Microcurrent point stimulation (MPS) treats scar tissue and chronic pain and helps clients recover from injuries more quickly. MPS stimulates the nervous system and helps decrease to stress and release internal chemical signals to promote healing and pain reduction.
A study in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine examined a group of 51 chronic pain patients. These patients were given a test to gauge their pain level both before and after treatment. The study showed that after one treatment of MPS, these patients had a 73% average decrease in pain.
A microcurrent treatment is noninvasive. The Dolphin Neurostim resembles a remote control with a tip on the end — this tip is used to send a small current through tissues of the body, which provides healing benefits.
