What is Shockwave Therapy?
West Hartford Podiatry is revolutionizing patient care and foot pain treatment with shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy (EPAT), is a state-of-the-art approach to treating foot pain without surgery. It is a quick, non-invasive technology that directs radial pressure waves and focused shockwaves into your afflicted area. The unique combination of therapeutic waves will help regenerate damaged tissue. Shockwave therapy treatment sessions last as little as 15 minutes, have none of the painful recovery typical of surgery, and can reduce pain while helping you live your best life.
Heel pain is debilitating and can disrupt your entire life by making even the simplest daily activities painful and difficult. While everyone wants the pain to go away, nobody wants surgery. Invasive surgical treatments require anesthesia, downtime from work and family, as well as difficult rehabilitation treatments. Now, you can treat acute and chronic pain, connective tissue ailments, and musculoskeletal pain without invasive procedures. The experts at West Hartford Podiatry will help get you back to the daily activities that make life worth living without the surgery.
Is Shockwave Therapy Safe?
Shockwave therapy is safe and effective. Our revolutionary EPAT technology is FDA approved and the team at West Hartford Podiatry have the advanced training and expertise necessary to help you get the most out of your shockwave therapy sessions. Your treatment sessions will be so quick and painless that you will wonder how it is possible that it helps you feel so much better.
The session begins with the application of a special gel to the afflicted area that will help the shockwaves penetrate your tissue. From there, the applicator will be moved around the target area to maximize penetration of the radial pressure waves and focused shockwaves. After a few minutes of exposure to our EPAT technology you will be ready to go about your day. No surgery, no painful rehabilitation, and no extended downtime.
Is Shockwave Therapy Right For You?
Shockwave therapy is safe and noninvasive, which makes it an incredible compliment to many treatment plans.
