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).
If you have surgical scar tissue or scar tissue formation from an injury, you may benefit from physical therapy to help reduce the scar. Your physical therapist can use various techniques, like massage, taping, or stretching, to decrease scar tissue adhesions and formations so you can restore normal functional mobility.
