Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) can successfully address acute and chronic pain. It is a highly effective treatment method using high-energy sound waves that are introduced into the painful areas of the body. It is a highly effective noninvasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. The treatment works by helping to improve the regenerative potential and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue. Beneficial effects are often experienced after only 1 or 2 treatments without having significant down time or post procedure pain.
