The Naperville Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Naperville

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique utilizes a set of stainless steel instruments that are drawn over your skin to reduce underlying scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Since many long-standing spinal problems produce inflammation, muscle changes and fibrotic scar tissue, this approach is helpful in creating significant, long-term changes to soft tissues throughout your body.

Graston Instrument

Our Instruments

The hand instruments we use allow a deeper, more sensitive palpation and treatment of restricted tissues. Since the metal instruments do not compress like the fat pads of the fingers, deeper restrictions can be accessed and resolved. Plus, their concave/convex shapes mold to the various contours of your body for greater comfort and effectiveness.

Patient Satisfaction

Originally developed for the treatment of athletic injuries, patients report excellent results with both acute and chronic soft tissue injuries:

• Decreased recovery time
• Reduces need for medications
• Resolves long-standing conditions

As we pull our instruments across adhesions and scar tissue, patients report a temporary tightening, then a pleasant sense of release. Repeated visits help resolve these areas of scar tissue and improved muscle tone can be restored.

Dr. Richard Asks some important questions of interest to Naperville residents - Chiropractor Naperville Dr. Richard Asks...

Where do most Naperville residents get their first vertebral subluxation complex?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation complex. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Naperville newborn.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Naperville practice members find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
