What Is Muscle Scar Tissue & Why It Happens?
Muscle tear scar tissue, also called adhesions, are clumps of dead fibrous tissue that form in the muscles, of course, but can also happen in the other tissues of the musculoskeletal system: fascia, ligaments, joints, and tendons. This scar tissue feels tight and restricts fluid movement. Because it lacks blood flow, it can also reduce blood flow and hinder messages sent through the nervous system, slowing response times. Over time, this leads to more cellular death, growing the adhesion.
You may feel pain, swelling, tissue tightness, redness, and inability to move as fast or fluidly as you usually would—directly impacting performance in sports and daily activities. You may even feel a muscle scar tissue lump through the skin.
Don’t let scar tissue muscle knots steal your performance and mobility. Schedule an initial consultation, including a comprehensive muscle scar tissue evaluation and first treatment.
Muscle Tear Scar Tissue Is a Natural Part of Healing
As an active person, you probably already know that to grow muscle, you must push it slightly past its limits. This causes micro-tears in the tissue that heal, developing the muscle. Scarring is a natural part of this healing process. If the body stopped here, your muscles would become more scar than muscle. So, there’s a next step.
The Body Replaces Scar Tissue Muscle Knots with New Muscle
In the ideal situation, the body replaces the scar tissue with healthy new muscle strands. This typically takes 24 hours. But after an intense workout (or day on the job), it may take up to 3 days. That’s why professional athletes and fitness influencers have leg and arm days to let those muscles heal. If the muscle is re-injured during the healing process, some scar tissue remains each time rather than being replaced.
Muscle Adhesions Can Happen to Anyone
“Permanent” scarring can happen to anyone. But it’s common in performance athletes, those who keep a regular training schedule, and people who perform repetitive manual tasks, such as working on an assembly line. Muscle scar tissue after surgery is also common. Scar tissue muscle knots occur post-surgery because the body is overwhelmed with trying to heal many tissues simultaneously.
The Graston Technique for muscle scar tissue effectively reclaims past performance and functions at your best.

Targeted Treatment by Your Truspine Chiropractor
With precision and expertise, your Truspine Chiropractor commences the Graston Technique session. We can target several areas during one session, and we target each area for about 30 to 60 seconds before moving to a different area. However, if this is your first Graston Session, you may have multiple adhesions in a small area.
By skillfully gliding the specialized Graston tools over the affected areas, we gently break down scar tissue on muscle. The controlled pressure applied during the process stimulates blood flow, promoting natural healing and reducing muscle scarring as the muscle begins to regenerate this time.
