Dr. Graham Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?

Ask most San Francisco residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.

Is average normal or is normal average?

Every chiropractor knows that so-called "normal" is merely an average. What's normal for you may not be normal for anyone else. So the chiropractic approach to better health is to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each of our San Francisco patients.

Modified Graston Technique

Dr. Graham provides patients with an innovative and proven approach to the diagnosis and treatment of connective soft tissue injuries called Modified Graston Technique. The Modified Technique is performed with a stainless-steel instrument designed to detect and treat soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation in order to reduce pain and restore function.

When connective tissue, such as muscle, ligaments or tendons become restricted or scarred, it can result in pain, tenderness, loss of flexibility and motion. It is not unusual to find a restriction in one part of the body that produces pain and dysfunction in another area, commonly known as the kinetic chain.

Hospitals, clinics, professional and university sports teams as well as industry rely on Graston Technique for the treatment of injuries.

Treatment by Modified Graston Technique

Modified Graston Technique treatment protocols may also include the use of heat, ice and rehabilitation to restore patients to their pre-injury level of activity. Muscle re-education, in addition to stretching and strengthening exercises are employed to provide the patient with optimal results within a minimal number of treatments. Following and staying with the plan of treatment is critical to achieving the clinical goals set by the clinician and the patient. Without full commitment to treatment, a positive outcome may not occur.
