Scar Release Therapy with Dolphin Neurostim
The Dolphin Neurostim™ is an innovative technology that uses Microcurrent point stimulation (MPS) therapy to quickly and effectively treat scars both new and old.
It is especially effective at promoting healing, releasing adhesions, reducing pain and improving the appearance of the scar.
Two units are used for the process applying a small, low level current along the length of the scar to help loosen and break up the scar tissue. The Dolphin Neurostim™ is both Health Canada and FDA approved making it a safe option for scar release.
Scars Negative Influence:
- Chronic pain
- Activate Stress - Up-regulate the Sympathetic Nervous System
- Create internal adhesions inside the body
- Impede Lymphatic and circulatory flow
- Restrict Functional Movements through pulling of the fascia
- Lock in emotions of the trauma in the cells
Benefits of reducing Scar Tissue:
- Immediate reduction of pain around the scar
- Improved sensation of the skin reducing any numbness/tingling
- Speeds up the healing process of the scar tissue enhancing recovery
- Diminished scar size
- Increased stretch and reduced tightness of the scar tissue allowing for improved mobility
- Improved blood flow and circulation
Scars have different electrical properties than the surrounding skin. Normal skin tissue holds a resting electrical charge of 80mV, and scars can be 20 times this voltage and can have a positive polarity. This newly formed bioelectrical altered scar tissue emits ongoing silent but turbulent signals into the Sympathetic Nervous System leading to the activation of STRESS.
Treating the scars using the Dolphin Neurostim™ can help to re-polarize the new scar tissue back to normal to improve cellular signalling and blood flow.
