A thorough foot assessment helps guide everything from orthotics to movement strategy, especially when marathon miles are on the horizon.

It means cueing, correcting, and guiding movement in real time because how you move matters.

🌟 The 3 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Dealing with Joint Stiffness 🌟

❌ Relying on short term fixes that do not address the bigger picture
❌ Skipping strength and mobility work that supports long term movement
❌ Waiting too long to get clear, professional guidance

“Yep… that’s the spot.”

When we say focused shockwave, this is what we mean.

Precise. Targeted. And hitting the exact area causing the pain — which is why patients feel the difference right away.

Our Story

4o years in business! “We opened our doors in August of 1989 with the philosophy that a person shouldn’t need medication everyday for pain. There are options for healing other than surgery. Most of all, we believe in empowering our patients with the tools and information they need to recover and live a pain free life.” Ida Hirst, owner
