Microcurrent Point Stimulation

Releasing Muscle Tension and Pain

MPS is a direct current therapy used at CHARM
to release abnormal muscle tension and gripping patterns so proper motor control can
be re-established.

Treatment Benefits

Release Muscle Tension and Joint Restriction

Modulate Autonomic Nervous System and Decrease Sympathetic Up-regulation

Repolarize and release scar tissue

Decrease pain and tissue sensitivity

Myofascial Release and Increased Circulation

Release Natural Endorphins Producing General Relaxation

Decrease Restriction Around Neural Pathways

The Science

Applied by a non-invasive point stimulator, MPS current produces a low 2-4 Hz frequency acupuncture-like stimulation. This therapy provides fast, safe, and effective reduction of muscle tension, nervous system stress and up-regulation, guarding, and pain response
Another benefit of micro-current point stimulation is scar release therapy. Scars often disrupt the neuromyofascial system resulting in pain and muscle inhibition which can produce changes in nervous system input and blood flow.
MPS is very different from other forms of electrical stimulation like TENS (alternating current) in both application precision and waveform.
“The perineural cells or nerve sheaths carry a direct current of electricity, prompting the body to grow, heal, regenerate and repair itself. No subsequent healing of any injury may occur without DC stimulation.” - Dr. Robert Becker The Body Electric
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) is the perfect compliment to Regenerative Medicine.

Using MPS on my c-section scar was game changing. Immediately after an MPS session, I could feel and see that my scar had released. Instantaneously I could stand up straight and not feel pulling on my scar. Scar massage can be painful and scary — MPS is painless and I saw immediate results.
