Graston Technique (GT) enables our chiropractor to address scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and range of motion limitations. The non-invasive technique uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to identify and treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

Graston allows Dr. Marino to get as deep into the tissue as necessary to invoke change, yet be sensitive to patient pain and tolerance. He uses the instruments to apply specific forces into the tissue to stimulate the body's own natural healing response. This process will remodel the adhered fibers, restoring motion, and eliminating the pain associated with your injury. Graston Technique therapy will rebuild your soft tissue injury into healthy functioning tissue.

While bruising is not the intent, soreness can occur during treatment. Dr. Marino is trained to recognize the symptoms and adjust treatment intensity to avoid bruising and pain. Graston does not need to be considered "painful" to be effective. Please inform Dr. Marino, if you are experiencing discomfort anytime during treatment.

Patients usually receive two treatments per week during a four-to-five-week period. Most patients have a positive response by the third to fourth treatment.

GT is accepted nationwide by elite athletes and everyday patients as the most effective soft tissue treatment for rehabilitation.
