EPAT/Shockwave

Dr. Duke describes EPAT's effectiveness in treating Achilles tendon injuries.

Extracorporeal Pulse Activated Technology, or EPAT, is a cost-effective way to relieve pain and heal tendons, ligaments and muscle tears without injections or surgery — and the Duke Center offers this full-service rehabilitation outside of the hospital setting.

Using compressed air to generate an acoustic pressure wave within a handheld transmitter, EPAT delivers an impulse that penetrates deep within the tissues todestroy scar tissue and restore elasticity and strength. Duke Chiropractic often integrates EPAT with other soft tissue rehab, such as Active Release Technique and Graston Technique, saving you the hassle of visiting several different doctors.

WHY EPAT WORKS

EPAT is effective because it:

  • Penetrates deeper than conventional massage, but isn’t painful;
  • Has an analgesic effect;
  • Doesn’t require needles or anesthesia;
  • Creates new blood vessels and vascular support to both nourish and remove the damaged tissue;
  • Stimulates collagen joints and growth factors for muscles, so you heal faster; and
  • Often allows you to keep exercising.
Dr. Duke shows the EPAT used for Olympic care on a marathon runner.
