Clinical autonomic disease and the role of autonomic testing. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the homeostatic control of numerous bodily functions such as blood pressure and body temperature regulation, urinary function, pupil size, sweating, sexual function, and digestion.
Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery. Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia).
Scar tissue grows in the body as a normal response to injury. This injury may be caused by repetitive strain, fracture, or surgery. Management of scar tissue through scar massage, stretching, and exercise is essential to ensure proper remodeling of the scar takes place and normal mobility and function are restored.
