What is Fibrous Adhesion?

  • Fibrous adhesion or scar tissue in or around the soft tissues (muscle, tendon, ligament or nerve) is one of the most common sources of pain, weakness, and limited motion in the human body. It is unfortunately also the most under-diagnosed problem in the musculo-skeletal system. 


Please watch this short video below to learn more about muscle adhesion. 

Understanding Fibrous Adhesion: A Key to Muscle and Joint Health


What is Fibrous Adhesion?

Fibrous adhesion, commonly known as scar tissue, is a major cause of pain, weakness, and restricted movement in the body. It often forms in soft tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Despite being a frequent issue, it's one of the least diagnosed problems affecting our musculo-skeletal system.


Fibrous Muscular Adhesion Explained

These are fibrous bands or scar tissue that develop in soft tissues due to injuries or repetitive motions. Though challenging, with specialized treatment, these adhesions can be effectively managed and reversed.


Causes of Fibrous Adhesion

Adhesions aren't just a result of trauma or surgery. They often occur in soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments) due to overuse or misalignment. These injuries prompt the body to create scar tissue, leading to further dysfunction and pain. Adhesions can arise from everyday activities like typing or sports-related strains and impacts, contributing to common conditions like tennis elbow or runner's leg injuries.


The Impact of Adhesion

Adhesions force muscles to work harder, leading to fatigue and transferring stress to cartilage, bones, and joints. This cycle can result in chronic pain and, if not addressed, more severe issues like herniated discs or arthritis.


Treating Adhesion Effectively

Simple home remedies like stretching or foam rolling provide temporary relief but aren't long-term solutions. Professional treatment is essential for breaking down adhesions. At Discover Soft Tissue + Spine, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we focus on soft tissues and use advanced techniques for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
