Don't let aches and pains prevent you from exercising and losing weight. Performance Plus Rehabilitaiton Center is now offering a new, non-invasive, non-surgical technique that effectively treats soft tissue pain. The Graston technique complements our tradtional Chiropractic and Physical Therapy care. Dr. Becky Wells, a Doctor of Chiropractic with Performance Plus is certified in the Graston Technique.
The symptoms we treat using the Graston Technique are Scar Tissue, Plantar Facitis, Tennis Elbow, Golf Elbow and Carpal Tunnel, just to name a few. The Technique is successful in effectively treating all soft tissue conditions, whether they are chronic or acute and post surgical. The Graston Technique offers many advantages to the patients such as: decreases overall time of treatment, fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery, reduces need for anti-inflammatory medications, and resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent.
The Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
The St. Joseph Newspress recently printed a story on Dr.Wells which showed her administering the technique on a patient. The article was printed Tuesday, November 29th 2011 in the Life Section. To the patient, this non-invasive technique will feel like a deep tissue massage, but completed in about five minutes. According to Dr. Wells, the number of treatments needed will depend on the patient and type of injury. The overall results to the patient will be less pain and inflammation.
