EPAT (Shockwave) for Achilles Tendonitis in Podiatry office
Extra-corporeal pulse-activated therapy (EPAT), commonly referred to as Shockwave therapy, is an excellent non-surgical treatment for patients suffering with achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or other tendon/ligament damage. The pulse soundwave moves a piston transferring high energy to penetrate deep into tissues to stimulate new blood flow, growth factors, and repair mechanisms of tendon and ligaments. When surgery is being considered, this treatment does a remarkable job of healing tissue with no time missed from work. Try shockwave therapy before you have an operation for plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis.
