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).
As tissues go through the three stages of healingâthe inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and remodeling phaseâGraston treatment can be helpful. Once the damaged tissues are healed, the remaining scar tissue needs to be removed. This is the main function of Graston Technique. Specially designed metal tools help sever adhesions and/or scar tissue. This is especially important in the final stage of healing: the remodeling phase. Once scar tissue is removed, mobility to joints is restored and frequently the pain from the scar tissue will be relieved immediately, although the discomfort from treatment may last 24 to 48 hours.
