Scar Tissue Therapy in Fairfax

MPS is a non-invasive technique that applies gentle electrical microcurrent to specific points on and around a scar. The goal is to release the connective tissue restrictions that form as a scar matures, which can affect both the local area and distant structures through fascial connections. It’s distinct from massage or laser treatments in both mechanism and application.

MPS works well for post-surgical scars — C-sections, joint replacements, abdominal surgeries — as well as trauma scars and areas of chronic post-surgical pain or restricted movement. Older scars, even years after the original injury, can still respond meaningfully to treatment.

The microcurrent used is very low-level — most patients feel nothing at all, or a mild tingling sensation. Some discomfort is possible if there’s active inflammation or heightened sensitivity in the area, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated even in patients with significant post-surgical sensitivity.

Timing depends on your surgeon’s clearance and how well the wound has healed. Most patients start once the scar is fully closed — this can range from a few weeks to several months post-surgery depending on the procedure. Your clinician will coordinate with your surgical team if needed.

Results vary based on scar age, size, and how much surrounding tissue has been affected. Many patients notice changes within 2–4 sessions, though complex or long-standing restrictions may require more. Your clinician will give you a realistic estimate after the initial assessment.

OMNI’s clinicians integrate MPS scar therapy into a broader treatment approach when appropriate. If your scar is affecting movement or contributing to chronic pain patterns, we look at the full picture — not just the scar in isolation — which is the approach that produces lasting results.
