🚀 #NANS2026 Poster Highlight

Our poster shows that early VNS-paired stroke rehab improves more than upper limb function, with significant gains in gait, walking speed, balance confidence, and mobility.

Presented at #NANS by our fellow Dr. Hussain Shallwani

A year ago an 82 y/o w multiple co-morbidities had Gamma Knife with @AssafBerger + Dr. Prasad @RoswellPar for severe tremor. She can now use her right hand, eat and drink independently. Soon @UB_Neurosurgery @KaleidaHealth are bringing @INSIGHTEC HIFU to WNY for immediate relief!

🚨 Thrilled to share that @UBNS neurosurgeons at Atlas Surgery Center are the *second U.S. site* to implant the @ShiraTronics device in the "Relive-CM2" trial for chronic migraine relief. New hope for migraine sufferers! #MigraineRelief #Neurosurgery

The @vivistimsystem transforms stroke rehabilitation by combining vagus nerve stimulation w/ targeted rehabilitation exercises to enhance motor function and quality of life. Atlas Surgery Center is the only center in WNY equipped to implant the device! 👏👏👏
