Shockwave Therapy
A Breakthrough in Non-Surgical Pain Relief
At Autobiography Health, we offer Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®). This is the most advanced FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for individuals seeking long-lasting relief — often with outcomes comparable to traditional surgical approaches, yet without anesthesia, incisions, or prolonged recovery.
This cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment represents a breakthrough approach for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions, such as:
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Achilles & Tendon Pain
Tennis Elbow & Wrist Conditions
Shoulder Tendinopathies
Knee Pain & Patellar Tendinopathy
Neck & Back Pain
Myofascial Trigger Points
Chronic Muscle Strain or Overuse Injuries
How It Works
Using a specialized device, we send high energy acoustic pressure waves to the injured area. These waves:
Stimulate the body's own healing and recovery process and jump start cellular repair
Enhance microcirculation, ushering vital oxygen and nutrients to injured areas
Break down scar tissue and calcifications, improving mobility and reducing pain
Stimulate collagen production, strengthening tendons and supporting long-term resilience
Each session is brief, typically lasting 10–20 minutes, comfortable, and designed around your schedule — so you can return to refined living with renewed ease.
Reignite your Body’s Innate Healing Response
Living with persistent discomfort can diminish not just your physical ability, but your quality of life. Our advanced shockwave therapy delivers focused acoustic energy precisely where it’s needed, stimulating circulation, promoting tissue regeneration, and addressing chronic pain at its source.
Regenerative medicine harnesses the body's own healing mechanisms to restore function, repair damaged tissues, and enhance recovery. Dr. Yang integrates cutting-edge biologic therapies and advanced treatment modalities to offer non-surgical solutions for pain, injury, and chronic conditions.
Advanced Regenerative Treatments Include:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Uses concentrated growth factors to accelerate healing and tissue regeneration.
Stem Cell-Based Therapies
Designed to promote repair and recovery at a cellular level.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
A non-invasive technique that enhances circulation and stimulates tissue regeneration.
Prolotherapy
An injection therapy that activates the body’s natural healing response for joint and ligament injuries.
Adipose-Derived Cell Therapy
Utilizes fat-derived cells injected into targeted areas to support healing and regenerative processes.
Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMAC) Therapy
Uses a patient’s own processed bone marrow to support the repair of damaged joints, tendons, cartilage, and other musculoskeletal tissues. Often used for injuries and degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis.
By integrating regenerative therapies into personalized treatment plans, patients experience faster recovery times, improved mobility, and long-term relief from musculoskeletal conditions.
Dr. Yang’s expertise in physical medicine, rehabilitation, and regenerative care ensures that every treatment is backed by years of specialized training and experience. Patients can feel confident knowing they are working with a physician who has dedicated his career to innovative, evidence-based healing solutions.

Is Shockwave Therapy Right for You?
EPAT may be appropriate if you’re experiencing acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain that limits your mobility or quality of life. It is commonly used for conditions affecting the neck, shoulder, back, upper and lower extremities, foot and ankle, and myofascial trigger points
This breakthrough therapy uses targeted acoustic pressure waves to stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
At Autobiography Health in Pasadena, California, we carefully evaluate your condition, movement patterns, and goals to determine whether this surgery-alternative treatment is the right fit for you.
The Science Behind EPAT
Targeted Sound Waves
EPAT uses gentle acoustic pressure waves delivered directly to the injured area.
Improved Blood Flow
These waves increase circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissue
Cell Activation
The treatment stimulates cellular metabolism, helping restart the body’s natural healing process
Tissue Repair & Regeneration
As circulation and cellular activity improve, damaged tissue gradually regenerates and heals over time
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients need 4–6 sessions, usually spaced about a week apart. Some people feel relief sooner, while more chronic conditions may require additional treatments.
Shockwave Therapy is generally well-tolerated. You may feel mild discomfort during treatment, and some soreness afterward, similar to how your body feels after exercise.
No. Shockwave Therapy requires little to no downtime, and most patients can return to normal daily activities right away or within a few days.
Yes. Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical option that has shown strong results for many musculoskeletal conditions, helping reduce pain and improve mobility without the risks or recovery time of surgery.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used to treat chronic muscle, tendon, and joint pain, including conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and other soft tissue injuries. It can also help with general pain that limits movement or daily activity.
