EPI®: Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis

The EPI® technique is an advanced method of invasive physical therapy that applies a continuous galvanic current through an acupuncture needle to trigger a highly controlled inflammatory response in damaged soft tissue. This "lysis" process targets and eliminates degenerated tissue, immediately activating the body's natural self-repair mechanisms.

At Sohail Clinic, as high-performance specialists, we utilize EPI® to address complex injuries that have failed to respond to conventional therapies. Since this procedure is strictly applied under ultrasound guidance, we guarantee the therapeutic stimulus focuses directly on the epicenter of the lesion, maximizing recovery success rates.

Why is the EPI® technique so effective?

Its capability to act directly on fibrotic or severely degenerated tissue yields clinical outcomes unachievable through traditional non-invasive techniques:

Pathologies Treated with EPI®

It stands as the treatment of choice for the most prevalent injuries in sports and active lifestyles:

Chronic tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow/epicondylitis, rotator cuff), plantar fasciitis, acute and chronic muscle tears showing fibrosis, and sports hernia (pubalgia). It is crucial in preventing an injury from becoming recurrent.

The Sohail Guarantee: Ultrasound-Guided Procedures

Patient safety is our absolute priority. For this reason, at Sohail Clinic we perform 100% of our EPI® interventions under continuous ultrasound tracking. This lets us visualize the needle and the targeted tissue on screen at all times, preventing unintended contact with vascular or nerve networks while ensuring the current dosage is perfectly tailored to your case.

Following the EPI® application, we combine the treatment with monitored eccentric exercise protocols, which synergizes the effects of the technique and ensures a safe, lasting return to sports activities.
