🩼 Still in Pain After Surgery? Scar Tissue Might Be to Blame

If you’ve undergone surgery—whether for a joint, spine, abdominal issue, or C-section—and you’re still experiencing pain, stiffness, or tightness months later, you may be dealing with post-surgical scar tissue, also known as fibrosis.

This often-overlooked problem can cause:

• Chronic pain or burning near the incision or deep within

• Restricted movement or stiffness around the joint or area

• Pulling, pressure, or tightness during stretching or activity

• Numbness or tingling if nerves are trapped in scar tissue

🧬 What Is Post-Surgical Scar Tissue?

Scar tissue forms naturally after any surgical procedure, as your body repairs itself. But when too much fibrous tissue builds up—or it heals in disorganized layers—it can bind to fascia, nerves, organs, and muscles, leading to limited mobility and lasting pain.

Common surgeries that lead to problematic scar tissue:

• Orthopedic surgeries (shoulder, knee, spine)

• Abdominal or pelvic surgeries (C-section, hysterectomy, hernia repair)

• Neck and back surgeries (fusions, laminectomies)

❌ Why Most Treatments Don’t Solve the Problem

Conventional approaches rarely address the deep fascial adhesions created by surgery.

• Physical therapy may help strengthen the area, but it often doesn’t release dense scar tissue

• Pain medications mask symptoms without correcting the cause

• Repeat surgeries can lead to more fibrosis, not less

✅ ASTR: A Natural, Effective Way to Break Down Surgical Scar Tissue

Advanced Soft Tissue Release (ASTR) is a patented method developed by Dr. Joseph Jacobs, DPT, after his own battle with chronic scar tissue and post-surgical pain.

ASTR therapy:

• Uses precision-designed tools to detect and release scar tissue

• Breaks down deep fascial adhesions and fibrosis

• Restores mobility and reduces pain without drugs or invasive procedures

📘 Dr. Joseph Jacobs’ Story

Dr. Jacobs developed ASTR after struggling with post-injury and surgical pain himself. When traditional approaches failed, he created a therapy system that heals from the root—now used successfully by patients around the world.
