Scar Therapy
Scars can be intimidating, come in all shapes and sizes and result from injury, trauma or surgery.
Over time, scars can lead to chronic pain, activating the body's stress response, impaired circulation, fascial injuries, and restricted functional movements. Scar Therapy can improve the look and sensation of your scar, decrease tissue tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain, improving mobility.
No matter the origin, at Connecta Health, we can address the common complaints that result from scarring.

Neck, shoulder and back pain
Altered sensation (numbness, tingling or hypersensitivity)

Benefits
Scar Release Therapy (SRT) addresses both chronic pain and dermal scarring that occurs post-trauma or surgery through the use of Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS). Applying brief and concentrated DC-current impulses, MPS targets specific treatment points along scar tissue by targeting direct cellular stimulation of microcurrent waves. This simple procedure releases the tense scar contracture, which reduces pain, dermal trauma, adhesions and fascial restrictions. We also incorporate cupping, taping, or other treatments as part of the Scar Release Therapy offered at Connecta Health.
Scar Therapy can improve the look and sensation of your scar, decrease tissue tightness, increase blood flow, improve mobility and reduce pain.
