Internal scar tissue is formed as a result of some surgical procedures, such as hartmannâs procedure, injury, inflammation or infection. The medical term for internal scarring is âadhesionâ. It is different from external scar tissue in the way that it forms. As it can cause tethers or a biological barrier, and result in pain and complications. It is caused by your bodyâs own healing process.
However, there is a down side to scars. Scar tissue shortens muscle tissue, which shows up as immobility, irritability and pain syndrome. The pain caused by scar tissue can also relate to trigger points that can be embedded in or around scars. Trigger points create a type of muscle stiffness and are the result of tiny contraction knots in muscle and tissues where an area of the body is injured or overworked.
