Microcurrent Point Stimulation
Releasing Muscle Tension, Scar Tissue, 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 of Microcurrent Point Stimulation
- 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.
