Doctors are not thinking about scar tissue and its impact before, during or after surgical procedures. So long as there’s no infection and they didn’t leave anything inside of you during surgery, the doctor’s job is done. Historically scar tissue has been ignored or even viewed as having no consequence by the medical world. Recognizing this is the key to unlocking mysterious pain and other issues that have been interfering with the body’s ability to function and balance. The truth of the matter is scars, and the restrictions they cause can affect every system of the body. Most people are aware of how scars impact the physical appearance of the body but most fail to recognize how scars impact their body internally. Six out of ten women who come into my practice who had a c-section do not consider their c-section a surgical procedure. For these people, the scars are so forgotten they don’t even get listed on medical history forms. To some people, scars are trophies or war wounds to be proud of (there are even Facebook pages of people showing off their scars), but for others, scar tissue is a source of physical pain or a reminder of traumas that they wish to forget.Īnd for others, they are something they have already forgotten and are unaware of how it is affecting their body.
