Dolphin MPS Therapy, SCAR treatment, Brain Injury treatment, Vagus Nerve treatment

Do you have pain, trouble losing weight, or trouble sleeping, getting to sleep, digestion issues, headaches, staying calm with your kids?  

Do you eat healthy,  take supplements,  exercise often, but none of that is really helping? 


You may have an UPCHARGED nervous system. If your system is revved up, these symptoms are all very typical, along with possible anxiety or depression.  Addressing any of these issues without addressing the nervous system will only get you so far. 

The VAGUS nerve is KEY to recovering from all of these things.  If the body is stressed, naturally it
goes into fight or flight, and after the "threat" is over, the body should recover and go back into "rest and digest" mode.   But, if the Vagus nerve isn't automatically turning back on, you may be stuck in fight or flight, which increases cortisol and weight gain, decreases digestion, increases pain, disturbs sleep, can cause fatigue, depression, anxiety, and more. 

 Dolphin Neurostim MPS work can help with all these things because it doesn't just focus on the symptoms, it focuses on the underlying cause or accompanying non-ignorable issue, which in all of these issues is actually a revved up or up-regulated nervous system.  The Dolphin can be used to calm down the nervous system, turn on the VAGUS nerve which allows the body to get in a healing state, and then we can help treat all of the following with incredible results.  

  •  
  • Recovery of any sports injury, fracture, back pain
  • calming the nervous system 
  • Scar Release - surgical, non-surgical
  • Activating the Vagus nerve  
  • Auricular Therapy
  • Treating BRAIN and Neuro issues (TBI, Concussions, Parkinsons)
  • Digestion issues
  • post long-Covid syndrome
  • Acu-pressure points to treat many health issues
  • Pain management (MPS Pain Therapy)
  • Treating Learning Disorders


Modern medicine often focuses on just the symptoms, and thus, they often get mediocre results.  If the nervous system is not addressed, and calmed down, then the body can't be in a state to heal.  Simply put, when its stressed, it can't heal. Stress is a major cause of disease or DIS- EASE. 


RECOVERY OF INJURY - sports injuries, back pain, knee pain, fractures, rotator cuff pain, fractures, surgeries

When using the dolphin to calm the system and treat the injury, we see quicker and better results.  Research proves 50-80% pain reduction is typical.  The very gentle < 1 micro amp of current is very similar to the current of the heart and helps restore action potential to the cells. This allows them to restore their function, get cleaned up and increases their potential to produce ATP (400%)  and mitochondria production  (30%), and nudges them to heal from injuries. Pain is reduced as this all helps the cells get rid of inflammation and increase circulation.  In addition , the imbalanced muscle tension around the injury is released, the integrity of the tissues and fascia improve, and muscle strength is increased.  

Bone Fractures -Research shows  it can promote bone healing by 50-250% 

CALMING OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

IF the nervous system is in fight or fight, the heart and lungs can be caught in stress mode, and the digestive system and non - essential organs for momentary survival are shut down to some degree so the body can get blood to the muscles and run to survive.  OR sometimes, it gets stuck in a "freeze" mode where it can't function properly.   In these modes, its hard to make decisions, its hard not to be selfish, our ears are sensitive so loud noises can bother us, extra stimulation is not well tolerated. The body can't process the healthy nutrients and supplements you are taking and it may be difficult to get to sleep or stay asleep.  This all increases cortisol and makes it so our hormones can't be balanced, our gut-microbiome is negatively affected and mental clarity can be cloudy and foggy.  This all affects our performance, reduces our reaction time and fatigues the body and makes if very hard to heal.  Even sexual dysfunction and Pelvic floor and Fertility issues are autonomic nervous system issues that should improve when we treat the nervous system. 

 With Dolphin Neurostim we stimulate the calming acupuncture points of the body, which quickly and effectively calm it down and bring it from sympathetic (fight or flight) into sympathetic (rest and digest).  This in turn, improves digestion, sleep, concentration and decision making and focusing your energy on the things and projects you would like to do. 

We use an ear vagal nerve stimulator that quickly and effectively activates the Vagus nerve, and helps you get further out of fight or flight and into a rest and digest healing mode! Further improving the things we mentioned above and greatly improving your quality of life. 

We address any scars that may be actively aggravating your system, which can be a major ROOT cause of your body having anxiety or being in fight or flight, or having trouble digesting or causing pain.  As we treat these scars , the taxing load on your nervous system greatly reduces and your body is then able to recover easily and normally from daily stresses and get back naturally to rest and digest mode which leads to better help and less DIS - EASE.

SCAR Release and Mobilization:

ANY surgery scar or non-surgery scar i.e.

C-section, Laproscopic, back surgery, abdominal ect, carpal tunnel, plastic surgery, mastectomy, tendon, bone, sprain injury, dental surgery, tonsillectomy, tatoo scars (yes they are scars and are a stressor)

Scars are a big reason that body may have constant stress from tightened fascia, tissue and electrical signal disruption.  They even cause stress while sleeping. 

    Any scars can cause stress or increase stress on the body, causing pain or problems at the scar sight, or affect the organs underneath the scar, affect limbs, muscles (think back , neck or shoulder pain) away from the scar site. Getting them released can reduce pain, increase range of motion, reduce anxiety, and help calm down your nervous system.  Helping calm the nervous system, allows your body to HEAL!

Releasing scars can help the body get nourishment to areas that weren't getting it and help the body flush out areas that were bogged and gunked up, improving lymph flow and circulation.

Scars, especially across the midline keep the brain from communicating to the lower limbs and keep the circulation and lymph from flowing back up the body properly causing a myriad of potential issues including decreased immunity, neuropathy and pain.

Scars can be from any surgeries, especially abdominal, but any surgery can cause long term pain, sensitivity, body wide pain, brain fog and aggravation to the nervous system giving you any of the symptoms of an up-charged nervous system which we mentioned above. 

Releases C-section scars!  So many of my clients have various symptoms or issues do to these scars including but not limited to pain, nerve pain, sensitivity, loss of feeling, numbness, decrease muscles activation, saggy skin over the top of it, muffin top ( as some call it), bladder issues ect. , even brain fogs and depression. Dolphin scar therapy can be used to release these C-section scars as well as  


 

Activating the VAGUS Nerve 

The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve. It innervates all of the organs and helps them work automatically and autonomically.  It this nerve is properly turned "on" and working properly, then your system will work well.  If you are stressed and this nerve is not turning back on, then that means you have poor vagal tone, increased cortisol, increased heart rate ect. Continued stress is not good for the body or heart.  Using acupuncture points, treating scars, releasing tense muscles, can decrease the constant stress on the system and allow the vagal nerve tone to increase.  Research shows a 50-80% increase in vagal nerve tone with dolphin therapy.  We also use the vagal nerve stimulator which activates the vagus nerve and calms the system which in turn can improve the outcomes of any therapy you receive and your ability to digest, sleep (rest) and concentrate. 



Mental Health

This is done by treating the nervous system! When the vagus nerve is turned back on, and the stress on the body reduced, mental health improves!! Then we can help identify other sources (scars) and blocked communication within the brain and body that can be treated and further un-tax the nervous system. Even birth trauma can affect the brain and be treated, and birthmarks can be an aggravation to the nervous system and those can be treated and released. Scars can hold emotions and trauma and even a remembrance of events.  Getting these treated can release underlying causes of anxiety and other mental health issues. Women are much more likely (30% more) likely to get anxiety than men, but both sexes can get anxiety from the affects of surgical scars and concussions and other traumas.

In some instances (birth trauma, whiplash, concussions, headwounds, face wounds, anxiety ect) treating the brain can improve brain balancing, cerebral spinal fluid flow and nourishing, release restrictions in brain fascia and release scars from traumas and micro-traumas, including emotional disturbances which can GREATLY improve mental health!


Auricular Therapy

The ear has been treated since at least 500 BC to address issues with the body. There is a map of the body on the ear and its an extremely effective and quick way to treat 

  • Low back pain, Neck pain, SI joint pain
  • Shoulder, elbow, wrist issues/pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Anxiety, depression, 
  • Addiction
  • Parkinsons
  • Brain and nervous system balancing
  • Hormone Balancing


Treating BRAIN issues 

Concussions, TBI, Post Stroke, Parkinsons, Neurological issues

 None of the brain injury conditions or neurological conditions can be treated properly without addressing the nervous system.  Calming the nervous system allows therapy and treatment of the neurological system to be affective.  Most therapies you do for any of these conditions will not work if the system is in fight or flight. 

Additionally, if you have an issue in the brain, almost always the gut also has an issue.  The gut brain axis is very inter-related and , addressing the nervous system makes these both treatable.

To calm the system, we use acupuncture points to calm and balance the nervous system, and then we treat the cranial sutures of the skull, which helps "release" them which allows them to properly move with their natural rhythm and allows the brain sulcuses which exchange cerebral spinal fluid properly again. This also eases the nervous system.  The dolphin current helps restore action potential to the brain cells and increases ATP production.  With concussions and brain injuries, the ATP production reduces by 400% and makes it very hard to have enough energy.  The dolphin therapy increases ATP production and helps the cells so the can act properly again. Research shows that the neuroplasticity (brains ability to make new neuropathways) increases with dolphin use, and damaged areas of the brain show significant improvement on imaging after treatment!  The dolphin therapy helps put the brain waves in gamma waves state which is putting the brain in a more enlightened state. 
Treating the sutures of the brain can help release the spine (neck and back) and hips to  treating a persons major scars which affect the nervous system. 



Imaging shows the damage before treatment, and after treatment ( this is with 2 short sessions of treatment)

I also use what I have learned through Concussion Management program and I highly recommend enrolling in the concussion fix program to help educate yourself how to help yourself heal and to have a community of people that also are learning to take helpful steps towards healing and reclaiming their lives.   

Treating Learning Difficulty
in Children and Adults
Dyslexia, and Difficulty learning to read, write, do math, ect. can affect many adults and children.  Many can have neurological blocks to learning their letters, combining them to sound out words, to spell or they have.  This can be due to birth trauma, falls, emotional trauma, genetics, chemicals, issues due to toxic heavy metals injuries, toxins from food  and upcharged nervous systems. 

We start by calming the nervous system so the body can benefit from treatment. We treat the brain, by releasing the sutures (see paragraph above) and we use acupuncture points (electronically) and auricular (ear) points to balance the brain, that we use to help switch the brain if the brain is interpreting things backwards or flipped (dyslexia ect).  There are also sensory points that help reduce and balance sensory issues, allergy issues and acupressure points that help regulate emotions, and stomach and large/small intestines points ect that help with gut health which is greatly connected to brain health! We also treat the major body scars  and head scars to reduce the taxing of the nervous system. Combining these with calming the nervous system help the child or adult to be more balanced and get through brain blocks and disconnects that have been happening as well as help all of the cranial nerves and gyri to get proper nourishment through treating the brain. 

TREATING DIGESTION ISSUES:

Many practitioners try to treat the symptoms of this, but it usually is just a mask of whats really happening. Without looking at the nervous system, the digestion cannot be properly treated! If the nervous system is in " fight or flight or freeze" stress mode, then the blood goes to the muscles and away from the digestive system. The digestive system is turned off to varying degrees making it difficult to digest food.   Some people get nauseous often, or are not hungry, or can't eat, or have stomach aches ect.  This is due to the dorsal branches of the vagal nerve having been "turned off" to some degree due to being in fight or flight.  The vagal nerve needs help being turned back on which we can easily passively do by using our vagal nerve stimulator. We will also educate you on ways to turn your own vagal nerve back on and calm down your system.  Further, we will help you identify what else can be causing your stress including surgery scars, head scars, any midline scars, emotional scars, traumas ect. 

There is so much fascia that goes through the mid-section of the body, and the vagus nerve goes right through all of this fascia as it activates the organs.  If scar tissue is affecting its ability to activate the digestive organs and communicate with them, then digestion will be compromised.  If you are in fight or flight, the body does not produce the digestive enzymes it normally would to help optimally digest your food. Treating the scars and spinal nerves as well as acupressure points to enhance digestion. 

Post-Covid or long-covid syndrome 
Many have long term effects from covid, like fatigue, brain fog, not feeling like themselves, not able to work a full work week or have energy for anything else or even enjoy their life or family like they used to. Their immune systems may be down, catching colds and sickness more easily, and not functioning like they used to.  This can be a result of high stress time like covid, getting covid, or other illness or stressors.   Calming the nervous system and using the vagal nerve stimulator can re-regulate the nervous system, helping you feel like you again! There is hope when we are able to recognize that is a nervous system upcharge issue and treat it as such.

Activating acu-pressure points to treat many health issues

Some examples of this are using the dolphin on acupressure points to treat 
  • headaches
  • anxiety
  •  stress
  •  digestion issues
  •  chronic or current coughs
  •  allergies 
  • post-concussion points,
  • Post PARTUM DEPRESSION and to tonify the kidneys and liver and spleen post partum
  • post liver infection, 
  • and for reducing pain. 
  • nausea
  • depression
  • help the body re-establish communication within itself after surgery,
  • injury
  • emotional trauma
  • sickness
  • increase coordination and circulation
Pain Management:  All natural drug free pain relief

    I have used this as a treatment by itself or in conjunction with other treatments to reduce pain and promote healing. Some examples are: to help with re-occurrent back pain, many modalities and techniques including McKenzie method, massage, chiropractic, anti-inflammatory supplements, meds, cupping, lidocaine have been used, but, since treating with the dolphin, the back pain has ceased to re-occur.  


Managing illness or Stress
 Post concussion, chronic fatigue, Lymes, fibromyalgia, high stress lifestyle
I use the Dolphin vagal Nerve stimulating attachment  to help activate the vagus nerve which in turn decreases anxiety, improves digestion, healing, reduces headaches, improves breathing and improves ability to sleep and sleep quality.    This is especially helpful if you have or had any kind of sickness especially CHRONIC FATIGUE, LYME's, post-concussion syndrome, any chronic condition you suffer from that causes increased anxiety, chronic pain or just a stressful lifestyle (having a full time job, being a mom, a coach, a boss ect.) If your nervous system is upregulated, this therapy can help balance it, getting you out of a fight or flight mode that pushes the blood flow to the extremities so you can flee, but, if you stay in this mode, the increased cortisol, decreased sex hormones, the decreased blood flow to your organs and brain can really take a toll on health. Re-balancing the nervous system can return you to a balanced healing mode in which you can make better decisions, feel less overwhelm and tolerate normal stressors which much more ease.


DIABETIC NEUROPATHY

SCAR RELEASE CASE STUDIES: 
  • The dolphin can release scars from injuries (even old injuries) in just a few treatments. 
  • Female in her 60's suffered an injury to her left wrist and forearm from trying to pull an extremely heavy mail cart,  tearing and straining multiple tendons and fascia in the wrist and both sides of the forearm. She had month of PT and has self treated with Laser Therapy over the years with mediocre results.  
    • After 3 treatments with the Dolphin to release scars and mobilize tissue : Pt demonstrated at least a 60% increase in mobility and significant increase in her ability to use her wrist increasing her ability to function at home and at work with over 50% reduced pain with wrist movement and use, and less compensation and wear and tear on her other joints caused by her wrist's lack of mobility.
  • Male in his 50's 
    • Received bilateral carpal tunnel surgery two weeks prior and his wrist extension with 32 degrees, and 30 degrees, his flexion was 40 degrees with the goal of each to be near 90 degrees. So , he had a major loss of motion and soreness.   
    • After 2 scar treatments, his ROM increased to near normal with 70% decreased soreness and 85% decrease in stiffness.
