Live Near Stamford CT? Have Plantar Fasciitis? Think Shock Wave Therapy

Darien Chiropractor Brian McKay shares an exciting new treatment for plantar fasciitis. EPAT® stands for Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology. EPAT® is a form of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) which is an evidence-based, emerging, proven treatment option for patients suffering from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. It is typically used to treat the pain associated with heel spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and other conditions. Millions of patients worldwide have found relief through EPAT and over 80 percent report less pain or no pain after EPAT treatment. People ask if shock wave treatment is painful? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, but you might feel a little heel pain or discomfort in the treatment area during the procedure. Most patients say it feels like small pulses against the skin. Even though the response to shockwave treatment is usually exceptionally good within a few weeks it may take several months before the maximal effect is achieved. If after 3 to 4 months you still do not experience a pronounced improvement you will be invited for a review to discuss alternative treatment options. How will the plantar fasciitis or heel spur sufferer feel after the treatment? Most patients will experience immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2-4 hours after treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as being very tolerable and it may last from a few hours to several days.Core Health Darien551 Post RoadDarien Ct 06820203-656-3636Have a Question?
