Stubborn pain that won’t go away with rest, stretching, or strengthening? Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment we offer at VASTA to help break up scar tissue, stimulate healing, and reduce chronic pain.

This technique can be especially helpful for patients with plantar fasciitis, lateral hip pain, shin splints, tennis/golfer's elbow, rotator cuff problems, and more!

If traditional rehab methods haven’t worked, ESWT might be the next step. Our trained clinicians are here to help you explore your options.

Nothing better than helping athletes get back to doing what they love, pain free!

Ever hear a “pop” during treatment and wonder what’s actually happening? That might be joint mobilization or manipulation—two powerful, pain-free techniques we use to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.

Mobilizations are slow, controlled movements used on stiff joints (like hips, elbows, or the spine) to stretch surrounding tissues and reduce restriction. Manipulations, on the other hand, are quicker movements that may produce a satisfying “pop”...what we call cavitation.

Both are highly effective when performed by trained clinicians, and at VASTA, you’re in expert hands. Whether you're recovering from injury or just want to move better, we’ve got you.
