Mps Therapy

What Is MPS Therapy?

MPS therapy, also known as Microcurrent Point Stimulation therapy, is a technique that combines the principles of acupuncture and microcurrent electrical stimulation to help relieve pain and for scar release therapy.  Our clinic utilizes the Dolphin Neurostim system for MPS. 

Here’s How MPS Therapy Works And How It Can Aid In Pain Relief:

Acupuncture Principles: – Targeting particular body spots known as acupuncture points or trigger points, MPS therapy makes use of the acupuncture principles. These points are said to correspond to various bodily organs, tissues, or systems.

Microcurrent Electrical Stimulation – The device administers low-level electrical currents via acupuncture needles or specialized probes put into the acupuncture points during MPS therapy. In MPS therapy, very low-intensity electrical currents that imitate the body’s normal electrical signals are used.

Pain Relief Mechanisms – MPS therapy can help relieve pain through several mechanisms like Endorphin Release, Muscle Relaxation, Nerve Modulation and Increased Circulation.

Conditions Treated – MPS therapy can be used to treat both acute and chronic pain, among other types of pain and medical conditions. Back pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries are just a few examples of the musculoskeletal problems that the Dolphin MPS can help with giving pain relief. Neuropathic pain, post-operative pain, and other types of pain may also be treated with it.

– Increases ATP Production by 300-500%
– Decreases Cortisol levels by up to 35%
– Increases HRV which improves the ANS ability to adapt to change
– Increases the cellular metabolism by increasing the body’s
ability to communicate
– Only microcurrent point stimulation can do this

Let’s compare the point of application of Electrical stimulation with a pad vs a point
 
The inverse Square simply says that you need four times as much voltage to deliver the same amount of current into the body for every time you double the surface area of application. A 2×2 electrode has an 8,000 times more surface area than the Dolphin’s tip.

Therefore, a 2×2 pad would need 32,000 times more voltage than a single location on the dolphin to deliver the same amount of current into the body.
