Cutting Edge Chiropractic
Bryan | College Station Chiropractor
At Cutting Edge Chiropractic, we offer advanced soft tissue therapies designed to help patients heal faster, move better, and get back to doing what they love. One of our most effective treatment options is Graston Technique® Therapy, a specialized form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization used to detect and treat scar tissue, fascial restrictions, chronic tightness, and soft tissue dysfunction.
Graston Technique uses specially designed stainless-steel instruments that allow your provider to precisely locate areas of tissue restriction, adhesions, inflammation, and abnormal movement patterns that may be contributing to pain or limited function. Once identified, these areas are treated to help stimulate healing, improve mobility, and restore healthy tissue movement.

Benefits of Graston Technique®

Benefits may include:
- Breaks down scar tissue and fascial adhesions
- Improves blood flow and circulation
- Reduces chronic inflammation
- Increases range of motion
- Decreases muscle tightness and stiffness
- Speeds healing of injured tissue
- Helps reduce pain naturally
- Improves flexibility and movement patterns
- Enhances athletic performance and recovery
- Supports long-term correction instead of temporary relief
Why Graston Works
Over time, injuries, repetitive stress, poor posture, sports activity, or daily wear and tear can create microscopic scar tissue and tissue restrictions. These restrictions can lead to pain, stiffness, weakness, compensation patterns, and recurring injuries.
Graston helps remodel damaged tissue, stimulate the body’s healing response, and restore proper movement in the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
What Does Treatment Feel Like?
During treatment, a specialized instrument is gently moved across the skin to identify and treat restricted areas. Some patients describe the sensation as deep pressure or mild scraping over tight tissue. Treatments are typically brief and targeted, and many patients notice improved mobility shortly after care.
Depending on your condition, Graston is often combined with:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Corrective exercises
- Stretching programs
- SoftWave Therapy
- Spinal decompression
- Recovery modalities
