Acupuncture for Scar Care
Turn Scars into Healing Pathways
Gentle, effective acupuncture to restore mobility, reduce pain, and support true recovery.



Why Scars Matter
Even long after a wound has closed, a scar can continue to impact your health. Scar tissue can disrupt:
-
Nervous system signaling
-
Fascial mobility
-
Organ function
-
Circulation and lymphatic flow
Whether it’s a C-section, surgery, burn, or old injury, the effects of scar tissue often go deeper than the surface.
How Acupuncture Helps
Acupuncture is a powerful, natural tool for scar rehabilitation. By placing ultra-fine needles around and within the scar area (and along related meridians), we can:
✅ Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
✅ Reduce numbness, tingling, or nerve pain
✅ Release fascial restrictions
✅ Restore energetic and neurological pathways
✅ Reduce redness, sensitivity, and adhesions
✅ Support emotional healing tied to trauma or surgery
"Acupuncture isn't just for pain—it's for repair and regulation. Scar work is one of the most overlooked yet powerful applications."
— Dr. Eileen Denny], DC, MS, Dipl Ac, DICCP

Is This Right for You?
Ask yourself:

Do you have lingering pain or tension near a scar?
-
Is part of your body less mobile than it used to be?
-
Does a scar still feel tender, numb, or overly sensitive?
-
​
If yes, your scar may be interfering with optimal function—and acupuncture could help.
