While we think of scars as occurring on the surface of the skin, scar tissue also forms underneath the skin. When this happens, it can cause what we call a “fascial adhesion” — tiny threads of connective tissue that attach from the scar/skin/surface onto the body structures below. When the scar occurs over the abdomen, like in the case of c-section surgery, the symptoms that develop from scar adhesion can be quite complex. These adhesions restrict motion and cause significant issues, including persistent pain.
By treating the scar, we can correct and eliminate pain post-c-section surgery — even when surgery, PT, chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and other post-partum modalities have failed. Most patients experience 80–100% relief within just a handful of treatments.
C-Section Scars:
Common symptoms:
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Incontinence
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- Abs that don’t “fire” or activate correctly
- Hip pain
- Pain with intercourse
- Low back pain (from abs not firing and supporting the spine
- PMS/cramping
- Persistent mental and emotional symptoms following C-section surgery — including anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, fearful memories, or unprocessed grief and trauma
FAQs
What is C-Section Scar Therapy?
- Dr. Storm uses a 5% dextrose solution, often in combination with vitamins like B12, B6, B-complex, and/or lidocaine, to “unhook” threads of scar tissue that have become anchored to structures underneath the skin. C-Section Scar Therapy enables more motion and reduces pain.
How does it help?
- C-Section Scar Therapy works by “undoing” the tendrils of scar tissue deep to the skin’s surface. Once these tendrils are disengaged, the body has the opportunity to fully heal from surgery and injury.
Why C-Section Scar Therapy?
- C-Section Scar Therapy is an effective treatment because it works from the inside out — unlike massage, chiropractic, and PT. Dr. Storm is able to very precisely isolate the area of scar tissue and release it in moments, untying it at the source.
Is C-Section Scar Therapy for me?
- If you have ever had a cut or incision that left a scar and still have pain, restricted range of motion, or “just haven’t felt the same” since the injury or operation, C-Section Scar Therapy is an effective treatment for lasting relief.
When do I come in?
- C-Section Scar Therapy Therapy can safely be used within 4–6 weeks of surgery. It will decrease pain and speed healing, and get you on the road to a faster and more complete recovery. C-section scar therapy can also be used decades after a c-section scar to restart the healing cycle and resolve underlying symptoms caused by scar tissue and adhesions.
