Graston Technique® in Austin
This innovative and patented new approach to medicine involves an instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique. Offered at Whole Family Chiropractors, it’s performed with stainless steel instruments that break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions, reducing pain and restoring your function.
Reducing the Effects of Trauma
When connective tissues such as muscles, ligaments, or tendons become restricted or scarred, it can result in pain, tenderness, and loss of flexibility and motion. It’s not unusual to find a restriction in one or more parts of the body that are producing pain and dysfunction in another area of the body. These restrictions can occur after direct trauma to the body, such as a car accident or sports injury, or from repetitive stress on the body over time.
This technology is being used by U.S. Track and Field, professional and college sports teams, and in hospitals and clinics. The Graston Technique® decreases your length of treatment, provides faster rehabilitation and recovery, reduces the need for anti-inflammatory medication, and helps in relieving chronic conditions once thought to be permanent.
Deep Healing for Many Complaints
At Whole Family Chiropractors, we have seen how this approach offers a deeper tissue solution for fibrous adhesions and scar tissue than traditional massage can provide.
