Clinical Consideration

Under physiological conditions, inflammation is an adaptive response

aimed at restoring tissue integrity and functionality. The autonomic

nervous system (ANS) plays an important role in modulating inflammatory

responses. Physiologically, both the SNS and the peripheral nervous

system (PNS) act synergistically to keep the inflammatory reaction

circumscribed. SNS/PNS imbalance can drive unabated or chronic

inflammation, which in turn can drive processes that may lead to multiple

complications including pathophysiological scars. Multiple complementary

and alternative medicine interventions, including MT, have demonstrated a

solid capacity to rebalance ANS function back to homeostasis and

therefore may be an effective intervention for reducing or preventing

pathophysiological scars (Moyer et al. 2004, Beider et al. 2007, Collet et

al. 2014, Guan et al. 2014).
