After the human body has experienced an injury from a
traumatic event, or following surgery, scar tissue may form. In many patients,
scar tissue does not cause pain or discomfort, but certain individuals may
experience scar tissue pain in the spinal area following a back injury or
surgery. When this pain begins to hinder everyday life, individuals in the
Tyler, Texas area are encouraged to contact the pain management specialists at
Pain Recovery Center of Tyler to learn more about the safe and effective treatment
option known as epidural lysis of adhesions.
Following an injury impacting the spine, or after back
surgery, scar tissue typically develops in the epidural space (the area between
the spinal cord and the vertebral bones that surround it). The development of
these adhesions is a natural part of the healing process. Unfortunately when an
excess amount of scar tissue develops, it has the ability to compress the
nerves and restrict nerve movement, often leading to pain and inflammation.
When scar tissue pain in the spinal area becomes chronic,
many individuals search for a treatment option. Dr. Kenneth Fults and Dr.
Janine Islam with Pain Recovery Center of Tyler provide a treatment known as
epidural lysis of adhesions. This procedure utilizes a special catheter and a
combination of medications to break up scar tissue and help ease pain.
If you live in the
Tyler, Texas area and are suffering from scar tissue pain in the spinal area,
please contact Pain Recovery Center of Tyler today for additional information
on epidural lysis of adhesions. You can also visit our full blog article here
