatment approach.
Heel pain is typically the result
of overuse, but can be caused by a major injury. Heel pain usually
occurs on the back or underside of your heel. Ankle pain or a
sprain is often the result of a forceful twisting of the ankle
causing a tear of ligaments in the ankle, in which no bones are
broken.
Heel pain on the bottom, front
edge of the heel. Tenderness over the bottom of the foot. Pain, to
varying degrees, when walking, which is usually worse in the
morning and improves throughout the day. Ankle pain, swelling,
bluish discoloration, pain with walking, slight increased warmth to
the injured area.
Ask your doctor about
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®). EPAT® is an
innovative, non-invasive way to treat pain. It is based on a unique
set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood
circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue
gradually regenerates and eventually heals. As an alternative to
surgery, the procedure includes 3-5 in-office sessions
approximately 5-10 minutes each at weekly intervals.
Description
Symptoms Treatment
Calf pain in the lower leg is
often a result of inflammation of the tendon that extends from the
lower calf to the heel. Pain is typically located at the back of
the ankle and worsens with walking. Shin pain can result from
overuse of the leg. The pain can arise from inflammation of the
bone, the muscle or connective tissue. The most common causes are
ill-fitting shoes, over training, and/or running on hard
surfaces.
Calf pain or swelling in the back
of the ankle, decreased ankle movement. Pain in the front and back
of the shin that is often worse in the beginning of the exercise
session, mild swelling of the front of the lower leg, pain with
bending toes or foot downward.

Description Symptoms
Treatment
Back pain can be the result of a
strain (a stretched or torn muscle injury) or from a sprain (an
over-stretched or torn ligament). It can also occur over time as a
result of gravity and normal use.
A dull or aching pain, pain radiating
down the leg, decreased flexibility, difficulty moving, pain with
movement, and occasional numbness and weakness. Pain can be
constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other
areas and may be a dull ache or a sharp piercing or burning
sensation.
