Do you need a chiropractor in Peckville or the surrounding areas? DePietro Chiropractic and Wellness can provide your needed services. Graston tools are used for soft tissue injuries resulting from injuries at work or in an automobile accident. Both tension and migraine headaches can benefit from this treatment.

Grason Technique

An athlete invented the Graston technique to help recovery time and decrease the amount of scar tissue that results from injuries. Graston tools scrap the soft tissue and feel for fibrotic tissue. Six different tools are used, and depending on the area that requires treatment, our chiropractor will choose the one best suited for you. 

The tools are called GT1-GT6. They are all different, with various lengths and curvatures. They are constructed from stainless steel, and with the correct training, a chiropractor or physical therapist can work the area, increasing blood flow and helping with pain and tissue recovery.

Headache

Tension can cause headaches and is also caused by poor posture. Poor posture can result in myofascial trigger points in the upper back. Using the Graston technique to treat the sore points can relieve headaches caused by these trigger points. ART, or active release technique, has been proven to be an effective treatment for migraines.

Chiropractic care is an excellent option when it comes to headache relief with the use of drugs. Massage therapy can complement release therapy to help relax the neck and upper back muscles. The addition of stretch exercises to the Graston tools has been proven to relieve cervicogenic headaches in a blind controlled study published by the NIH.
