Gua Sha

Gua Sha Treatment

Originated in the 1300s in China, gua sha is an ancient healing technique that has proven very effective for soft tissue injuries or pain. Gua means “to scrape or rub” while sha means “reddish, elevated skin rash.”

Using gua sha, our Charlotte chiropractor Dr. Khlebopros uses slightly abrasive, non-invasive implements to create a “rash” on the surface of the skin in order to break down scar tissue that has occurred due to trauma or an injury. The goal is to restore the natural elasticity of the region to help the body heal on its own faster.

Gua sha is particularly effective for athletes or others who are active and want to get back to their routine as soon as possible. It can be used in cases of tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, golfer’s elbow and achilles tendonitis, as well as other soft tissue conditions or injuries.

I sought treatment here because I had a slipped disc with a pinched nerve. … My skepticism went out the window after just a few visits. … I was able to complete my treatments on my lunch break. Now I’m healing and without pain.

Very flexible with scheduling and work with you! Got me in the very next day! Best part is the hours of operation! Open later than everyone else. Got in a car accident and they accepted payment through the at fault drivers insurance.
