Graston Technique in Algoma, WI
At Lighthouse Chiropractic, we use Graston Technique — a cutting-edge instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy — to break down scar tissue and adhesions that limit your movement and cause chronic pain.
Your body holds onto past injuries. Graston Technique helps release what's been holding you back — so you can move freely again.
Graston Technique is an evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) that uses specially designed stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and chronic inflammation. Originally developed for elite athletes, it has become one of the most effective therapies for anyone dealing with soft tissue pain and dysfunction.
Dr. Amber Vanden Avond is Graston Technique certified and uses these precision instruments to identify areas where scar tissue has formed, then applies controlled pressure to break down adhesions, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body's natural healing response. The result? Better range of motion, less pain, and faster recovery.
While the treatment involves some therapeutic discomfort (patients often describe it as 'hurts so good'), the results speak for themselves. Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, with reduced pain and significantly improved movement.
Real Results. Real Relief.
