Holistic Chiropractic Treatment
Combining Dry Needling, Graston Technique, and Chiropractic Adjustments for Comprehensive Wellness
At Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic, we believe that true wellness comes from treating the whole body, not just isolated symptoms. Dr. Drew Hunt and our team take a holistic approach to chiropractic care, combining multiple effective therapies to address the underlying causes of pain, dysfunction, and limited mobility. By integrating dry needling, the Graston Technique, and chiropractic adjustments into a single, cohesive treatment plan, we provide our patients with powerful, lasting relief that supports full-body health.
What is Holistic Chiropractic Care?
Holistic chiropractic care is an approach that looks at the body as an interconnected system. Rather than treating symptoms alone, it focuses on finding and addressing the root causes of pain or dysfunction. By using multiple therapeutic methods, we can achieve deeper, more lasting results that promote long-term wellness.
Each technique we use—dry needling, the Graston Technique, and chiropractic adjustments—brings unique benefits. When combined, these therapies work together to support natural healing, relieve pain, and improve overall movement and function.
The Three Pillars of Holistic Chiropractic Care at Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic
1. Dry Needling: Releasing Tension and Trigger Points
Dry needling is a technique that targets trigger points—tight, sensitive knots within the muscles that can cause pain, restrict movement, and lead to imbalances. By inserting thin needles into these trigger points, Dr. Hunt stimulates muscle relaxation, improves circulation, and promotes healing.
Dry needling is particularly effective for patients dealing with muscle tightness, chronic pain, or sports-related injuries. It works synergistically with chiropractic adjustments by releasing tight muscles that may be pulling joints out of alignment or causing strain.
Benefits of Dry Needling:
Reduces muscle tension and relieves trigger points
Increases blood flow to targeted areas, supporting faster healing
Enhances the effects of chiropractic adjustments by relaxing surrounding muscles
Provides relief for chronic muscle pain and tightness
2. The Graston Technique: Breaking Down Scar Tissue and Adhesions
The Graston Technique is an instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy that addresses adhesions and scar tissue in muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Using specialized stainless-steel tools, Dr. Hunt identifies and treats areas of restriction, breaking down scar tissue to restore mobility and reduce pain.
The Graston Technique is especially useful for patients recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic soft tissue pain. It complements chiropractic adjustments by addressing soft tissue restrictions that may be impacting joint function or causing discomfort, allowing for more effective alignment and movement.
Benefits of the Graston Technique:
Breaks down scar tissue and adhesions that restrict movement
Improves flexibility and mobility in injured or tight areas
Reduces chronic soft tissue pain
Enhances the effects of other therapies by addressing soft tissue dysfunctions
3. Chiropractic Adjustments: Realigning the Spine and Joints
Chiropractic adjustments are the foundation of our holistic approach. When joints, especially those in the spine, become restricted or misaligned due to poor posture, injury, or daily wear and tear, they can cause pain, reduce mobility, and interfere with the body’s natural function.
Through precise chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Hunt helps restore proper alignment, allowing joints to move freely and promoting better nerve communication throughout the body. These adjustments relieve tension, improve range of motion, and support overall spinal health, creating a strong foundation for additional therapies.
Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments:
Restores proper alignment and improves joint mobility
Reduces pain caused by misalignments or restricted joints
Supports the body’s natural healing processes
Creates a stable foundation for soft tissue therapies
How Holistic Chiropractic Care Works Together
When combined, these three therapies provide a comprehensive approach to pain relief, recovery, and wellness. Here’s how they work together to support your body’s optimal health:
Relieving Muscular Tension with Dry Needling: Dry needling targets muscles around joints and the spine, releasing tension and allowing for greater freedom of movement.
Enhancing Mobility with the Graston Technique: The Graston Technique breaks down scar tissue and adhesions, allowing muscles and joints to move more easily.
Creating a Foundation with Chiropractic Adjustments: Once muscles and soft tissues are relaxed, chiropractic adjustments help ensure joints are properly aligned for pain-free, balanced movement.
Together, these therapies support balanced, pain-free movement and allow the body to function as an integrated whole.
