Chronic musculoskeletal pain and subsequent co-morbidities (dysfunction) are common condition that therapists treat on a daily basis. Injuries, chronic conditions and post-surgery issues involving the bones, muscles, tendons or ligaments can not only cause you pain but also prevent you from participating in the regular activities you enjoy. You may feel restricted and frustrated, unable to move with the freedom you once did.

These impairments may prevent patients from enjoying your normal work or recreational activities, and the focus of orthopedic therapy is to help your injury heal properly and improve your strength, range of motion, and overall functional mobility. The correction or prevention of deformities, disorders, or injuries of the skeleton and associated structures (such as tendons and ligaments) that causes pain or limited functional mobility as a result of an injury to bony or soft tissue structures in your body require the skilled services of orthopedic therapy.

Dolphin-MPS Therapy addresses orthopedic medicine by treating the underlying causes of disease – sympathetic stress reduction. MPS applies an integrative systems-oriented approach which addresses the influence of orthopedics on the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. The joined-up skeleton is the reason why MPS therapy is so important to the orthopedic recovery process.

MPS addresses these key areas for improved Orthopedic Functioning of major joints.

MPS therapy uses Dolphin Neurostim to reduce sympathetic stress to activate vagal tone (healing) in order to improve Orthopedic Functioning of all major joints. These steps include:

Imbalances of the parasympathetic (rest, heal, and calming) and sympathetic (flight/fight/freeze) branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are associated with a wide variety of pain and diseases. Designed for short term survival, “upregulation” or persistent tone in the sympathetic system, called stress, will directly decrease circulation and increase muscle tone, which is counter-productive to any therapist’s orthopedic goals.

Treating these stress-reducing points before any therapy session will reduce muscle tone and increase circulation for improved functional outcomes.

MPS therapy performs a sacral balance to re-balance sacral articulations to “restack” the spine and decrease pressure on the nerve roots of the spine to improve core strength & reduce chronic body-wide pains.

MPS Therapy is the 1st to bring this physician-based medicine onto western therapy. The MPS theorizes that applying cellular changing DC microcurrent to paraspinal acupuncture points relaxes muscle contractions responsible for nerve root entrapment (called radiculopathy or impingement) which promotes symmetrical joint movement and improved functional outcomes (& reduced pain) throughout the somatic nervous system.

MPS Therapy integrates the release/reduction of scar tissue into orthopedic therapy. We are the pioneers of “scar re-polarization” therapy and the first research center to introduce this potent therapy into Western hands. It is reported that up to one-third (1/3) of patients undergoing common surgical procedures report persistent or intermittent pain, called chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP), of varying severity at one year postoperation (Lancet 2006).

Scars strain and pull fascia, which connects to all muscles and organs of the body. Scars also create the formation of adhesions inside the body, reducing muscle performance, and produce pain. Scars also block metabolism and circulation, producing muscle stagnation. This multi-pronged effect of scars is now proven to systemically influence chronic pain, 80% of which is far removed (distal) from the scar injury site.

“With 65 million physical scars surgically produced annually from surgery (the “Fascia-Stress” Theory of pain may help to explain the causation of suffering for so many hard-to-treat (intractable) chronic pain sufferers.”
