Scar tissue is actually cicatricial tissue. It is the dense fibrous tissue forming a cicatrix, derived directly from granulation tissue; called also scar tissue. Scars have a direct link to pain and dysfunction. Scar tissue refers to thick, fibrous tissues that form in place of healthy tissue that have been damaged, and are oftentimes accompanied by adhesions. The damage may not affect much of the biotensegrity of the body. Sometimes, a scar is just a scar. But sometimes, a scar is the source of pain and dysfunction. Scar tissue can inhibit healthy nerve function and create stiffness and pain in the body. Oftentimes, the pain is not at the scar site, but rather along the fascia lines.
