Dr. Graham Asks some important questions of interest to Mill Valley residents - Chiropractor Mill Valley Dr. Graham Asks...

What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Mill Valley chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Modified Graston Technique

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.
