The Graston Technique is a form of Myofascial Release. This is a type of manual soft-tissue therapy that uses special tools with a specific scraping technique on the skin. The treatment is intended to assist in identifying areas of restriction and attempting to break up scar tissue.

Book AppointmentWhat is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial Release is a chiropractic treatment that helps to improve the function of muscles and connective tissues. It does this by lengthening and softening the tissue. Myofascial release may be used for back pain, neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
This is a common option that may help range of motion, flexibility, and strength. Myofascial Release is often used in combination with other chiropractic treatments, such as spinal manipulation and exercise. For many people it is a well-tolerated option.
How does Myofascial Release work?
Myofascial Release Therapy is performed with the hands-on application of gentle, sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to ease pain and improve motion. During treatment, we use a special type of scraping tool that helps to release the fascia. This Myofascial Release technique is also called Graston Technique.
We will find any restrictions in your Myofascial tissue and work to release them by applying the appropriate amount of sustained pressure to the tissue. The goal is to help lengthen and re-align the collagen fibers so that they can resume their normal healthy state.
Myofascial Release treatments are usually gentle and relaxing. You may feel a sense of release and decreased pain in the areas treated. It is not unusual to experience increased range of motion and improved mobility following Myofascial Release therapy. A series of sessions may be used. The exam decides whether to continue.
What does Myofascial Release Therapy Treat?
Myofascial release may help ease tension in these areas:
- Arms and shoulders
- Hips, calves, quads, and feet
- Head, neck, and jaw
- Lower back
Benefits Of Myofascial Release Therapy
A single myofascial release session usually isn’t enough to provide long-term relief. However, receiving myofascial release treatments on a regular basis may have several benefits for your overall health:
- May increase range of motion
- May reduce soreness
- May increase your natural recovery process
- May improve circulation
- May help with overall relaxation
- May ease stress
Myofascial Release Therapy Treatments in Miami Lakes
Myofascial Release is a gentle, low-risk technique that may help people of any age.

If you are dealing with discomfort or pain, myofascial release may be one option. Call 786-931-8333 to book the exam with the chiropractic team in Miami Lakes.
What a myofascial visit is like
The exam comes first. If myofascial release fits, the hands-on part is a portion of the visit, not the whole day. Pressure should feel tolerable, not sharp. Mild soreness is possible afterward. Tell the chiropractor if it is too much, and the session can stop. Call 786-931-8333 to book the $97 new-patient exam.
Who it may not be for
Ask first if you have an open wound, a skin infection, a recent fracture, or if you take blood thinners or bruise easily. The exam screens for those limits, and we refer you when this is not the right office.
How it fits with other care
Myofascial release may sit next to chiropractic care when both are indicated. It may be considered for neck pain, back pain, and shoulder pain when the exam points to tight soft tissue. A MedRay Class 4 laser or radial and focused shockwave therapy is a different tool. The exam decides which, if any, fits.
