Dr Eppley Introduces ActPatch as an adjunct to Massage Therapy

ActiPatch is becoming increasingly used in my plastic surgery practice to aid postoperative recovery from surgery. For all types of breast surgery and cosmetic facial surgery, I have found it beneficial to reduce the amount of bruising, swelling, and pain from these procedures. ActiPatch is a drug-free anti-inflammatory device that works on the principle of emitting pulsed electromagnetic fields from the circuitry in his patch and loop designs. It is applied externally over the surgery site and is used primarily in the first 48 hours after surgery.
It has many other musculoskeletal applications for the treatment of chronic muscle pain and strains from the lower back to the foot and ankle areas. It comes in a variety of geometric shapes and designs for differing applications. Its works for these musculoskeletal issues the same as in postoperative surgery recovery...to control pain and inflammation. Using it personally for back and shoulder issues, I have found it has an effect within a few hours that, in some situations, have rivaled the potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
The beneficial effects of ActiPatch, and its non-drug mechanism of action, are a perfect complement to many of the massage therapy patients. As a complement to massage and in the treatment of muscle soreness and stiffness, ActiPatch offers an inexpensive and easy-to-apply method to prolong what has been attained in a massage treatment. At Ology Spa, we now offer this innovative pain treatment method to our massage patients as well as an off-the shelf retail item.
