Why would someone seek treatment for a scar? A scar means a wound has healed and there’s nothing more to do – right?
While superficial or shallow scars can be harmless, often the tight skin can cause tension and create problems with mobility. Underneath the surface, tissue and organs can be affected, even if the scar looks small and fully healed.
If you are experience back pain, digestive problem, cold extremities, and hunchbacked…… and conditions are getting worse as time goes by, it is very reasonable that you believe the issues are caused by ageing. However if you also had surgery/procedures done on your abdomen/back long time ago like the following gentlemen, ageing may not be the only reason.
The case
Recently at Acuwell, a gentlemen came for health maintenance. He has had back pain, digestive problem, cold extremities for a long time. He could no longer stand up straight, which he believed was caused by ageing.
During history taking and physical examination, our practitioner Suiying learned that the patient had undergone a couple abdominal surgeries 20 years earlier. She considered besides other reasons, the healed wounds, which is now old scars, affecting his body badly.
Treatment
The treatment started with a fascia release, which prepare the patient for next treatment. This procedure opens up tight muscles and joints, and relieves tension in the tissue.
A session of acupuncture was then done, which regulated the whole body’s imbalance and release tension along the back and abdomen.
In the end, special needles were expertly placed targeting scars to release the tension of skin and underneath organs.
Results
After only one session including 60 minutes of fascia release plus acupuncture and 20 minutes of scar release, the results were incredible. The gentlemen was able to stand up significantly straighter, and his shoulders no longer tilted to his right, where the scar tension is pulling. His back pain had a 75% reduce and he expressed some kind of fluid flowing sensation towards extremities (circulation was improved).
We love seeing such positive results for our patients. Seeing people leave our clinic feeling happier and healthier is the reason why Acuwell exists.
