Soft Tissue Therapy in Beaverton OR
ASTYM treatment works on soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
It is a safe and effective answer for tendon and connective tissue pain, such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, patellar tendinopathy, shoulder tendinitis, and tennis or golfers’ elbow.
ASTYM stands for “a stimulation” of the body’s healing response, which results in the reabsorption of scar tissue and the regeneration of tendons. The approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently.
What are tendinopathies?
Chronic tendinitis or tendinopathy refers to damaged tissue that develops due to an inadequate healing response of damaged tendons. The damaged structure in the tendon is the cause of pain – as opposed to inflammation. Getting rest, using anti-inflammatories, and having steroid injections will only provide temporary relief. For long-term healing, the underlying problem caused by the damage must be addressed.
- ASTYM addresses the underlying pathology at the site of the pain.
- ASTYM facilitates tissue turnover and stimulates the remodeling and regeneration of the scarred, fibrotic, and degenerated tissue.
- ASTYM jump-starts the healing process rather than only mediating the inflammatory process.
