At Caring for the Body, PLLC, we are committed to offering the most advanced, holistic treatments available to promote healing and wellness. One such therapy is Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS), a groundbreaking approach to pain management and healing that aligns with our mission of addressing the root causes of health issues.
What is Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS)?
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) therapy is an integrative approach to pain relief and rehabilitation. It combines the principles of acupuncture, osteopathy, and microcurrent therapy to target and release muscle pain and tension. The therapy utilizes a device that delivers low-frequency, electrical stimulation to specific points on the body, known as acupoints, trigger points, or myofascial points.
How Does MPS Work?
MPS therapy works by applying a gentle electrical current to areas of the body that are associated with pain and dysfunction. This current stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, including increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and releasing endorphins—the body’s natural painkillers.
The microcurrent used in MPS is extremely low, often imperceptible to the patient, but it is powerful enough to activate cellular repair mechanisms. This treatment helps to break the cycle of chronic pain by resetting nerve pathways and reducing muscle tension, which can contribute to pain and discomfort.
Indications for MPS Therapy
MPS is a versatile treatment option and can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
Chronic Pain: Effective for managing chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and neuropathy.
Acute Pain and Injuries: Useful for acute pain and injuries, including sprains, strains, and post-surgical recovery.
Headaches and Migraines: Helps reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
Stress and Anxiety: By stimulating acupoints associated with the nervous system, MPS can help alleviate stress and anxiety.
Scar Tissue and Adhesions: MPS therapy can help break down scar tissue and improve mobility and flexibility.
Constipation: By targeting specific acupoints, MPS therapy can help regulate the digestive system and alleviate symptoms of constipation.
Vagal Nerve Stimulation: MPS can be used to stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting relaxation, improving digestion, and supporting overall nervous system balance.
What to Expect During an MPS Therapy Session
During your MPS therapy session, a trained practitioner will use a handheld device to apply microcurrent stimulation to specific points on your body. The session is typically painless, and many patients find it deeply relaxing. Depending on your condition, sessions may last between 15 to 60 minutes.
Benefits of MPS Therapy
Non-Invasive: MPS is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime, making it a safe and effective option for many patients.
Holistic Approach: MPS therapy addresses the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than merely masking symptoms.
Improved Healing: By enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation, MPS supports the body’s natural healing processes.
Enhanced Well-Being: Many patients report not only pain relief but also a sense of overall well-being after MPS sessions.
