Understanding Scar Tissue
Scar tissue forms as part of the natural healing process after an injury or surgery. While it is a normal response, excessive scar tissue can lead to stiffness, pain, and limited mobility, particularly affecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Effective
management is crucial to ensure that scar tissue supports rather than hinders recovery.

FAQs About Scar Tissue Management
Early intervention is key to preventing excessive scar tissue buildup. It is often recommended to start treatment once the initial wound has healed.
While some scar tissue is permanent, treatment can significantly reduce its thickness and the discomfort associated with it, improving overall function.
Some discomfort may be experienced during treatment, particularly with manual therapy techniques, but this is typically mild and temporary.
Many health insurance plans cover therapies for scar tissue management, especially
when it impedes normal function. We recommend consulting with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
