As we get older, years of mechanical stress can lead to the deterioration of joints, ligaments, and tendons. This degenerative process, more commonly known as arthritis, primarily affects the weight-bearing joints in the body such as the hips and knees and those found in the lumbar spine. The shoulder, too, is also prone to undergo arthritic changes due to its extreme mobility. The extensive range of motion at the shoulder is built-in to the design of this structure, but the sacrifice for this is major instability.
Chronic injuries require rehabilitation programs that cater for the specific needs of the injury and a long-term approach. Patience is required for these rehabilitation programs and it is essential to remember that the problem has developed over a period of years and will not be fixed in a matter of weeks or months. Progress should be reached in the short-term, but such situations usually require consistent, ongoing attention to achieve the long-term solution.
Applying the appropriate rehabilitation program to chronic injuries is critically important and chiropractic care can be of great assistance in achieving the maximum rewards from a rehabilitation program. By enabling the maximum mobility of the spine and maximum function of your nerve system, regular chiropractic care is able to help maximize your body’s ability to recover from chronic injury. The strategic goal is to not only restore function but to revitalize the health of the entire body.

Engaging in an overall strength training program is an important approach to managing chronic pain. Strength training should be completed progressively, starting with lighter weights and progressing to heavier weights over time. If a person has experienced an acute injury, early rehabilitation should precede rehabilitative strength training.

Living a full out lifestyle of a career life stylist, as a weekend warrior, or professional athlete is challenging when an injury has occurred. We mask and push through the pain as long as possible. Most often we listen to our bodies only when the pain becomes to much to bear and that our range of motion has been compromised.
One body sign that chiropractors and their expert offices are seeing more often is the rise in the occurrence of scar tissue in patients at an earlier age. An advantage is that the areas that are affected are able to be treated earlier and non-surgically.
Understanding Scar Tissue
Scar tissue is the body’s natural reaction to injury, no matter how small or slight. Everyday actions that most people wouldn’t regard as an injury create scar tissue. Everyone will develop scar tissue at some point in their life. Repetitive motions lead to micro-trauma and as part of the body’s healing system, scar tissue is produced. However, scar tissue interferes with the range of motion and the smooth movement of muscle.
When you experience a tightness or an inability to move a joint in a fluid manner, you are experiencing a build up of scar tissue. The soft tissues in our body are made up of collagen, when an injury occurs there are small tears or kinks in the collagen. These tears create scar tissue and in an ideal situation normal tissue replaces this scar tissue, but this doesn’t always happen.
What are “Trigger Points”?
Stiffness and reductions in strength are caused by small bits of scar tissue that bind tissue around them, these are called adhesions. Trigger points are created when a nerve becomes trapped in these adhesions, this is usually where pain can radiate from. Painful movements result in a reduction of activity, which in turn leads to a further reduction in the range of motion. Due to the fact that scar tissue is less flexible, has less circulation and is less elastic than normal tissue, the muscles become weaker and shorten. It is vital that these scar tissue adhesions are removed in order to reduce pain and restore the strength and proper range of motion.
There are many therapies that can be used to to break up the scar tissue and release the trapped nerves. These therapies include ART (Active Release Technique), Graston Technique and Myofascial Release. Many chiropractors use these techniques to help release the nerves and stop the radiating pain. The Graston Technique uses different steel instruments to break up the scar tissue, whereas ART and Myofascial Release are a more hands-on approach.
Chiropractors Can Help!
Most chiropractors will include one or more of these therapies to help their patients regain strength and range of motion. Along with chiropractic adjustments these therapies can be extremely useful in the treatment of scar tissue, trapped nerves and radiating pain. Just ask your chiropractor if they offer any of these treatments and see how they can help to relieve the pain you’re experiencing.
