Scar Tissue Treatment at The Disc Chiropractic

Understanding Scar Tissue

Scar tissue forms as part of the body’s natural healing process after an injury, surgery, or trauma. While it is a normal part of healing, scar tissue can sometimes cause pain and limit mobility, particularly when it forms around muscles, tendons, or ligaments.

Symptoms of Scar Tissue

  • Localized pain or discomfort
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Swelling or inflammation
  • Visible thickening or hardening of the skin

Possible Causes of Scar Tissue

  • Surgical procedures
  • Injuries or trauma
  • Repetitive strain or overuse
  • Inflammatory conditions

Shockwave Therapy Treatment
for Scar Tissue

At The Disc Chiropractic, we offer advanced shockwave therapy treatment to effectively manage and alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by scar tissue. Our state-of-the-art Intelect® RPW 2 technology targets the affected areas with precision, promoting healing and improving mobility.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy

Pain Reduction: Shockwave therapy helps in breaking down scar tissue, leading to significant pain relief.

Enhanced Healing: The therapy stimulates blood flow and collagen production, accelerating the body’s natural healing processes.

Non-Invasive: This therapy offers a safe alternative to surgery with minimal side effects and downtime.

How Shockwave Therapy Works

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to target scar tissue. The treatment helps in increasing blood flow, breaking down adhesions, and promoting tissue regeneration. Our Intelect® RPW 2 technology ensures deeper and more effective treatment, addressing the root cause of pain and mobility issues.

What to Expect During Shockwave Therapy

A typical shockwave therapy session lasts between 5 to 10 minutes. Patients may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation on the treated area. Most patients require 3 to 12 sessions for optimal results, with treatments spaced about a week apart.

FAQs About Scar Tissue

What Does Scar Tissue Look Like?

Scar tissue often appears as a thick, fibrous area of skin that can be either lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. It may be raised, flat, or indented and sometimes has a shiny appearance. The texture is usually different from the normal skin around it.
Will Scar Tissue Cause Pain?
Scar tissue can cause pain, particularly if it forms around nerves or in areas with frequent movement. It may also lead to stiffness, restricted motion, and discomfort due to its dense and less flexible nature compared to normal tissue.
Will Scar Tissue Go Away?
Scar tissue does not completely go away but can become less noticeable over time. Various treatments, including shockwave therapy, can help improve its appearance and reduce associated symptoms by breaking down dense fibrous tissue and promoting collagen production and blood flow.
Can Scar Tissue Be Removed?
Complete removal of scar tissue is challenging, but its appearance can be minimized and function improved through methods such as surgery, laser treatments, and shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy, in particular, is non-invasive and helps reduce pain, improve flexibility, and promote tissue regeneration by using acoustic waves to stimulate healing.
What is Scar Tissue Made Of?
Scar tissue is made of collagen fibers, produced by the body during the healing process. Unlike normal tissue, the collagen fibers in scar tissue are densely packed and arranged irregularly, making it less flexible and more fibrous.
Can Scar Tissue Grow?
Scar tissue can increase in size if it continues to be irritated or if additional injury occurs in the same area. Conditions like keloids or hypertrophic scars can cause excessive growth of scar tissue. Shockwave therapy can help manage and reduce the growth of scar tissue by promoting a more organized and functional healing process.
