MICROCURRENT POINT STIMULATION THERAPY (MPS)
Nerves carry direct current (DC) electricity, which promotes the body to grow, heal, regenerate and repair itself. Healing cannot occur without DC stimulation.
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy, harnesses this principle to promote healing and pain relief. By using DC stimulation to mimic and enhance the body's natural healing processes, MPS therapy offers a unique and integrative approach to pain management, tissue repair, and nervous system regulation by addressing both symptoms and the underlying root causes.
WHAT IS MICROCURRENT POINT STIMULATION THERAPY?
Microcurrent Point Stimulation uses a Dolphin Neurostim handheld device to apply direct-current impulses to specific therapeutically active points of the body including key acupuncture, motor, and trigger points. This is the world’s first hybrid device specifically designed for the treatment of chronic and acute soft tissue pain that is backed by an abundance of scientific literature.
It relaxes tight muscles, calms the nervous system, and releases endorphins (your bodies natural pain fighters and stress relieving hormones). Because MPS treats the body's muscular, nervous and endocrine systems, its results are quick and very effectively for many chronic pain conditions where other approaches fail.
MICROCURRENT HEALS THE ROOT CAUSE OF PAIN
MPS vs TENS
The flow of electrons is called current and there are two general types of current; direct and alternating. The Dolphin Neurostim MPS uses direct current (DC), which flows evenly in one continuous direction. A TENS (Transcutaneous Electro Nerve Stimulator) unit uses alternating current (AC) that shifts direction and changes intensity, similar to our household devices yet not biologic in nature. TENS devices provide "competitive inhibition," essentially creating stimulus that blocks prior pain signals from reaching the brain. This means that while they may block the sensation of pain, they don't treat the underlying root cause.
​
Dolphin Neurostim MPS is hundreds of times less powerful than a traditional TENS device, which delivers an amplitude that has been found to resonate with the nervous system and therefore has a dramatic influence on cellular changes in organs, tissue and fascia. Because of this, its has been considered "microcurrent bio-stimulation" because of its benefits of cellular physiology and growth. In short, direct current (MPS) heals the root cause of pain, while alternating current (TENS) simply blocks the sensation of the pain, but has no impact on the cellular tissue. ​​
​
It is a recurring theme in scientific literature that soft stimulus heals the body best. As far back as 1853, Rudolf Arndt and Hugo Schulz found that "weak stimuli increases physiologic activity and very strong stimuli inhibit or abolishes activity." This makes perfect sense, as the autonomic nervous system is delicate and does not respond well to strong disruptive forces. For this reason, the soft microcurrent stimulation delivered via a Dolphin Neurostimn has a much more profound influence on the nervous system them the aggressive TENS unit.
STRESS, CORTISOL & THE VAGUS NERVE
Microcurrent therapy has a powerful effect on the nervous system because the low-amplitude stimulation mimics the body's own healing frequencies. Most notable is its effect on the vagus nerve, which ripples benefits into every aspect of health.
To make things simple, the autonomic nervous system has two major components; the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS), and the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS.) While the SNS is the 'fight or flight' side which is responsible for danger and stress-responses, the PNS is the 'rest and digest' side which controls restorative functions including digestion, detoxification, and immunologic balance. Roughly 80% of the PNS's restoration responses are mediated through the vagus nerve.
