How Graston Therapy Works

Primarily, Graston therapy is designed to help identify areas of fascial restriction and attempt to break up scar tissue during rehabilitation as an effective method in improving circulation/blood flow. This method assists in faster rehabilitation and greater success when the goal is to restore range of motion, eliminate pain, and restore normal function.

It breaks up fascial restrictions, scar tissue adhesions, and detects areas of chronic inflammation and/or fibrosis through the reverberation back through the instrument into the practitioner’s hand, which feels notably different when compared to healthy tissue.

Our Chiropractors incorporate Graston Therapy into your care and wellness sessions if we feel it will benefit you.

What To Expect During Your Appointment

Our process is simple. Here’s what you can expect during your Graston Therapy appointment:

1. Comprehensive Assessment: Your session begins with a thorough assessment of your condition, medical history, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. This helps us understand the root cause of your pain or injury, and if Graston Therapy is right for you.

2. Personalized Care Plan: Based on your assessment, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs, such as how many sessions you need, which areas will benefit most from Graston Therapy, other chiropractic sessions, and so on.

4. Graston Therapy Session: Using specially designed stainless steel instruments, our trained practitioner will apply precise pressure to the affected soft tissues. These tools help break down scar tissue, improve circulation, and promote healing. You may feel some super mild discomfort during the session, but this is a normal part of the process and indicates the treatment is working.

4. Post-Treatment Care: After your session, we provide guidance on aftercare, including stretches, exercises, and/or ways to improve circulation in the treated area to enhance the benefits of your treatment.

5. Follow-Up and Progress Tracking: We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed. Our goal is to ensure you continue to improve with each session and return to full activity as quickly as possible.
