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.

What kind of Scars can be treated?

• C-Sections

• Tummy tuck scars

• Breast scars/Mastectomy scars/Lumpectomy scars

• Gallbladder/Appendectomy

• Hysterectomy 

• Hernia scars

• Knee and Hip replacement scars

• AND MORE!

​

Extra time will be needed to include MPS treatment into your Functional Lymphatic Optimization TM appointment.

​

What if my scar is old?

Over time, scars can be responsible for:

• chronic pain in sites distant to the scar

• Increased stress response causing local or whole body inflammation that affects the gut microbiome, immune system, fascial restrictions leading to joint and muscle pain, internal adhesions that cannot be seen with imaging technologies

• Impaired lymphatic and blood circulation flow

Treatment of scars even decades after they appeared can help!

​

How many sessions do I need?

Older scars may require more sessions that newer ones, but results will be noted after the first treatment!

​

Take a scar inventory

Trauma and surgery can cause scarring. Take a moment to make a list of all the times you had a sprain, strain, fracture, dental or other surgical procedure or bump on the head. It all adds up!

NOTE: "Research surrounding the use of MPS therapy is still in its beginning stages. Current studies are small but promising. At this point, while I have seen promising results using the Dolphin Neurostim units, my protocols always include other manual therapies to get the best results possible."  Catharine Burt RN, BScN, RMT, CDT
