Graston

<p>For years I had been experiencing pain in my lower neck/upper shoulder due to whiplash.  He seemed to think it was a build up of scar tissue and went at me with a Graston knife.  Basically he broke down the scar tissue and now I'm pain free, although at first, it was a painful procedure.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>A couple years ago I had two sessions with a chiro. [hip/lowerback/leg]</p>
<p>HURT LIKE A FRICKIN' MO FO...I was so bruised, that I looked like I'd been in a crash.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I decided it was not worth the pain, so never went back. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/dontknow.gif" style="width:37px;height:15px;" title=""></p>

<p>My chiro has used it on my shins.  Me thinks I am ready to go in for another session.  Ouch.</p>

<p>Hurts like hell but I love it.</p>

<p>Never been to a chiro.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Purple tools or silver ones? Hurts like hell, but WORKS!</p>

<p>Yup.  Hurts like crazy.  Seriously.  Makes me sweat and wince and curse silently (only because there are other people in the room).  But, I guess it's working....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was dealing with calf/achilles problems all summer.  Got ART stuff done and it worked, but only temporarily.  Eventually went to a sports med doc who gave me a script for PT where they would do Graston and the tightness seems to be getting alleviated.  I've been getting it done 2-3x's a week for the past 3+ weeks. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I  can't post a pic from work, but in my blog (link below) there are pics of the bruising I got from it.  Yeouch! </p>

<p>I had Graston done to the base of my skull...I swore he was trying to cleave my head from my body.  I actually find the pain stimulating and leaves me feeling refreshed afterwards.</p>
