Graston technique

Breaking Down Scar Tissue That Won't Budge

The Graston Technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of scar tissue and fascial restriction that hands alone can't fully address. It's one of the most effective tools available for chronic soft tissue injuries.

How It Works

Dr. Duchene uses the instruments to scan the tissue, identify restrictions, and apply targeted pressure to break down fibrotic adhesions. The process stimulates healing by increasing blood flow, triggering the body's natural tissue remodeling response.

What It's Used For

Graston works particularly well for conditions with scar tissue or chronic inflammation — tendinitis, rotator cuff injuries, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, tennis and golfer's elbow, and chronic neck or back tightness that hasn't responded to other treatments.

Does It Hurt?

It can be uncomfortable during treatment, particularly on areas with significant restriction. Most patients experience some temporary soreness afterward — similar to a deep tissue massage. The discomfort decreases as treatment progresses and tissue quality improves.

Faster Healing for Stubborn Injuries

If you've been dealing with a soft tissue injury that just won't fully heal, Graston is often the missing piece. It accelerates the tissue remodeling process in a way that rest and stretching alone simply can't replicate.

Get That Injury Behind You

Chronic soft tissue problems respond extremely well to Graston when combined with chiropractic care and proper rehab. Let's get you moving without restriction again.
