FAQs
What is EPAT Shockwave Therapy?
EPAT is a non-invasive cutting-edge and highly effective treatment method for healing damaged joints, muscles and bones. High-energy sound waves are introduced into the painful areas of the body to accelerate the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism, enhancing blood circulation and activate stem cells to regenerate damaged tissue. These sound waves (shocks) create micro-cavitation bubbles that expand and burst. The force created by these bubbles penetrates tissue and stimulates cells in the body that are responsible for bone and soft tissue healing.
