The Nervous System is Connected to Scar Healing

     

      Our nervous system is comprised of 2 parts, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system:

​

1. Sympathetic nervous system is often referred to as the fight or flight response and prepares our body for a perceived threat.

2. Parasympathetic nervous system, also known as rest and digest , relaxes our body and maintains balance. 

​

Every cell in our body is controlled by our nervous system. Cells in our body normally communicate and travel freely throughout our body in order to maintain balance.

​

      Scars disrupt  biocellular communication, causing the sympathetic nervous system to become more dominant or unregulated and leads to a reversal of the normal bio electrical state of our tissue. This inhibits healing as healing occurs in the parasympathetic state.

​

​

Untreated Scars

​

     Scars may develop as a result of  many conditions (surgery, injury, stitches, fractures, keloids, childbirth, episiotomy, or infections).  These scars should be treated to maintain tissue mobility, prevent adhesion, and to optimize healing.

 

If untreated, scars lead to nervous system imbalance, tissue tension, a limited range of motion, internal adhesions, and disrupt circulation. Furthermore, leading to dysfunction and pain throughout the body.

 

​

Treatment

​

       At Pelvicore rehab we use Manual Therapy Techniques and the Dolphin Neurostim system (a low amplitude DC microcurrent) that restores the polarity of scar tissue and improves bio cellular communication.

 

      Scar release therapy promotes a balanced nervous system, release of fascial restrictions and internal adhesions and improves circulation. 

 

       Resolving these restrictions can improve range of motion, circulation, decrease pain, and improve overall function. All Scar Tissue needs to be released!
