Foot and Ankle Specialists of New Jersey in Westfield, Rahway and Union, New Jersey will be offering the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method of musculoskeletal pain approced by the Food and Drug Administration.

Nearly one-in-four Americans suffer from musculoskeletal pain. The The EPAT® device promotes healing without surgery for musculoskeletal disorders involving soft tissue.   

The most exciting aspect about this new technology is that it provides an alternative treatment option to traditional treatment methods including surgery. Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment increases healing rates, reduces recovery time. Moreover, healthcare expenditures and related out-of-pocket costs to patients are significantly reduced.  EPAT allows physicians to treat a variety of traditionally difficult soft tissue problems with a new method that promotes tissue healing on its own and has no significant side effects. 

Traditional treatment methods for soft tissue pain include: medication, injections, physical therapy, orthotics, expensive prosthetic devices, rest and invasive and costly surgery.  The D-Actor®, distributed in the U.S. by CuraMedix, uses a unique and proprietary set of acoustic pressure waves similar to that of lithotripsy used successfully in the past decade to treat kidney stones.  The EPAT® pressure waves stimulate a healing response in inflamed or injured soft tissue. 

EPAT® consists of 3 treatments spaced 1week apart and takes 5-10 minutes, without the need of anesthesia.  Patients may experience immediate relief from pain however; healing of inflamed or injured tissue may take up to twelve weeks depending on the condition.
