Graston Technique

Columbia Integrated Health Centre is proud to offer an instrument assisted soft tissue technique that effectively breaks down scar tissue, reduces inflammation and pain, and restores restricted mobility.

Graston Technique is used by the chiropractors and physical therapist of the clinic.  The technique involves using stainless steel instruments to comb over and "catch" on fibrotic tissue, which immediately identifies areas of restriction.  The instruments enable clinicians to treat soft tissue lesions with the depth, pressure and specificity necessary to affect the condition at the site of the pain, as well as following the kinetic chain to find and treat the cause.  Once the tissue dysfunction has been identified, the instruments break up the scar tissue so it can be absorbed by the body.
