EPAT
動きのあるEPATSTAY
EPAT®とは何ですか？体外パルス活性化技術（EPAT®）は、FDAによって承認された最も先進的で非常に効果的な非侵襲的治療法です。この独自のテクノロジーは、新陳代謝を刺激し、血液循環を促進し、治癒プロセスを加速するユニークな一連の圧力波に基づいています。損傷した組織は徐々に再生し、最終的には治癒します。この非侵襲的なオフィス/クリニックベースの手順は、広範囲の筋骨格疾患に対する画期的な治療オプションです。
What disorders can be treated?
Generally, acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life. Areas include:
► Neck
► Shoulder
► Back and chest
► Upper extremity
► Lower extremity
► Foot and ankle
► Myofascial trigger points
What are the possible side effects/ complications?
The non-invasive EPAT® treat-ment has virtually no risks or side effects. In some cases, patients may experience some minor discomfort which may continue for a few days. It is normal to have some residual pain after intense exercise or a full day of work.
Elective Payment and Insurance
Insurance typically does not cover the EPAT® procedure, however, the Elective Payment option allows you to have all the benefits of an EPAT® procedure at a very affordable price. Often there can be significant savings to you through the Elective Payment option as compared to paying deductibles, multiple co-pays, and other non-insurance covered surgery, post operative surgical care and rehabilitation. This non-invasive option will be particularly appealing to those patients who are eager to return to work or normal activities in only a few days with just as good, if not better, clinical results compared to traditional treatment methods, including surgery.
How much does it cost?
For most patients, the Elective Payment out-of-pocket costs are much less than you would expect. Your physician can provide a personalized pricing program. Some patients can use their employer's "Flexible Payment Medical Savings Account" to cover these out-of-pocket expenses with pre-tax dollars.
How can I get more information?
Your doctor is the best person to talk with if you have questions or concerns about the EPAT® procedure. He or she has extensive knowlege and specialized training on all aspects of its use, safety and effectiveness. You can also learn more about EPAT® technology by visiting the CuraMedix website at www.curamedix.com.
What are the expected results?
The beneficial effects of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) are often experienced after only 3 treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to 4 weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.
Is it safe?
Yes. This FDA cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering, and optimal quality have been built into each [PAT® device; and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy. If performed by a qualified caregiver, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) has virtually no risks or side effects.
What is the duration of the treatment and how many treatments will I need?
Treatment sessions take approximately 5-10 minutes depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 3 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals.
What will happen after the treatment procedure?
You will receive post-treatment instructions from your physician to follow during your recovery.
What if I have a special health condition?
The safety and effectiveness of the EPAT® procedure has not been determined on people with the following health conditions. Your doctor will provide you with information about how these and other conditions might affect the determination to perform the EPAT® procedures.
► Malignancies
► DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
