Dr. Rick Rosa Treats Patient with The Graston Technique |
The Graston Technique for Low Back Pain
Most of the back is comprised of muscles, ligaments, tendons,
and bones. Often times, injuries to the soft tissue play a significant role in the pain and
dysfunction associated with back pain. Graston is a form of manual therapy that comprises of soft tissue mobilization
that incorporates the use of stainless-steel instruments.
The Graston Tool is Rubbed against the Patient’s Spine to Break Down Scar Tissue
The chiropractor will rub the graston tool against the
patient’s lumbar spine soft tissue,
using very specific methods. The goal of the therapy is to
separate and break down the scar tissue, as well as stretch connective tissue and muscle fibers. The
graston technique also helps increase blood flow to and from the site of injury. This allows the low back
soft tissue to relax and helps to ease the pain.
