Back Lower (Lumbar) Scar Tissue Treatment
Scar tissue involving the spinal area is most common in the lumbar region and appears in two forms: epidural scar tissue and lumbar arachnoiditis. A scar is a natural part of the healing process.
Lumbar arachnoiditis is abnormal thickening of tissue that binds nerve roots together inside the dural sac. The clumping and distortion of groups of individual nerve roots can produce low back and leg pain that is mild to severe.
Where muscle fibers have been torn, scar tissue will be created to repair the fibers. Scar tissue is not identical to the tissue that it replaces and is usually of inferior functional quality.
