Accelerate Healing with EPAT Pressure Wave Therapy

Traditional treatments for painful musculoskeletal conditions often have risks, side effects or lengthy paths to recovery. Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) is different. This  non-invasive treatment uses a unique set of acoustic pressure waves that stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate healing of injured soft tissue, bone, heel and joint pain by stimulating the body’s regenerative process. EPAT requires no anesthesia, has no downtime, scarring or risk of infection.

Sellari Chiropractic Center in North Brunswick is pleased to announce the addition of this groundbreaking therapy to its host of services. “EPAT is a safe, FDA approved treatment with virtually no side effects. The basic technology behind it has been used for decades to relieve pain in millions of people worldwide,” states Dr. Robert Sellari. “Clinical studies have also confirmed its safety and efficacy.”

The types of conditions treated with EPAT include: muscle, ligament and tendon injuries; elbow pain; plantar fasciitis/heal pain; rotator cuff injuries/shoulder pain; knee, neck and back pain; and SI joint pain. Although response time varies, patients often experience relief after only 3 treatments.

“With a 75%-95% reported success rate, it’s equal to or greater than traditional treatments but without the risks or long recovery time,” comments Sellari.

 

Sellari Chiropractic Center is located on Route 130, North Brunswick. For information, call 732-479-8446 or visit SellariChiropractic.com.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
