Graston Technique in Denver, CO

Advanced Soft Tissue Therapy for Pain Relief

Tired of chronic muscle tightness, tendon pain, or movement restrictions that don’t go away with stretching or massage?

The Graston Technique offers a powerful solution — and at Buffalo Spine Sports Chiropractic in Denver, CO, Dr. Mac uses it to help active individuals recover faster, move better, and live pain-free.

Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or someone recovering from a repetitive strain injury, Graston Technique therapy can address the root cause of soft tissue dysfunction and restore optimal function.

Conditions Treated with the Graston Technique

Graston Technique is clinically proven to treat a wide range of acute and chronic soft tissue conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Shin splints

  • Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Achilles tendinopathy

  • Scar tissue from past injuries or surgeries

This technique is also incredibly effective for repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and chronic tightness that doesn’t respond to stretching or massage alone.

  • Trigger points and muscle knots

  • IT band syndrome

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Hip flexor and gluteal tightness

  • Postural dysfunction / desk-related pain

How It Works:

Breaking Down Scar Tissue & Restoring Function

Using the Graston instruments, Dr. Mac is able to detect and disrupt these adhesions, stimulating a localized healing response:

  • Increased blood flow

  • Improved lymphatic drainage

  • Re-alignment of collagen fibers

  • Long-term restoration of tissue integrity

When muscles, tendons, or ligaments experience overuse or trauma, the body forms scar tissue as a part of the healing process. Over time, this leads to:

  • Stiffness

  • Decreased circulation

  • Pain with movement

  • Limited flexibility

How many sessions will I need?

Is Graston the same as Gua Sha?

While both use instruments, Graston is a clinical, evidence-based approach designed for soft tissue rehabilitation with precision tools.

Mild bruising is possible in areas with a lot of scar tissue, but it resolves quickly and indicates a positive circulatory response.
