What Disorders Can Be Treated?

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

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Pain
  • Tendon and/or tendon insertion pain
  • Chronic Heel Pain
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Trigger Points

What Are The Expected Results?

The beneficial effects of shockwave therapy are often experienced after only 3 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 your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.

Is It Safe?

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.

When performed by a qualified caregiver, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT®) has virtually no risks or side effects.

I had severe foot pain due to osteo and psoriatic arthritis. Dr. Sack gave me orthotics and prescribed a natural supplement. I'm now out of pain. I'm so happy I went to him. Dr. Sack is the best!

Dr. Dunn was very understanding and extremely nice while going through the explanation of what causes plantar fasciitis, which I am suffering from. He stepped through a treatment plan of different types of stretching, as well as icing, my foot. He also told me what would be the best types of shoes and insoles to get to start. There was no need to buy anything particular expensive until I get going with the plan he laid out, and he also didn't suggest any more severe treatments until after seeing how I feel in a week or two. I could not recommend him more highly.

Dr. Sack performed a foot procedure for me, and I had a great experience. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain everything. He answered my questions quickly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The procedure went smoothly and I’m very happy with the results. If you’re looking for a skilled and responsive doctor who truly cares about his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Sack.

Dr. Sack always spends plenty of time with me during my appointments. He fully explains everything and gives options for treatment. He is very skilled at giving cortisone shots, causing me little pain. I also had another procedure, and again, he was very skilled, and the pain was minimal. I highly recommend Dr. Sack!

Are there more stars? Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. I attempted to go to a fancier looking place in the area that had good reviews and was incredibly disappointed. Why did I try somewhere else? It had been years since I went to Bartlett Foot Dr. and I thought maybe I should try somewhere else - maybe somewhere that was modern looking with good reviews online. *Cue slow clap*. No idea why such stars were given to this other place. To be frank: It sucked. I found it was less personal service and terrible suggestions. SO...I went back to Bartlett Foot Dr. and was met with no thrills - but TRULY excellent service. I've seen both doctors and they're BOTH fantastic. Most recently I met with Dr. Sack - and he is just phenom. He's like A HUMAN. He is respectful, takes his time, and explains so that you actually understand. A+ Thank you for doing your job well.
