Scar Release Treatments
-
At The Hive, we take a gentle yet highly effective, multi-layered approach to scar release that supports both the physical tissue and the nervous system.
1. Assessment & Tissue Mapping
We begin by assessing the scar’s depth, mobility, sensitivity, and how it influences the surrounding structures. This helps us understand where adhesions are forming and how they’re affecting your body’s natural movement patterns.
2. Dolphin Neurostim Microcurrent Therapy
We use the Dolphin Neurostim to deliver gentle microcurrent to the scar and surrounding fascia.
This helps to:Calm the nervous system
Reduce pain and hypersensitivity
Break down dysfunctional adhesions
Rebalance nerve signaling
It is gentle, non-invasive, and highly effective for both new and old scars.
3. Manual Scar Release Techniques
Using specialized hands-on techniques, we gently soften and mobilize the scar tissue.
This helps to:Increase flexibility and glide between tissue layers
Reduce pulling or tugging sensations
Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
Encourage healthier collagen remodeling
4. Therapeutic Cupping
Cupping creates lift and decompression around the scar, allowing deeper layers of fascia to release.
Benefits include:Better mobility around the scar
Reduced tightness and restriction
Improved drainage and healing
Enhanced blood flow for tissue repair

This treatment is ideal if you’ve experienced any type of surgical incision, injury, or trauma and you’re noticing changes in sensation, movement, or comfort around the area. Scar Release Therapy may be for you if:
You have a C-section scar that feels tight, numb, sensitive, or uncomfortable
Your post-operative scar (abdominal, breast, orthopedic, laparoscopic, etc.) hasn’t fully softened or healed the way you expected
You experience pulling, burning, or tugging sensations around your scar
The area feels restricted or impacts your posture, core strength, or pelvic floor function
Your scar causes pain during movement or certain activities
You notice bloating, digestive tension, or mobility changes linked to abdominal scarring
You want to improve the cosmetic appearance of your scar
Your scar feels emotionally disconnected or still carries tension from the experience
You want to support deeper healing, even if your scar is old
If you’re unsure whether your scar would benefit from treatment, we can assess the tissue during your visit and guide you toward the most supportive approach.

✨ Improves mobility & reduces tightness
Scar tissue can create deep fascial restrictions that limit movement. Releasing these adhesions restores mobility in the abdomen, hips, pelvis, and surrounding structures.✨ Softens the texture and appearance of the scar
Therapy increases circulation and collagen remodeling, helping scars look smoother, lighter, and more blended with the surrounding skin.✨ Reduces numbness, tingling, or sensitivity
Scars often trap nerve endings. Microcurrent and manual therapy help normalize sensation and reduce hypersensitivity or nerve irritation.✨ Relieves pain & pulling sensations
Many people feel tugging, burning, or discomfort months or years after surgery. Releasing adhesions helps ease these persistent sensations.✨ Supports core, pelvic floor & abdominal function
C-section or abdominal scars can affect core activation, posture, digestion, and pelvic floor mechanics. Restoring tissue mobility improves overall function.✨ Helps with bloating & digestive tension
Abdominal adhesions can influence motility and create bloating or “tightness.” Scar release therapy supports smoother fascial movement.✨ Encourages proper lymphatic flow
Cupping and manual release help reduce swelling, fluid stagnation, and puffiness around scar tissue.✨ Enhances emotional healing
Many scars carry emotional memories or trauma. Gentle, therapeutic work can support nervous system regulation and a deeper sense of connection with the body.✨ Prevents long-term compensations
Untreated scars can alter posture, gait, and muscle activation patterns. Early treatment reduces the likelihood of chronic issues forming later.
Chiropractic care focuses on the alignment and mobility of the spine and joints to support the body’s natural healing abilities. Through gentle, hands-on adjustments and therapeutic techniques, chiropractors reduce pain, improve function, and restore balance in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. It’s a holistic approach that supports long-term mobility, strength, and overall wellbeing
