Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) & Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) and Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), also collectively called “shockwave therapy,” is a safe treatment that uses pressure waves (not electrical waves) to help injured parts of your body heal. These waves boost blood flow, break up tight or damaged tissue, and help your body fix itself—without needles, medicine, or surgery. There are two types of shock wave treatments, radial and focused, and we use them together for the best benefit.

Shock wave therapy works well for hard-to-treat problems like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff pain, Achilles pain, hip pain, and long-lasting muscle or tendon pain. Focused shock wave can also be used to treat arthritis pain or cartilage tears in the knee. Most people start to feel better after just a few treatments. Shock wave treatments are great for active people and competitive athletes due to the non-invasive nature with immediate pain reduction. It’s a quick, in-office option that helps you heal faster, move easier, and get back to the things you enjoy—without needing time off to recover.
