Scar Pain & Scar Tissue Release Therapy in Arlington Heights

Scar Pain & Scar Tissue Release Therapy at Northwest Wellness Group in Arlington Heights: Break Free from Scar-Related Pain and Movement Restrictions

Scar tissue is more than a cosmetic concern—it can cause chronic pain, limit mobility, and disrupt nerve function. Whether your scar is from surgery, injury, or trauma, untreated adhesions can lead to tightness, discomfort, and long-term movement restrictions.

At Northwest Wellness Group, we provide specialized scar tissue release therapy to help you regain movement, relieve pain, and restore function. Our hands-on approach focuses on breaking down adhesions, improving circulation, and allowing your body to heal properly.

How Scar Tissue Affects Your Body

When scar tissue forms, it binds muscles, fascia, and nerves together in unnatural ways, creating restrictions that can lead to long-term discomfort and mobility issues. Over time, this can result in chronic pain and stiffness that worsens with movement, making everyday activities more challenging.

Scar tissue can also reduce flexibility and mobility in surrounding joints and muscles, limiting your range of motion. In some cases, trapped or compressed nerves may cause irritation, numbness, or tingling sensations. As the body compensates for these restricted areas, postural imbalances can develop, further straining muscles and joints. Additionally, deeper internal adhesions can lead to persistent discomfort that is difficult to pinpoint.

If left untreated, these issues can make exercise painful, interfere with daily activities, and contribute to long-term dysfunction. Scar tissue therapy works to soften adhesions, restore balance, and improve overall function, helping you move more freely and comfortably.

Targeted Scar Tissue Release for Lasting Relief

At Northwest Wellness Group, we use a comprehensive, hands-on approach to restore movement and reduce pain. Our therapy sessions may include:

  • Manual Scar Release Therapy – Breaks up adhesions and restores soft tissue mobility.
  • Myofascial & Visceral Manipulation – Addresses deep tissue restrictions affecting movement.
  • Micro-Current Point Stimulation (MPS) – Enhances circulation and speeds healing.
  • Therapeutic Movement & Stretching – Strengthens and retrains surrounding muscles.

Each treatment plan is customized to your specific scar type, location, and functional goals.

The Benefits of Scar Tissue Therapy
  • Immediate Pain Relief & Restored Mobility – Feel looser, more flexible, and pain-free.
  • Faster Post-Surgical Recovery – Reduce tightness and improve movement sooner.
  • Nerve Pain Reduction – Ease tingling, numbness, or sensitivity caused by scar adhesions.
  • Improved Circulation & Healing – Enhance blood flow for better tissue repair.
  • Long-Term Functional Improvements – Prevent further restrictions and discomfort.

Many patients notice relief within the first few sessions, with continued improvements over time.

My experience with Northwest Wellness Group was great! From the reception staff who were so kind and eager to help me get scheduled sooner than they initially had available. They were always so welcoming when I would come for my appointments. Then Dr. Deanna Jones was so knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. She always had a solution for any ailment I brought to her every appointment. She was so easy to talk with and normalized all of my concerns. I highly recommend this group!

I worked with Ginny for about eight weeks. She really helped me understand my body so that the therapy was successful. Ginny has wonderful interpersonal skills and I felt very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend her as your physical therapist.
