The owner of Kwait Chiropractic in the San Francisco Bay Area, Joe Kwait, DC, offers treatment to return patients to optimal wellness and active lifestyles. Among the advanced treatments Dr. Joe Kwait provides is the instrument-assisted Graston Technique.
This chiropractic modality employs the use of stainless steel implements to locate and alleviate scar tissue. Associated with everything from improper weightlifting techniques to vehicle accidents, scar tissue can result in limited movement and pain.
Through the Graston Technique, collagen cross-links are broken up and connective tissues stretched and splayed, resulting in the alteration of chronic muscle patterns in ways that encourage improved habitual motion and posture. In addition, volume and rate of blood flow is boosted into problem areas, thereby enhancing the type of cellular activity that promotes healing.
With chiropractic care typically spanning 4-5 weeks, Graston Technique sessions include warm-ups, as well as flexibility exercises and stretches after the treatment.
