Graston / ART

At Big Idea Family Chiropractic, we provide patients with an innovative and proven approach to diagnosing and treating muscle and soft-tissue injuries using the Graston Technique®. This advanced therapy is performed by our trained therapists using patented stainless-steel instruments designed to detect and treat soft-tissue restrictions, scar tissue, and chronic muscle dysfunction. The Graston Technique helps break down adhesions, improve mobility, and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. By targeting the underlying cause of pain—not just the symptoms—this treatment can reduce discomfort, restore proper muscle function, and help patients return to daily activities.

Our therapists are highly trained in the Graston Technique®, ensuring safe and effective care. This treatment uses specialized stainless-steel instruments to gently identify and break down scar tissue and soft-tissue restrictions that contribute to pain and limited movement. Most patients report noticeable pain reduction and improved function within the first one to two treatments. While some discomfort may be felt during the initial session, this typically decreases quickly as the tissue begins to heal. Mild to moderate bruising can occur as older scar tissue is addressed—this is a normal part of the healing process. The total number of treatments needed varies based on factors such as age, medical history, occupation, lifestyle, and the severity of the condition. For optimal results, we typically recommend 10 to 12 sessions. Schedule your appointment today and take the first step toward lasting pain relief and improved movement!
