Scar tissue may be small, but its impact on pain and mobility is anything but. Whether it stems from a visible injury or daily microtraumas, scar tissue can accumulate in muscles, joints, and fascia—leading to stiffness, nerve entrapment, and chronic pain.
What Is Scar Tissue, Really?
Scar tissue forms as your body’s natural response to injury. When collagen fibers in soft tissue become torn or kinked, the body attempts to patch the damage. But instead of restoring smooth, flexible tissue, it often lays down tough, disorganized fibers that restrict motion and cause tightness. This is especially common in active individuals and those who sit for long hours.
Understanding Adhesions and Trigger Points
Adhesions occur when scar tissue binds to surrounding healthy tissue. These adhesions can trap nerves, forming trigger points—localized knots that cause radiating pain, weakness, or limited range of motion. Because scar tissue is less elastic and more poorly circulated than normal tissue, the affected area becomes more prone to injury and inflammation.
How Chiropractors in New Fairfield CT Break Up Scar Tissue
At Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center, we use a range of advanced soft tissue therapies to help break down scar tissue and free entrapped nerves. These may include:
ART (Active Release Technique) – A hands-on approach to isolate and release tissue restrictions
Graston Technique – Specialized steel instruments break up adhesions for deeper tissue release
Myofascial Release – Gentle, sustained pressure to restore flexibility and blood flow
These techniques, combined with chiropractic adjustments, can restore pain-free motion, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing—especially after injury, repetitive strain, or surgery.
