Advanced Shockwave Therapy (EPAT) in Dunwoody, GA
Do you suffer from persistent soft tissue pain like Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, or chronic shoulder discomfort that never seems to go away?
Traditional treatments often focus only on symptoms, but at Lotus Chiropractic Care in Dunwoody, GA, we use Shockwave Therapy (also known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology or EPAT) to jumpstart your body’s innate healing process.
Shockwave Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to target chronic musculoskeletal pain, accelerating recovery and providing lasting relief for residents across the Dunwoody community.
Book OnlineHow Shockwave Therapy Accelerates Healing
Shockwave Therapy delivers controlled, high-intensity acoustic energy waves deep into damaged soft tissue, tendons, ligaments, and muscle. While the name sounds intense, the treatment is non-invasive and highly precise.
This energy creates a controlled biological response in the treated area:
- Stimulates Metabolism: The acoustic waves stimulate cellular activity, encouraging the body to switch from a chronic state of pain to an acute healing phase.
- Enhanced Blood Flow (Neovascularization): It promotes the formation of new blood vessels, delivering essential nutrients, oxygen, and growth factors to the injured site, which are critical for repair.
- Breaks Down Calcification: Shockwaves can mechanically disrupt stubborn calcium deposits (common in conditions like calcific shoulder tendonitis).
- Pain Reduction: The treatment helps interrupt pain signals to the brain, providing significant pain relief, often starting right away.
By increasing blood circulation and activating the body’s regeneration mechanisms, Shockwave Therapy transforms chronic, stagnant injuries into areas actively engaged in repair.
Musculoskeletal Conditions Treated with Shockwave
Shockwave Therapy is exceptionally versatile and often utilized when other treatments have failed to resolve chronic, persistent pain. It is highly effective for:
