Graston Technique/Myofascial Therapy

The Graston Technique is a highly effective therapy that uses specialized instruments to mobilize and treat soft tissue. This technique is popular for its ability to provide significant relief by breaking down scar tissue and addressing fascial restrictions caused by trauma, such as strained muscles or pulled tendons. Graston Technique also helps to elongate connective tissue, effectively improving its structure and function, ultimately enhancing mobility and reducing pain.

Common Reasons to Seek Graston Therapy:

• Sports injuries

• Rotator cuff injuries

• Tendinitis

• Knee pain

• Shoulder pain

• Tennis elbow

• Neck and low back pain

• Heel spurs

• Overuse syndromes

• Postural misalignment

• Ankle sprains

• Bursitis

• Muscle strains

• Post-surgical rehabilitation

If you’re curious about the benefits of myofascial therapy, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’d love to discuss how Graston Technique can help you recover and feel better.

Rocktape/Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Tape is a groundbreaking solution in sports medicine, designed to treat and prevent common sports injuries such as ITBS, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, and more. Ultra-light and highly elastic, KT Tape provides pain relief, stability, and support while promoting faster recovery without compromising comfort or freedom of movement.

Kinesio taping is widely used in sports performance, pain management, and physical therapy to support the body’s natural healing process. It facilitates muscle and joint stability while allowing for a full range of motion. Our goal is to stabilize the injury site and help athletes return to their activities as quickly as possible.

Acoustic Compression Therapy

​​​​​​​MyACT Concept With PiezoWave

Myofascial Acoustic Compression Therapy (MyACT) uses acoustic waves to target muscles, tendons, and joints at varying depths. This treatment compresses and manipulates tissues, resulting in a focused, deep tissue massage that increases circulation and alleviates pain—key components in the healing process.

Patient Guided Pain Relief

The source of pain is not always located where the pain is felt. This phenomenon, known as referred pain, can make treatment challenging. PiezoWave can help identify the origin of this pain by using focused acoustic waves to pinpoint and treat problem areas. Patient feedback during treatment helps guide the healthcare professional in delivering precise care.

Reasons to Seek Out Piezo wave:

• Sports injuries

• Rotator cuff injuries

• Tendinitis

• Knee pain

• Shoulder pain

• Tennis elbow

• Neck and low back pain

• Heel spurs

• Ankle sprains

• Post-surgical scar rehabilitation

Acupuncture/Dry Needling

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture works on the principle that the body’s natural energy flow must be balanced to maintain health. When energy is blocked, illness and pain can result. Acupuncture releases these blockages, alleviates pain, and enhances sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.

At our office, we utilize AcuGraph, an advanced tool that helps enhance acupuncture treatments by providing real-time insight into your meridian energetics. AcuGraph measures electrical skin resistance at acupuncture points, offering objective data to guide treatment.

After completing an AcuGraph exam, we can proceed with acupuncture (using needles) or acupressure (using lasers) to restore balance and alleviate discomfort.
