Shockwave Therapy EPAT

Here, at The Foot & Ankle Clinic, we take pride in offering some of the latest advancements in medicine. Shockwave therapy, or EPAT, is one of the latest advancements in non-surgical treatments to alleviate painful soft tissue conditions. Some if the indications for shockwave therapy include:

  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Bursitis
  • Neuroma
  • Tendonitis
  • Scar tissue
  • Jumper’s knee
  • Tennis elbow
  • Shin splints
  • Plantar fasciitis/heel spur
  • Shoulder pain
  • Posterior tibial tendonitis
  • Calcific rotator cuff tendonitis
  • Neuropathy

​Benefits of shockwave therapy include:

  • Increased bloodflow
  • No downtime
  • No anesthesia
  • No painful injections
  • No toxic oral pills/medications
  • ​Quick and painless procedure less than 10 min​
  • Stimulates healing cascade to repair tissue

Clinical Success Rate and Effectiveness:

There have been more than 300 articles published on Shockwave Therapy, including 10 double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials. The evidence for the use of Shockwave Therapy is overwhelming.

Recent clinical studies suggest there is an 80% – 85% chance this technology will improve your condition provided you are a good candidate for Shockwave treatment

  • 91% IMPROVEMENT FOR CALCIFIC TENDINITIS
  • 83% IMPROVEMENT FOR CALCIFIC TENDINITIS OF THE SHOULDER
  • 77% IMPROVEMENT FOR TENNIS ELBOW
  • 76% IMPROVEMENT FOR ACHILLES TENDINOPATHY
  • 90% IMPROVEMENT FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS
  • 80% IMPROVEMENT FOR RADIAL AND ULNAR HUMERAL EPICONDYLITIS
  • 88% IMPROVEMENT FOR PATELLAR TENDINITIS/ ACHILLODYNIA
  • 80% IMPROVEMENT FOR MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS

All of this sounds great, but What is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive, alternative to surgery for those suffering from many joint and tendon disorders.

A shockwave is a “high powered sound wave”. Shockwave Therapy sends acoustic shockwaves into bone or soft tissue, in effect re-injuring the area on a cellular level and breaking up the scarring that has penetrated tendons and ligaments. The controlled re-injuring of tissue allows the body to regenerate blood vessels and bone cells. The resulting re-vascularization leads to faster healing, a chemically induced decrease in pain and sensitivity of pain receptors, and often a return to pre-injury activity levels.
