EPATⓡ /Shockwave Therapy
What is EPATⓡ/Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPATⓡ), also known as ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) or shockwave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method for pain and musculoskeletal conditions. The technology delivers a set of acoustic pressure waves at targeted depth levels in the body.
Treatment benefits
- decreases pain
- stimulates metabolism
- lowers inflammation
- increases blood circulation
- accelerates healing process
- enhances tissue regeneration
How is the treatment performed?
Coupling gel is first applied to the treatment area to enhance effectiveness. Then radial pressure waves and focused pressure waves are released via the applicator which is moved over the area in a various motion patterns.
What areas of the body can be treated?
