EPAT: Powerful Noninvasive Pain Relief

Most patients seeking pain relief prefer non-surgical solutions—who can blame them? It’s only natural to want to avoid anesthesia and surgery. Here at Orthopaedic Institute Brielle Orthopaedics, we understand how you feel.

Our first goal is to help our patients stay active and healthy without surgery if at all possible. We provide Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) at our eight New Jersey locations, including Edison, Red Bank, Freehold, Wall, Brick, Toms River, Lacey, and Manahawkin.

Our renowned team of orthopedic and podiatry specialists leverages advanced pain management techniques, like EPAT, to help patients avoid or delay major surgery. Here’s what you should know about EPAT.

Benefits of EPAT for Pain Management

EPAT is a noninvasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.  

It’s especially useful for treating chronic pain in the feet, ankles, and legs. Here’s why EPAT might be the right choice for you:

• Noninvasive Relief: EPAT doesn’t require incisions, allowing you to avoid the risks associated with surgery.
• No Medication: For many patients, EPAT offers an effective side effect-free alternative to pain medications.
• Quick Treatment: Most EPAT sessions are completed in less than 30 minutes, with no downtime afterward.
• Improved Healing: The pressure waves from EPAT boost blood flow to the affected area, promoting faster and more effective healing.
• Long-Lasting Results: Many patients experience lasting pain relief after just a few sessions.

With these benefits, EPAT is ideal for people seeking effective pain relief without invasive procedures or lengthy recovery times.

Conditions EPAT Can Treat

EPAT is a versatile treatment option, often effective for various musculoskeletal issues. It’s commonly recommended for:

• Plantar Fasciitis: Sharp heel pain caused by an inflamed ligament on the bottom of the foot
• Achilles Tendinitis: Achilles tendon inflammation and pain that often affects athletes
• Shin Splints: Shin pain that often happens in runners and active people
• Patellar Tendinitis: Knee pain from inflammation of the patellar tendon, sometimes known as “jumper’s knee”

EPAT can safely and effectively ease pain without extensive recovery time or surgery.
