Graston Technique Treatment for Knee Injury - Sports Medicine Chiropractor in Bozeman, MT

hello !

Just had this done to me and it hurt like hell. It felt as if my skin was being ripped off my leg. I’m not sure how long this is supposed to take to improve healing, but I’ve noticed no difference with my pain

I have patella tendinitis and something similar to this works wonders for me.

This looks like it feels amazing. So much pressure being taken off the knee 👍🏾

This treatment looks awesome.

Like, i need someone to graston my left knee rn... from soccer thats why😯

Can this help heal tendonosis/tendinitis?

I have this treatment weekly, its kinda painful, but it feels awesome after it's done.

Don't know how I ended up here, but, congratulations on your success Dr. John! I went to high school with you and always wondered what you did with yourself. Very nice to see Dr. John.

hello. I had meniscus repair April of 2017. My knee randomly gives out on me as Im walking or even on a ladder at work. when i get up from sitting ot even out of bed my knee is weak and have to stretch it before I can get up and go. Do you think this would work for me?

Hi what's the tool with the 2 curves in it called? It brought up the redness straightaway..

Would this work for interstitial tearing of quad tendon?

Hello, would you suggest the Graston Technique for breaking up scar tissue associated with a quadriceps tendon repair? I had surgery 10 weeks ago and am having some difficulty making gains in ROM. My PT says it is because of the buildup of scar tissue. She mentioned MUA as a possible next step for breaking through that. I would like to avoid that and wonder if the Graston Technique could help. Thanks!

Is this something you can perform on yourself?

can you buy these tools yourself?

There are so many physio therapists who are saying that IASTM doesnt work? what is true now?

i got this but its not big cause it just started hurting

As an adult with life long osgood schlatter knee pain this looks incredible. Every doctor I've been to just brushes it off as a non-issue.

I'm a high school football player and I got "rubbed out" in my school trainers room it was the most pain I've ever felt I too have osgood shlatters (I don't know how to spell it) and it's been a real pain, any other treatment ideas you can recommend?

is there anything for acl injury?

this made me sleepy for some reason.

what kind of pressure is used?

Hello
What is the treatment for hyperextension of the knee joint and what is her main exercise

i have knee problem.. may i know where is ur hospital located?

hey there I do free running and gymnastics and last couple months I have noticed knee pain in my right knee it only hurts when I jump really hard I can still train through the pain but I would realer not in case it gets worse and I warm up before and after and its juring training I feel the pain then when I stop and rest it goes away depending how hard I train and the pain is round my patellar tendon. when i run it doesn't hurt but climbing the stairs jumping and sitting down and straighting my leg I feel mild discomfort. do you think this is serious or would I be able to get it back in shape with strengthing exercises

The patient is taking it like a champ! Had this done several times and the pain is intense but a day later it's like new knees!

I started feeling slight pain and strange feeling in my knee after squats (powerlifting). I don't know what is the reason for that, my technique is solid and I know how to perform a squat. It is making me desperate, because I don't know if I can keep squatting or not, and if I stop and show it to the doctor, if I will ever be able to squat again. Please answer. Thank you.

Military/Combat veterans definitely need this done such as myself.

hi
i'll just ask a question
everytime i fully bend my left knee it hurts ans i feel pain at the back of my knee. is this a serious injury?

As one with bilateral osteoarthritis patellae I find myself flinching just watching this demonstration.

What's the difference between using these expensive tools vs. using the end of a spoon or fork to do this?

can this be done on a broken patella with two pins and wires, 3 months after surgery?

Fascinating.

I came here to get a better understanding of what my favorite football player (Navarro Bowman) is going through.

Hi I am currently suffering with patellar tendonitis and I watched a video on how to use kinesiology tape (if that's the correct term) and I just wondered if I use the tape can I work my legs at the gym and play football (soccer) if I wear the tape?

Would Graston be effective for Plica Syndrome?

What about if the pain is directly above the knee, what could it be?  I have been battling that and not quite sure what is the cause.  I do a lot of HIT, Les Mills Grit training and such.  I have seen a couple of chiropractors but none have solved the pain issue. I only get pain on lunges and squats, sometimes when running but not all the time.

Hello Doctor maybe you can help me. I have been having knee problems for the past 3.5month. I am an amature figure competitor (a devision of bodybuilding), so I am really serious about lifting weight, fitness, nutrition and overall health. Out of the blue my knee started hurting. I have had an MRI and x-rays done. I was told the problem i have right now is a patella tracking disorder. Even trying to do nody weight squats I feel and enormous amount of pressure on my knee cap. Feels like the pain is inside the knee cap in the middle. I have also looked at the MRI images also. Assuming my knee is bent and I amlooking from the top view, my patella is tracking lateral with a slight tilt. The back of the patella is also making contact with my top part of my feamur bone slightly above the trochlear groove (which is quite shallow for me) it seems. I am doing physical therapy right now trying to stabilize every thing and work on my tracking but it seems to be ineffective. I know last resort is getting a lateral release surgery but I am really trying to avoid surgey. Any suggestions or opinions??

Hi, last year, i went to turn and walk and must not have turned my leg and twisted it and sent a sharp pain in my left knee, no swelling noted, but pain in the right side of my knee cap... i could not even bear weight on it for 3 days, on crutches, then was limping for at least a few weeks, now it is 1 year later, still with alot of knee discomfort. My chiro didn't seem to think a torn meniscus...but i am still having discomfort in the knee everyday, will this procedure help??

hi Dr im 5 weeks post op of my patellar tendon rupture, lot of people think don't recover well, and i know most is scar tissue accumulation i educated myself, Dr i want to ask you something very important, besides doing with that stainless tool with a professional, how risky its to do it at home too? i saw someone doing it with a whale  bone, he put aquafour lotion before scraping up and down and on the external scar from surgery, and can i use ultrasound? i want to try my best since my surgery was delay 3 1/2 weeks and i really want that scar tissue remodeling , thanks in advance
