Discover How We Treat Scar Tissue & Fascia
Let's Talk About Scars And Fascia:
A Better Understanding Of Scar Tissue & Fascia
An important function of fasciae is to reduce friction. It provides a supportive and movable wrapping for nerves and blood vessels as they pass through and between muscles. Fascial tissues are frequently innervated by sensory nerve endings.
Fascia holds our skin to our body, it is a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs. Fascia is very dense, wrapping and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain, and spinal cord.
When our fascia becomes damaged by trauma, surgery or injuries, be they intentionally or unplanned, scar tissue and adhesions develop. This scar tissue can spread in any direction and reach deep into our bodies and restrict how our joints move and our organs function. These restrictions can cause so much abnormal strain (or fascial drag mentioned above) on the body that bones are stressed or pulled out of their natural alignment. This can trigger joint compression, pain, and dysfunction. Nerves, veins, and arteries can become trapped, which prompts neurological issues and restricted blood flow. Scar tissue that crosses the meridians or blocking the flow of the body’s natural energy system.
The body forms scar tissue as a natural response to trauma. When the skin is punctured or lacerated, collagen is laid down in a random, haphazard way which results in a thickened, fibrous mass which impedes the proper circulation of blood and congests lymph flow. As a result of the rapid repair process, the scar tissue is not as flexible as healthy tissue, not structured in the same way and does not have a normal blood supply, sweat glands, or hair. Scar tissue is extremely effective at helping protect and repair, but the functionality and elasticity of it are different from the surrounding tissue.
The damage to delicate nerve tissue often results in areas that are numb or lack feeling, while other areas are hypersensitive. While scar tissue contains the same materials as normal tissue, the quality of the scar tissue is inferior to that of the tissue it replaces. It is very important to understand that the scar you can see is only the tip of the iceberg. All surgeries involve multiple layers of sutures and go much deeper than what we see on the surface.
