Graston Technique

Break up restrictions. Restore fluid movement.

Graston Technique is a form of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization that uses specialized tools to detect and treat areas of tightness and tissue restriction.

Targeted tissue work that improves mobility

Scar tissue and fascial restrictions limit movement and contribute to chronic tension. Addressing them improves flexibility and comfort.

Common conditions helped:
• Scar tissue build up
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Tennis Elbow
• IT Band Tightness

Restoring joint motion:

• Helps prevent recurring flare ups
• Supports long term strength and resilience

Release the tissue. Reinforce with strength.

Restoring tissue quality and strengthening doesn’t just happen with the Graston Technique alone. We pair it with the following:

• Soft tissue work
• Dry needling
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Kinesiotaping
• At-home rehab

Dr Stef was very thorough and personable in my appointment. She made sure all my concerns were addressed and that I understood what she can do to help me find relief.

I just finished my second treatment session with Dr. Stef at Firefly Chiropractic and I couldn’t be more pleased with her. During the first appointment, she did a thorough and comprehensive assessment and then proceeded to treat me with a variety of different modalities. Prior to that first appointment, I had been incapacitated with low back pain for 5 months. I walked out of that session with amazing relief. I had another great session today and I just am so elated with the relief Dr. Stef’s treatments have afforded me. Five months of pain has been relieved after just two sessions.
Dr. Stef is thorrough and methodical in her treatment approach and she is a great listener. She seems to really care about how I’m doing and she doesn’t rush me through the appointment and out the door.. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone.

Today I arrived with pain on the left side of my neck. After the session with Dr. Cruz, my pain completely disappeared, and with the adjustment, my muscles feel very relaxed. 100% recommended.
