Will I Have Any Side Effects?
While EPAT treatments are not the most comfortable, the process is definitely tolerable. No patient should experience pain during treatments. It is likely that you will not notice any side effects during or directly after your treatment, but it is normal for irritation and swelling to occur in the affected area(s) 2-4 hours after the shockwaves have been administered. You may also experience a dull throbbing pain in that area, but it should all disappear within the next couple days following your treatment. If you are experiencing pain after treatments, it is important to make sure that you do not use ice or take any anti-inflammatory medication, as the shockwaves are meant to trigger the body’s natural inflammatory healing response. If you are experiencing discomfort, we can suggest an alternative pain relief method. Contact us today! Many patients prefer EPAT treatments because it is fast and effective. In many cases, it also eliminates the need for harmful drugs or surgical correction. Most patients report an immediate reduction of pain and improved mobility in the affected area(s) following treatments. It works by speeding up the body’s natural healing process, allowing for less recovery time and immediate relief. In fact, many patients notice a difference after just one session!
