Healing Timeline with EPAT®
EPAT® (Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology), also known as shockwave therapy, is a modern, non-invasive treatment designed to speed up the body’s natural healing. It works by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and triggering tissue repair — all without surgery, injections, or downtime.
How the Treatment Works
Each EPAT® session is quick, lasting only about 5–10 minutes. A complete program usually includes 5 sessions, scheduled once a week. This makes the entire treatment plan about a month long and easy to fit into your routine.
When You’ll Notice Results
Right Away: Some people experience pain relief and improved mobility after the first session.
Weeks 2–3: Progress builds as treatments continue. You may notice less stiffness, better range of motion, and reduced discomfort.
By Week 4–5: After completing all 5 sessions, most patients feel significant improvement in both pain and function.
Beyond Treatment: Healing doesn’t stop when the sessions end. The body continues repairing and strengthening tissues for 6–12 weeks, often leading to lasting relief.
Factors That Affect Recovery
The exact healing timeline can vary depending on the severity of your condition, overall health, and how well you follow your therapist’s advice. Chronic injuries may take longer, while more recent problems may heal faster. Supporting your recovery with proper exercise, rest, and lifestyle choices can further boost results.
The Takeaway
EPAT® makes recovery smoother and more natural. While many patients start to feel relief early, the best results come gradually and continue even after treatment ends — helping you return to pain-free movement without invasive procedures.
