The Graston Technique is an exciting and remarkably effective option for alleviating conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

Documented evidence has shown that the Graston Technique is successful for 70 to 90 percent of the patients treated with it, many of whom have already had conventional treatments or prior hand surgery that was unsuccessful. In most cases, this revolutionary treatment does not involve any reduced activity or lost time on the job, which means the Graston Technique can significantly reduce the high cost of workers compensation claims and lost productivity. The technique reduces the need for splints, braces and job-site modifications. It also contributes to the reduction of labor and healthcare costs.

The Graston Technique was researched at Ball State University and Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Indiana, and granted FDA clearance for soft tissue mobilization. Using specially designed, non-invasive instruments, the method allows trained therapists to help patients improve or eliminate symptoms such as pain, numbness and decreased function.

Some of the conditions that have achieved better outcomes with the Graston Technique include:

• Neck pain (cervical sprain/strain)
• Back pain (lumbar sprain/strain)
• Wrist pain (carpal tunnel syndrome)
• Foot pain (plantar fasciitis)
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
• Shoulder pain (rotator cuff tendonitis)
• Knee pain (patellofemoral disorders)
• Ankle pain (Achilles tendonitis)
• Fibromyalgia
• Scar tissue
• Shin splints
• Trigger finger

The Graston Technique has already brought relief to thousands who have suffered work-related and non-work-related injuries, including athletes from such notable organizations as the Chicago Bulls, Indiana University and the University of Michiana.
