What is musculoskeletal pain?

Musculoskeletal pain can be categorized into two main types: acute and chronic. These terms describe the duration and persistence of the pain.

Acute Musculoskeletal Pain:
Acute pain is typically of sudden onset and short duration. It is often caused by a specific injury or trauma to the musculoskeletal system, such as a sprain, strain, fracture, or muscle tear. Acute pain is usually temporary and serves as a warning signal to the body that something is wrong. It often resolves as the underlying injury or condition heals. Treatment for acute musculoskeletal pain may involve rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), pain medications, and physical therapy to promote healing and alleviate symptoms.

Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain:
Chronic pain, on the other hand, is characterized by persistent or recurrent pain lasting for more than three to six months, even after the initial injury or condition has healed. Chronic musculoskeletal pain can result from various causes, such as underlying medical conditions (e.g., arthritis, fibromyalgia), degenerative changes (e.g., osteoarthritis), nerve damage (e.g., neuropathy), or it may be idiopathic (without a clear underlying cause). Unlike acute pain, chronic pain often has a significant impact on a person’s daily life and functioning, including their physical, emotional, and social well-being.

INTRODUCING EPAT

Patients, like you, who suffer from acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain now have access to an innovative, noninvasive treatment that will get you feeling better faster.

In as few as one 10-15min treatment you’ll experience significant relief of your symptoms and will likely require 5-6 weekly treatment sessions for full benefit. You’ll be able to return to your favorite sport or activity; and there’s no downtime.

Let’s look at the benefits:

  • Evidence-based
  • Non-invasive
  • No anesthesia required
  • No risk of infection
  • No scarring
  • No downtime
  • Over 80% patient satisfaction
  • Cost effective
  • Faster, easier healing

FAQ

Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), sometimes referred to as ESWT or shock wave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing process.

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 EPAT® 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.

Generally, acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life including:

  • Achilles pain
  • Back and chest
  • Foot and ankle pain
  • Lower extremity pain
  • Neck pain
  • Neuromas
  • Shoulder pain
  • Tendon and/or tendon insertion pain
  • Trigger points
  • Upper extremity pain

The beneficial effects of EPAT® are often experienced with a protocol of 5-6 weekly treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to four weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving the patient’s quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.

Treatment sessions take approximately 5-20 minutes depending on the disorder to be treated. Generally, 3-5 treatment sessions are necessary at weekly intervals. More chronic conditions may require more sessions.

You will receive post-treatment instructions from your physician to follow during your recovery.

EPAT has a proven success rate that is equal to or greater than that of traditional treatment methods (including surgery) and without the risks, complications, and lengthy recovery time.

Coupling gel is applied to the treatment area of interest to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, EPAT pressure waves are released via the applicator moved over the area of interest in a circular motion.

EPAT is:

  • Performed in your physician’s office/ clinic
  • Does not require anesthesia
  • Requires a minimal amount of time

Patients can:

  • Bear weight (i.e. walk) immediately,
  • Return to work/normal activities within 24-48 hours
  • Resume strenuous activities after 4 weeks.

The non-invasive EPAT® treatment 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.

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)

Alesia

Absolutely first rate. Dr. Arcella and his entire team are accommodating, caring, and professional. Was able to see me the same the same day when I called for an evaluation and treatment for my severe back pain.

Adam
My wife has experienced chronic pain for years. The past few months had led to even greater chronic pain that impacts nearly every aspect of our lives. The staff was exceptional at not simply gathering the initial history, but continuing to listen throughout the process. As one with chronic pain may know, the ability to effectively communicate is often challenging. All pain which may include the neck, back, sciatica, etc are not created equal. The staff not only listened initially, but has continued to strive to help alleviate long term chronic pain that has gotten more manageable since treatment at Denovo Pain Management. We appreciate Dr Arcella and his staff in their desire to help solve long term issues through a systematic, thoughtful, and caring approach that gives hope for a better tomorrow.
David

After years of chronic pain and multiple spine surgeries Dr. Arcella was able to diagnose the problem on my first visit and devised a plan to eliminate my pain without the use of opioids. I left there today a new man with a new outlook on life. I had forgotten what it was like to be without pain.

Jack

Dr. Arcella is fantastic! I came in with neck and shoulder pain and.he listened carefully to where and how it was hurting me and then that day he gave me micro targeted steroid shot on main pain point and within a 48 hours I was feeling significantly better. I am now back playing tennis pain free. The office is well run and efficient. Dr. Arcella is friendly and very good at diagnosing exact nature of problem. He really cared about eliminating the pain I was having.

Paul

I received the best care here for my lower back. The staff is very professional and caring. Thank you guys for everything!!!

Patricia

Dr Arcella helped me to eliminate all pain in my hip. He and his staff are wonderful and I recommend him for all pain management.

Gail

I was suffering from severe headaches as a result of head and neck surgury. Medications did not work. The headaches would last for days. My PCP referred me to Dr. Arcella. After discussion Dr. Arcella recomendrd a nerve block shot. Unfortunately I did not have any relief. A few day later we agreed on different shot process. I have been headache free for three weeks now. Highly recommend DeNovo Pain Management for your pains and a better life.

Dave
Dr. Arcella and staff are excellent. They are patient with compassionate understanding during a time of uncertain origin of pain. Dr. Arcella was able to find the problem and had me walking without assistance within 3 visits. I highly recommend this practice.
Sandra

My pain was so excruciating I could not turn over to find a comfortable position to sleep. Getting out of bed was worse as it took about 30 minutes to stand reasonably upright. One month and 4 days ago, Dr Arcella listened and began treatment. I can hardly believe that I am currently pain free! I cannot begin to relate how grateful I am!

Peggy

They call it DeNovo Pain Management, they should really call it Denovo Compassion, Competence and Caring. Went Monday for a diagnosis for nerve pain in my groin, and entire front leg. I had incurred three months of medication, visits to orthopedic, neurosurgeon, during which time incurring substantial pain and lack of sleep. Starting Monday, Dr. Arcella prescribed medication, and I had an epidural injection today. I feel much better and have much confidence going ahead. Thanks to all the caring staff with a special shutout to Heather. PS, I made this journey to Dr Arcella from the Philadelphia area, via a recommendation from my sons local doctor friend. I’m not sorry about making the trip, and plan to come back for follow up visits when necessary.

Michael
Dr Arcello gave me all of my options and was very honest. 2 treatments and I have my quality of life back. Support staff is friendly and caring
Mary
Dr. Arcella and his staff are absolutely amazing! He told me when I first met with him that not to worry that he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and a lot of recommendations but ultimately I was in charge of my own path of care. I love his approach and I love the fact that he is helping my pain subside!
Jennifer

My father has been in excruciating pain for years. Last year he had a full hip replacement in hopes that would ease the pain. It did not. His orthopedic surgeon referred him to DeNovo pain management. Dr. Arcella and his staff have been amazing. From the time we walked in the door, he has been treated with nothing but kindness and professionalism. Better yet, after just 2 visits, my dad is pain free!!! Dr.arcella explained dad’s options and recommendations thoroughly and did so using verbage we could understand. On the second visit my dad hobbled in the office and came out skipping with a smile on his face that I hadn’t seen in years. I cannot thank this office enough for their gift of life they provided for my dad. I definitely recommend to anyone with pain. They are the best!

Amy
Dr. Arcella and his team are awesome. He’s caring and kind and professional without being condescending. He listens and will assure u that whatever it takes he’ll do his best to help. I would recommend this team to anyone who is looking for assistance in managing their pain.
Kathleen

I must admit my first visit to see Dr. Arcella I was a mess. My rt shoulder and neck was my complaint. I was in so much pain I couldnt think straight I’m so serious. But after several injections and Encouragement from the entire staff. I’m now a happy woman. Don’t suffer from pain call Dr. Arcella for help
