Though musculoskeletal conditions are often considered difficult to treat without causing pain, or having extended healing times, recent advances in medical science are making it easier to provide treatment without the unpleasant side effects. This treatment, also known as Shockwave Therapy, is fully approved by the FDA and is commonly used in Europe to treat injuries such as frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis.
The treatment does not require anesthesia, and the majority of patients can resume their daily activities immediately following the procedure. Though treatments will vary based on your overall health and the condition being treated, a typical session often lasts 10 to 15 minutes, and many patients require several sessions depending on the severity of the injury.
The non-surgical and non-invasive procedure uses acoustic pressure waves that penetrate into your body without breaking the skin, to increase blood circulation and speed up your body’s natural healing process. While the treatment is often described as “not pleasant,” most patients believe that it feels no worse than the injury it is treating, and many report feeling near instant pain relief when the procedure is over.
A recent study found that EPAT therapy was more effective at eliminating pain in physical therapy patients than cortisone injections, though the study only followed patients for the first 12 weeks of their therapy. Shockwave therapy is known for having very few side effects, though you may experience minor pain or swelling in the treated area.
While EPAT therapy can be highly effective, it will not work for all musculoskeletal conditions, and you should consult with a specialist at Spinal Rehab Sports Medicine to see if EPAT therapy is a good fit for your condition.
There's an old saying that says that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and that describes EPAT to a tee.
The procedure requires no drugs or chemicals, no injections, and no incisions - just a few invisible shockwaves that bring near-instant pain relief.
