Our feet and ankles are subject to many different problems because of the roles they play in carrying us around and keeping us fit each day. They include acute and chronic pain issues that often do not have a quick and easy treatment. Enter, EPAT.

EPAT, or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for a range of musculoskeletal issues. According to the Curamedix brochure about EPAT, “This proprietary technology 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.”

How can EPAT help me?

EPAT Treatment is used for many conditions, including these common foot problems:

• Plantar Fasciitis
• Heel Pain
• Achilles Tendinitis
• Scar adhesions in the foot and ankle
• Morton’s Neuroma
• Sesamoiditis
• Acute and Chronic Muscle Pain

A coupling gel is applied to the treatment area and then the handheld probe is placed and held there during the therapy. Because there is no surgery, anesthesia, or recovery period for EPAT treatment, patients can resume activities right after a treatment session. For some, a lingering discomfort may exist for a few days, but it should not interfere with activity. The treatments are quick and painless – taking only 5 to 10 minutes over 3+ weekly sessions. Many can feel relief after just a few sessions!
