ASTYM (A-stim) treatment is a revolutionary process that heals soft tissue problems by stimulating the regenerative healing process of the body. This approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently. The ASTYM system rejuvenates muscles, tendons and ligaments. It gets rid of scar tissue problems from old injuries in a fashion previously unimaginable. It is unique for several reasons:

• ASTYM treatment is fast - typical course of treatment lasts only four to six weeks.
• You remain active - during ASTYM therapy you are encouraged to continue normal activities. You can still go to work and stay in your sport or favorite activity without having to take time off from your life while you heal.
• It's non-invasive - no needles, no knives, no drugs. Period.
• It really fixes the problem- the ASTYM system doesn't just treat the symptoms or hide a problem with a temporary solution. Instead, the system stimulates the body to heal properly and completely.
• Certified providers - only certified ASTYM therapists offer this therapy. These certified clinicians undergo intensive training and they will give you the results you expect from ASTYM treatment
• ASTYM treatment was developed by experienced medical professionals through years of detailed research.

Problematic soft tissue injuries start with scarring or degeneration: Stubborn soft tissue injuries result when inappropriate healing occurs in muscles, tendons or ligaments. Scar tissue can be part of your body's normal healing process, but sometimes the scarring gets out of control. In these cases, scar tissue becomes disorganized and lays out in the same manner comparable to that of steel wool. Healthy tissue lies down in nice, tidy organized lines. Scar tissue can restrict the natural movement of soft tissue, and those restrictions can cause pain. Degenerative tendons are simply not producing enough healthy cells and collagen. A degenerative tendon is unhealthy, has poor blood flow and is prone to weakness and injury.

ASTYM treatment initiates the natural healing response of the body by gently disrupting abnormal soft tissue. The body sends new collagen to the area being treated, replacing dysfunctional tissue with healthy tissue. The ASTYM system works to heal both the problem of scar (inappropriate healing) and degeneration (lack of proper healing).

*Currently. Ascent Physical Therapy is one of only 3 certified clinics in the state of Nevada who can administer this unique form of treatment.
