A tool used with clinical judgment
Graston Technique involves a clinician using a shaped instrument during soft-tissue work. The office lists this approach among its services. The instrument is one part of a clinical decision, rather than a reason to treat every painful area the same way.
Explain your comfort and concerns
Ask which tissue the clinician intends to address and why this approach is being considered. Mention recent injuries, changes in skin condition and medicines during the assessment. You can ask to pause or stop an uncomfortable procedure.
Discuss the next step
Ask about alternatives, expected sensations and what should prompt a follow-up call. Outcomes vary, and a proposed course of care should be discussed in relation to your own examination. Telephone the office to explore an appointment.
