Other treatment techniques include: • Flexion distraction therapy: Distracts and flexes the spine in a gentle rhythmic motion. • Trigger point therapy: Pressure against certain tender points to release trigger points. • Percurssion therapy: Vibration on the muscle to decrease spasm and tightness. • Soft tissue mobilization aka Graston technique: Instrument designed to work on soft tissues (e.g., scar tissue, myofascial adhesion.) • Physiotherapy modalities such as electrical muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, etc. • Therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles.
