Bountiful, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/18/2013 -- Focused Aspiration of Soft Tissue is a gentle method for percutaneous removal of tissue and restoration of natural tendon and soft tissue function.

The FAST procedure and TX1™ Tissue Removal System can be used to address the most common foot injuries for tendon and soft tissue including:
Plantar fasciitis

Foot orthotics are shoe inserts designed to support, align, or improve the function of the foot. These are meant to fit comfortably inside your shoes. Since orthotics are prescription devices, they are custom-made specifically for you, to suit yones individual needs and biomechanics (the way a body moves). Orthotics are prescribed by a podiatrist when one is experiencing a particular foot problem after a complete examination. The podiatrist should take into account the way ones moves, the type of footwear tone wears, their occupation, and other lifestyle factors. http://www.bountifulfootdoctor.com/tenex-health--fast-procedure-.html
