Try Graston Technique for Your Soft Tissue Injuries

The Graston Technique is used to Detect and Treat Your Soft Tissue Injuries

The Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization used to detect and treat muscular adhesions.  The Graston Technique has been shown to be effective in treating numerous acute and chronic conditions including carpal tunnel, neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, strains and sprains, tendonitis, and post-surgical scarring.  Also, the technique is used by numerous college and professional athletic teams, a diverse group of healthcare providers, the United States Olympic Team, large corporations, and even branches of the military. 

The Graston Technique Incorporates 6 Specifically Designed Steel Instruments Contoured to Address Various Aspects of the Human Anatomy

The technique incorporates the usage of 6 stainless steel instruments that are specially designed and contoured to address various aspects of the human anatomy.  Muscle fibers generally are arranged in a similar direction which when contracted, allows a person to move a specific body part in a specific direction.  When an injury occurs or scar tissue is present, those fibers become mixed to the point where they lie in various directions. 

The Beveled Edges of the Graston Tool are Used for Specific Fibrous Adhesions

Using specific strokes and pressures, the beveled edges of the Graston tools are used by a chiropractor to break up these fibrous adhesions, allowing them to lie back down in their original direction and position.  Along with specific stretches and exercises, this technique allows individuals to recover from injury and surgery faster and more completely.  If you are suffering from some soft-tissue injury, osteoarthritis, or recovering from surgery, talk to Dr. Kmett today about applying the Graston Technique.
