CuraMedix Partner Brian Nathanson, DC of New England Physical Care, CT, was featured in a recent article in Practical Pain Management.
The article highlights the value of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) as a non-invasive treatment option that effectively treats pain in many musculoskeletal conditions, including frozen shoulder. Since treatment requires no downtime, it’s especially attractive to patients looking for quick relief without the need for surgery.
Dive into the case of an understandably frustrated mom of two. Despite 18 months of physical therapy and various other treatments, she had yet to find any relief from the pain of her frozen shoulder (adhesive cellulitis). To add insult to injury, her pain was so intense it disrupted her sleep nightly and kept her from the activity she loved most – playing golf!
Regenerative Pain Management Options
Shockwave therapy is among the most innovative technologies in regenerative medicine. By harnessing the restorative and regenerative powers of EPAT, patients can get the pain relief they are looking for with this evidence-based technology and non-invasive therapy.

In this patient’s case, lasting pain relief and range of motion were achieved, enabling the patient to get back in the swing of things on the golf course and enjoy life to the fullest.
In the words of Dr. Nathanson, “EPAT is basically regenerative medicine. It uses shockwaves to help the injured tissue to regenerate.”
EPAT Treatments for Pain Management
EPAT therapy brings about healing and pain relief which is of utmost importance in pain management.
How a patient will respond to treatment is dependent upon many variables: the condition being treated, how long the patient has been suffering, prior treatments received to date, general physical health.
What to expect at in-office EPAT treatments
- 4 to 5 treatments (one treatment per week) with EPAT device on average
- 4 to 5 treatments (one treatment per week) with EPAT device on average
- Many patients experience immediate pain relief for others it takes some time
- Gel is applied to the injured or painful treatment area
- Strength of the pulse is increased gradually based on patient tolerance
- No downtime required post-treatment
Dr. Nathanson has experienced firsthand the tremendous impact of adding shockwave to his continuum of care, stating, “EPAT is a differentiator. Adding this technology to my practice has been a game-changer for me, my practice, and my patients. It sets me apart from all other chiropractors in my area.”
