See a live demonstration of a breakthrough new non-invasive treatment option for muscle or tendon pain called “Shock Wave.”
Join us for a live demonstration of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) – more commonly known as “Shock Wave” – one of the most advanced and effective non-surgical pain treatment methods cleared by the FDA.
During this special free event, one of WNY’s leading foot and ankle surgeons Dr. David Pochatko will demonstrate the use of this technology to address plantar fasciitis.
What is Shock Wave?
Shock Wave is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals.
This non-invasive in-office procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions – generally, acute or chronic muscle pain and/or tendon insertional pain that significantly impairs mobility or quality of life including: foot and ankle, shoulder, back and chest, upper extremity, and lower extremity pain.
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. In fact, for conditions like plantar fasciitis it has been shown to completely eliminate the pain without injections, surgery or medications!
Attend this free session and receive $100 off your Shock Wave treatment.
When you attend this special event, you’ll receive $100 off your own Shock Wave treatment.
Seating for this socially distanced event is limited and reservations are required so sign up today! (Please note that all attendees will be required to wear a face mask.)
