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.
