What is Dolphin Neurostim?
Dolphin Neurostim is an FDA-cleared, needle-free medical device that applies concentrated microcurrent impulses to targeted acupuncture and trigger points. Known as Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS), this therapy naturally relaxes muscles, helps break down scar tissue, and regulates the nervous system to support cellular healing.
Key Benefits at ReStore Physical Therapy & Wellness:
Lasting Pain Relief: Helps address the root cause of back, neck, and joint pain rather than just temporarily masking symptoms.
Advanced Scar Release: Assists in breaking down restrictive surgical and C-section scars, promoting tissue mobility and reducing deep connective tissue discomfort.
Vagus Nerve Regulation: Shifts the body out of a heightened "fight or flight" state to help reduce internal inflammation and physical stress.
Needle-Free Therapy: A highly effective, non-invasive alternative to traditional acupuncture, administered right here in Lafayette.
How Does Dolphin Neurostim Work?
Traditional physical therapy often utilizes TENS units to help patients manage pain. While TENS uses an Alternating Current (AC) to temporarily block pain signals from reaching the brain, it doesn’t actively heal the underlying tissue.
Dolphin Neurostim takes a completely different approach.
MPS therapy utilizes Direct Current (DC), which closely matches the human body’s own natural electrical system. By applying this gentle microcurrent to specific neural pathways and soft tissue, the therapy literally recharges cellular metabolism. It increases local blood flow, promotes the synthesis of healing proteins, and prompts the body to release its own natural painkillers (endorphins).
You aren’t just numbing a sore back or a tight hip; you are actively supporting the body’s physical healing process.
Conditions Treated with Dolphin Neurostim at ReStore PT
Because MPS therapy directly targets the nervous system and cellular fascia, it is incredibly versatile. At our Lafayette clinic, we integrate Dolphin Neurostim into personalized physical therapy plans to treat:
Chronic and Acute Pain: Sciatica, lower back pain, neck tension, fibromyalgia, and osteoarthritis.
Scar Tissue and Adhesions: Post-surgical scars, C-section scars, mastectomy scars, and trauma injuries. (MPS therapy realigns collagen fibers to improve tissue glide and reduce the painful pulling sensation of deep scars).
Nervous System Dysregulation: Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) for stress management, post-concussion symptoms, anxiety, and autonomic nervous system balance.
Soft Tissue and Sports Injuries: Tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and TMJ/jaw dysfunction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dolphin Neurostim
Is Dolphin Neurostim painful?
No. It is a non-invasive, needle-free therapy. Most patients only feel a mild, soothing tingling sensation as the microcurrent relaxes the muscles and regulates the nervous system.
How is it different from a TENS unit?
While TENS units use alternating current to temporarily block pain signals, Dolphin Neurostim uses direct microcurrent to support tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and provide long-lasting relief at the cellular level.
How many sessions will I need?
While many patients feel relief after 1 to 3 sessions, chronic conditions or severe scar tissue may require a tailored physical therapy plan of 4 to 10 treatments for optimal, lasting results. Individual results may vary based on each patient’s unique condition.
