What Is Scar Injection Therapy?

Most people think of scars as a surface-level concern. But scar tissue also forms underneath the skin, and that is where the real problem often lives.

When scar tissue forms below the surface, it can create what are called fascial adhesions: tiny threads of connective tissue that attach from the scar to the body structures below, including joint tissue, organs, bones, and nerves. These adhesions restrict motion, disrupt function, and cause significant, often persistent pain that can appear far from the original scar site.

By treating the scar directly, we can correct and eliminate pain, even when surgery, PT, chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, and other pain treatments have failed.

Most patients in Seattle experience 80 to 100% relief within just a handful of treatments.

How Trigger Point Injection Therapy Works

The Injection
Dr. Storm uses a 5% dextrose solution, often in combination with vitamins like B12, B6, B-complex, and lidocaine, injected precisely into the affected muscle tissue.
Releasing the Adhesions 
The solution works by cutting through the tendrils of scar tissue deep beneath the skin’s surface. Once these adhesions are disengaged, the body has the opportunity to fully heal from the surgery or injury.
Targeted Precision
Unlike massage, chiropractic, and PT, scar injection therapy works from the inside out. Dr. Storm is able to very precisely isolate an area of scar tissue and release it at the source, often producing immediate and noticeable shifts in pain and mobility.

Questions About Scar Injection Therapy in Seattle

How do I know if my scar is causing my symptoms?
Scar adhesions can refer pain and dysfunction far from the original incision site, which is why so many patients never make the connection. If you have had any surgery or significant injury and still have pain, restricted range of motion, or have never felt quite right since, scar injection therapy may be the missing piece. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Storm is the best way to find out.
Scar injection therapy can safely begin four to six weeks after surgery, once the incision has closed. Starting early decreases pain, speeds healing, and leads to a faster and more complete recovery. It is also never too late, we regularly treat scars that are years or even decades old with significant results.
Massage and physical therapy work on the surface of the tissue. Scar injection therapy works from the inside out, allowing Dr. Storm to precisely isolate scar tissue adhesions and release them at the source. This is why many patients see results from scar injection therapy after other treatments have failed to produce lasting change.
Most patients benefit from a series of six to eight sessions spaced one week apart. Results build cumulatively as the adhesion pattern releases and the body heals more fully. Dr. Storm will give you a clear recommendation based on your scar history and symptoms at your consultation.
Yes, and we often recommend it as part of a broader recovery protocol. Scar injection therapy pairs beautifully with PRP therapy for deeper tissue repair, HBOT to accelerate healing, and our complete C-section recovery program for patients navigating post-surgical recovery. Dr. Storm will advise on the combination that makes the most sense for your situation.
Most patients find the treatment very well tolerated. Dr. Storm uses very fine needles and works carefully and precisely through the tissue to minimize discomfort. Many patients report that the sensation of the scar releasing is immediately noticeable and deeply satisfying.
