🩹 Still in Pain Long After Your Injury Healed? Scar Tissue May Be the Reason

Many people believe that once an injury heals, the pain should go away. But if you’re still feeling tightness, stiffness, or sharp discomfort months after a sprain, strain, surgery, or trauma, the real culprit may be internal scar tissue.

This hidden fibrosis can form beneath the surface and cause:

• Ongoing pain or burning sensations

• Restricted range of motion

• Swelling or inflammation

• Weakness or tightness around the injury site

• Sensitivity to pressure or movement

🧬 What Is Post-Injury Scar Tissue?

After an injury, your body creates collagen to repair damaged tissues. But sometimes, the process goes overboard—forming dense, disorganized fibrotic tissue that binds to fascia, muscles, and nerves.

This type of internal scar tissue can:

• Pull on surrounding structures

• Trap nerves and restrict blood flow

• Limit mobility and cause chronic inflammation

• Be invisible on imaging like X-rays or MRIs

❌ Why Painkillers and PT May Not Work

Conventional treatments like NSAIDs, cortisone shots, or basic physical therapy don’t break down scar tissue. That’s why pain often lingers for months—even years—after the original injury heals.

• Painkillers mask symptoms, but don’t address the root

• Stretching may irritate fibrotic tissue

• Deep massage rarely penetrates dense adhesions

• Surgery can cause more scar tissue in the long term

🔬 What the Research Says

• Jacobs et al. (2023): ASTR reduces post-injury fibrosis and restores function faster than standard care

• Wynn (2008): Chronic inflammation promotes fibrotic tissue growth, causing long-term pain

• Langevin et al. (2006): Fascia plays a key role in chronic pain conditions and must be released for full healing
