Scar tissue is your bodies way of healing itself.
Scar tissue in injured areas is made up of the same kind of cells as normal tissue, but it's laid down much faster as a patch on top of the damaged area.
If you get scar tissue in a large area, it will be uncomfortable to move while you stretch out the skin, but it most likely won't cause long term issues.
Scar tissue that forms on ligaments on your back or neck is a completely different story and can become debilitating.
Since we can't stretch it ourselves, we rely on our chiropractors to do it for us.
Your chiropractor will focus his or her adjustments on the specific joints that are fixated, stretching them and breaking up the scar tissue around the joint.
