Shockwave Therapy: Fast, Non-Invasive Relief
for Chronic Heel & Foot Pain
Are chronic heel or foot problems slowing you down? EPAT (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology) Shockwave Therapy offers a non-invasive, FDA-approved solution to help you heal and get back on your feet—without surgery or downtime.
Commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and other soft tissue injuries, this breakthrough therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing process and delivers long-lasting pain relief.
What is EPAT Shockwave Therapy?
EPAT Shockwave Therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to target damaged tissues, increase blood flow, and accelerate healing—without needles, surgery, or medications. This advanced technology treats the root cause of pain rather than masking the symptoms.
- Non-invasive and safe
- Stimulates cellular repair and tissue regeneration
- Performed in-office with no anesthesia needed

What To Expect
- Preparation: Your treatment starts with a consultation and examination from our podiatrists to determine if EPAT is right for you.
- Duration: Each session typically lasts 15 minutes.
- Comfort Level: You may feel a light tapping that is usually well-tolerated by patients. There are no needles or incisions. Your podiatrist uses a handheld device to deliver low-frequency sound waves to the injured area.
- Downtime: There is no downtime—you can return to regular activities immediately.
- Number of Treatments: Your doctor may recommend at least 4 sessions, spaced one week apart. Please note that your needs may vary depending on your condition.
