MPS Dolphin Therapy

Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS therapy) is used to treat chronic and acute soft tissue pain and scar release therapy in an all-natural, drug-free way. This is done by applying microcurrent impulses to trigger acupoints, providing quick and effective pain relief for a number of medical conditions.

MPS therapy integrates the principles of acupuncture with modern neurology to provide an all-natural, holistic approach to treating the body and mind. This combination produces very effective results which have been recognized across North America.

MPS therapy works with the Dolphin Neurostim™ portable pain relief unit. MPS is the world’s first integrative therapy developed exclusively to de-regulate the ANS and fight chronic pain. The theoretical underpinnings of MPS Therapy are based on combining the “therapeutics” of acupuncture, osteopathy, and neural therapy with modern neurology. It applies brief,concentrated microcurrent impulses to specific treatment points that naturally reduces nervous system STRESS and cortisol, relaxing muscle tone and releasing the body’s natural pain killers, endorphins

Working with MPS therapy and the Dolphin Neurostim™ can have a number of benefits:

Relief from chronic pain
Treatment without drugs or invasive procedures
Quick treatment, as it can be applied within 3 to 20 minutes
Reduce stress, relax patients and improve therapy outcomes
Applied prior to massage, manual mobilization, injections, dry needling or any exercise program for significantly accelerated patient healing & functional outcomes

What Conditions Can MPS Therapy Help Treat?

Scar Tissue Release Therapy

Whether from injury or surgery, scar tissue can be significantly improved and softened and circulation and function can be greatly improved with MPS Scar/Adhesion Release Therapy. Often, scars result in a tightening of the surrounding tissue that can restrict movement or function in the body. These restrictions not only affect the joint, limb or surrounding area, but they can affect the underlying organs, too. This is because scar tissue has the potential to spread in any direction, including internally, throughout the body. Fortunately, releasing the scar can yield powerful results, which can improve mobility, diminish complications and decrease pain often associated with deep scars. MPS (Microcurrent Point Stimulation) is the method used at Advanced Physiotherapy & Wellness to release scars and is especially effective in treating large, deep, painful scars.

This incredibly healing treatment:

Speeds up the healing process of the scar
Decreases pain in the connective tissue
Helps to relax and fade scar tissue

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Essentials

The Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is comprised of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. PNS is part of the involuntary nervous system that works to reduce the heart rate, increase digestive and glandular activity, and relax the sphincter muscles. PNS allows the body to function in a “rest and digest” state. Vagal tone (HF) high-frequency is the main indicator of parasympathetic vagal nerve activity and vagal tone health. HF refers to the activity of the vagal nerve as it initiates 80% of your body relaxation mode. When the sympathetic nervous system goes into over-drive survival mode with fight, flight, and freeze, it signals the body to release stress hormone cortisol and adrenaline into your body. Through internal support, the vagus nerve puts the brakes and says “Chill Out!”. People who have a stronger vagal tone can rest, recover, and restore much more quickly.

Dolphin Vagal Stimulator Clinic Scenarios:

PRE-MANUAL RELAXATION: Dolphin VNS may be applied pre-manual therapy to relax muscle tone & increase circulation.
PAIN THERAPY: Dolphin VNS can reduce both stress and pain in any hospital or clinical setting(applied in under 15 min/patient)
STRESS DE-ACTIVATION: Dolphin may be applied to or by front line worker preventatively to reduce stress and improve immunity.

Dolphin VNS is a safe clinical procedure and could be an effective treatment for stress reduction & vagal tone enhancement. Learn more about vagus nerve stimulation.

Possible health benefits of enhanced vagal tone from vagal nerve stimulation:

Reduced inflammation: The vagus nerve sends an anti-inflammatory signal to the body.
Reduced muscle tension: activating vagal tone lessens muscle tension and trigger point tenderness.
Improved circulation and lymphatic function: The vagus nerve sends signals from the gut to the brain, which is linked to dealing with stress, anxiety, and fear–hence the saying, “gut feeling.” These signals help a person to recover from stressful and scary situations.
Reduced pain: Reducing stress reduces pain.
