Muscle scar tissue forms in three phases: injury and inflammation, formation of fibrous tissue, and healing. Scar tissue is permanent and can be caused by direct injury, repetitive use, or surgery. Physical therapy can help reduce scar tissue.
Muscle scar tissue can be caused by a variety of different factors, but no matter how the injury occurs, they form through a series of three steps. Blunt trauma to the muscle can lead to fibrous tissue formation, as well as repetitive use injury and surgery when performed. Fibrous tissues form a network around the injured area in an attempt to support the muscle as it heals itself. The three phase process begins with the injury and inflammation of the muscle, then the repair phase where the network forms around the adhesion and then the final phase is the healing process that the body will go through to bring the muscle back to normal usage levels. During the second stage of this medical process, scar tissue will begin to form and, as the body heals, it will turn into permanent scar tissue.
The first stage of muscle scar tissue formation begins with the injury or inflammation. This can be caused by a direct injury to the muscle, causing it to tear or tear. It can also be caused by repetitive use that weakens them until they injure, and the last way to injure a muscle is after surgery. In all three of these cases the muscle will tear or tear, resulting in a spot within the body that needs to be protected and repaired immediately.
Once the injury has occurred and the inflammation begins, the body will replace the damaged cells with fibrous tissue and collagen. The fibrous tissue forms into a mesh-like latticework that stretches across the width and length of the injured muscle to support and protect it. This network, together with collagen, is used to effectively replace damaged cells within the muscle until they can be healed properly. These dead cells, commonly called adhesions, lack oxygen which forms in muscle scar tissue.
With the repair phase completed, the muscles will begin to heal themselves in an attempt to return to pre-injury levels of use. Muscle scar tissue usually remains unless resolved through physical therapy and hot or cold treatments, but even then it will be permanent. Therapeutic procedures simply help the muscle gain strength, prevent further injury, and help break up adhesions which will reduce the size and amount of muscle scar tissue that remains after the healing process is complete.
