Graston Technique
What is Graston Technique?
The Graston Technique is a specialized form of manual therapy that utilizes specifically designed instruments to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunction. This innovative approach effectively addresses musculoskeletal conditions and promotes healing through targeted treatment of scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and other soft tissue abnormalities. It is a non-invasive and drug-free therapy that aims to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance overall well-being.
Common Conditions Treated with the Graston Technique
The Graston Technique has been proven effective in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Chronic and acute muscle strains
- Tendinopathies (such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendinitis)
- Plantar fasciitis
- IT band syndrome
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Scar tissue restrictions
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- And more
By addressing these conditions at the root cause, the Graston Technique provides targeted relief and promotes long-term healing.
The Graston Technique Treatment Procedure: What to Expect
When you visit Priority Health Chiropractic Clinic for Graston Technique treatment, our skilled chiropractors will guide you through the following steps:
