Scar Tissue Holding You Back? We Can Help.
Scars tell a story, but they shouldn’t limit how you move or feel. If you have tight, painful, or overly sensitive scar tissue, it could be restricting your range of motion, causing pain, and preventing your body from moving freely. At Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Inc. in Richmond, VA, we specialize in advanced treatments like dry needling to help you regain comfort and mobility.
Do you have scars on your body?
Do you know that scars may:
Limit range of motion
Be extra sensitive to touch
Contribute to pain
Limited range of motion or flexibility of scars can affect how your body moves and contribute to pain levels. Imagine that you have been duct taped around a scar—the skin and surrounding tissues are no longer gliding. You might feel like you have been “glued down” around a scar, or it may be constantly tender to light touch or even your clothing.
