A Technology-Assisted Approach to Pain Management
MPS — Microcurrent Point Stimulation — combines principles associated with acupuncture and trigger-point therapy with gentle electrical stimulation.
Using the handheld Dolphin MPS device, Machelle can apply low-level microcurrent stimulation to selected acupuncture points, trigger points and areas associated with muscular tension or sensitivity.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, conventional acupuncture needles are not required to stimulate these points with the Dolphin device.

Where MPS Fits Into Your Treatment Plan
Pain does not always originate from one isolated location. Muscles, sensitive trigger points and patterns of tension can all contribute to how discomfort is experienced.
MPS gives Machelle another way to work with these patterns. Depending on your individual needs, it may be incorporated into care for persistent muscular discomfort, neck and shoulder tension, back discomfort, sensitive trigger points or areas affected by previous injuries.
