Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Rehabilitative Sciences
  • Manual Therapies

Background:

  • Scars resulting from trauma or surgery can impact physical function and aesthetics.
  • Conventional treatments for scars have limitations, prompting exploration of alternative approaches.
  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) offers diverse modalities for managing scar tissue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a narrative review on CAM approaches to scar management.
  • To focus on osteopathy, naturopathy, physiotherapy, and manual therapies for scar treatment.
  • To analyze the influence of diaphragm relaxation techniques on scar healing.

Main Methods:

  • Narrative literature review.
  • Analysis of existing studies on manual and psychophysical relaxation techniques.
  • Examination of scar tissue healing responses.

Main Results:

  • CAM modalities, including osteopathy and physiotherapy, show potential in scar management.
  • Diaphragm relaxation techniques may positively influence local tissue response and scar healing.
  • Manual therapies offer a non-invasive approach to address scar-related issues.

Conclusions:

  • CAM offers promising avenues for scar treatment, complementing traditional methods.
  • Further research is needed to validate the efficacy of specific CAM techniques for scar healing.
  • This review provides a knowledge base for therapists treating patients with skin surface discontinuities.
