Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®)
Medical treatments of the foot that can be treated with or without surgery with Fairbanks Foot and Ankle
EPAT® Therapy for Foot and Ankle Pain
At Fairbanks Foot and Ankle, we offer Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®), an advanced, non-invasive treatment for chronic foot and ankle pain. EPAT uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate blood flow, promote natural healing, and reduce inflammation in damaged tissues. This treatment is ideal for patients who want to relieve pain without surgery or downtime.


EPAT therapy is effective for many common foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, stress injuries, and soft tissue inflammation. The treatment works by improving circulation and triggering the body’s natural repair process, which accelerates healing and relieves pain. Many patients experience significant improvement in mobility and comfort after just a few sessions.
How EPAT® Can Help You
Benefits of EPAT® Therapy
There are several benefits to choosing EPAT® at Fairbanks Foot and Ankle, including:
-
Non-invasive and no surgical risks
-
No anesthesia required
-
Quick treatment sessions with no downtime
-
Promotes natural tissue healing
-
Reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation
-
Helps patients return to activity faster
This makes EPAT an excellent option for active individuals and those who want to avoid surgery.


EPAT therapy is ideal for patients struggling with chronic heel pain, tendonitis, ligament injuries, or slow-healing soft tissue conditions. It’s especially helpful for those who have tried traditional treatments like rest, orthotics, and physical therapy but are still experiencing discomfort. Whether you’re an athlete, outdoor enthusiast, or someone on their feet all day, EPAT can help restore mobility and reduce pain.
Who Can Benefit from EPAT®
When to Seek EPAT® Treatment
You should consider EPAT if you have persistent foot or ankle pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments. Signs you may benefit from EPAT include sharp heel pain, stiffness in the morning, chronic tendon discomfort, or pain that worsens with activity. At Fairbanks Foot and Ankle, we’ll perform a full evaluation to determine if EPAT is the right solution for your condition.
