There are either active scars, which means they are actively causing a problem, or they are not active which means that you’ve got a scar that is just a scar.
When you’ve got an active scar, it is not the scar causing the problem. The scar is the evidence there has been a break in the nerve tissue that is now confusing the body.
What’s supposed to happen is that a nerve signal follows a correct path and goes where it’s supposed to go. Now a scar increases the number of nerve fibers in the area as part of the healing process. The nerve fibers are trying to reunite across the gap in the injured area.
In a scar, the nerve connection formed acts as a capacitor for nerve energy. Capacitors store energy. So the nerve signals come in and instead of continuing on the correct path, are stored in the nerve fibers of the scar until it reaches its capacity and discharges.
Unfortunately, with a scar situation it rarely discharges along the correct path. Instead it starts sending signals to the wrong areas of the body. That’s how a scar can mess with the body.
All you are looking for is something that broke the surface of the skin. The skin is not the problem, it is how the nerves healed and reconnected in the scar.
We have a protocol where we treat an active scar with either wheat germ oil (because wheat germ oil will help the body reorganize the neurology) or we use what’s called low-level light therapy. The low-level light therapy also does the same thing that the wheat germ oil does, but it does it a little more intensely.
We also use direct treatment on the scar to break up the scar tissue.
Interference Field Factors
It has been clinically noted that 60% of surgical scars become dysfunctional. During the healing process, many sympathetic nerve fibers that are present on the skin surface become entrapped in the scar tissue and produce constant impulses that stimulate pain.
The stimulation results from several factors:
1. There is a mechanical tension created by the tough fibrous scar tissue
2. Because the scar tissue is fibrous it prevents normal exchange of metabolic waste products from exiting the cells and disrupts the flow of nutrients and other chemical substances needed for normal cell function
3. The scar tissue disrupts the cell membrane potential and acupuncture meridian energy
To combat these factors, soft laser is used to stimulate healing of the inflamed tissue and reset the energy flow and electro-membrane potential.
