Outcomes and Research
ASTYM System Outcomes
Certified providers can give you detailed information about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the ASTYM treatment. The research and extensive outcomes database took years to develop and collect. The result is a large, reliable database that gives you specific and important information, such as:
- Prior to treatment, you will know how many visits you can expect to resolve your condition.
- You will know if your injury or condition is treatable with ASTYM therapy.
- You will be able to calculate, based on the number of treatments required, how much ASTYM therapy will cost.
- Research shows that ASTYM therapy is safe.
- Outcomes, collected across the country, prove that it works.
