Graston Technique

---

Patients that visit us at Canyon Lake Neck & Back Clinic do so for many reasons. They may require chiropractic treatments following a car accident, sports injury, or they may be suffering from many other types of ailments that are causing pain and discomfort. Some common issues that we consistently treat are: tennis or golfers elbow, knee pain, hip pain, plantar fasciitis, sprains, post surgical scars, traumatic scars, neck pain and back pain.

Each and every patient requires the need for specific treatments according to their situation. Some treatments may include the use of the Graston Technique.

The Graston Technique involves the use of stainless steel instruments that have been specifically designed to perform the treatment. The treatment involves a mobilization technique that is used for  soft tissue mobilization. The Graston Technique allows for our professionals to determine where scar tissue, adhesions and fascial restrictions are present, then the procedure used assists in releasing them. The instrument used for the Graston Technique has been designed so it will adapt to the natural contour of the areas being treated.

While the Graston Technique is very effective at treating many different types of sports injuries it is also effective at treating other conditions that have resulted in soft tissue damage or chronic inflammation.This technique has the ability to break down the scar tissue that often occurs from a variety of different ailments. Scar tissue often causes discomfort and mobility issues. This technique also helps to break down the collagen and stretch the affected connective tissue and muscle fibers, while also increasing the blood flow to the treatment area which encourages natural healing.

Graston Technique is performed by highly trained professionals at Canyon Lake Neck & Back Clinic. 

The Graston Technique may be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment such as the ART® treatment.
