Muscle adhesions
- repetitive strain and long term muscle tension induces adhesions
- a healthy muscle, the small fibers (fibrils) glides over one another during contraction
- The repetitive strain and muscle tension, shortens fibers that transform to adhesions which limits the gliding (contraction)
- limited flexibility and small painful bumps in the muscle is apparent. Adhesions is a chronically irritated muscle
- it is typically rehabilitated with deep massage, slow and deep stretching and careful rehabilitation
Symptoms of adhesions
- anorexia
- nausea
- vomiting
- colicky abdominal pain
- distention
- constipation
- tinkling bowel sounds
Two common home diagnostic testing for adhesions are
- high blood pressure
- home blood pressure hypertension tests
- home blood pressure monitors
- home heart tests
- heart health
- heart rate monitors
- irregular heartbeat detection
- heart electrocardiogram (ECG)
- home blood pressure testing
- home cholesterol testing
Treatment depends on the location and adhesion formation, and the symptoms of the formation. Adhesions can improve without surgery. Pain treatment, antibiotics, and other symptomatic treatments sometimes are sufficient for self-healing of the adhesion.
Adhesions surgery
Two common surgical techniques to treat abdominal adhesions are laparoscopy and laparotomy.
- With laparoscopy, a camera is inserted through a small hole in the skin to confirm the adhesion exists. Then the adhesions then is cut and released (adhesiolysis).
- In laparotomy, a larger incision is made for a camera to be used to confirm the adhesion’s existence.
Adhesions requiring surgery commonly resurge, because surgery itself causes adhesions.
