Physiocare Physiotherapy & Rehab Centre Ottawa
Hands‑on microcurrent expertise from Physiocare’s specialists eases pain, scars, and stress effectively.
Dolphin Neurostim Therapy uses gentle, targeted microcurrent pulses to help the body heal. By stimulating specific points on the skin, it can soften and repair scar tissue, calm the nervous system, and naturally reduce pain. Studies have shown that many people experience significant pain relief — often over 50% — after just one scar treatment.
This approach combines principles from neurology, acupuncture, and modern pain science to support faster, evidence-based recovery.
The Dolphin Neurostim delivers a very mild microcurrent (less than 1 mA) to specific points on the skin, such as acupuncture points or muscle trigger points. This gentle stimulation can calm an overactive stress response, lower cortisol (the “stress hormone”), and support healthy nervous system balance.
When applied to scar tissue, the therapy helps soften and restore mobility by encouraging healthy cell activity, improving blood flow, and supporting tissue repair. Research shows that many people experience significant pain relief — often more than 50% — after just one treatment, especially for chronic pain and stubborn scars.

At Physiocare, we offer Dolphin Neurostim Therapy to help relieve pain, improve movement, and support the body’s natural healing. This gentle, targeted microcurrent therapy can be effective for a variety of concerns, including chronic musculoskeletal pain, post-surgical or injury-related scars, and nervous system imbalances.
Our treatments are designed to:
This therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and supported by clinical research, making it a safe option for patients seeking effective pain relief and improved quality of life.
At Physiocare, our trained and experienced practitioners combine hands-on physiotherapy with advanced Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) technology to help relieve pain and improve mobility. We follow Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) guidelines and use evidence-based methods to ensure safe, consistent, and effective care.
A typical session begins with a thorough assessment and discussion of your concerns. We then locate key treatment points, apply the gentle Dolphin microcurrent therapy, and guide you through post-treatment tips to support your recovery.
Most patients attend 2–3 sessions per week until their treatment goals are met. Many report noticeable improvements — including reduced pain, better movement, and a greater sense of relaxation.

Looking for a natural way to support healing, reduce stress, and relieve pain? At PhysioCare Ottawa, we offer vagal nerve physiotherapy—a safe, non-invasive treatment that stimulates the vagus nerve to restore your body’s natural balance.
The vagus nerve connects your brain to vital organs and regulates the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and digest”). Through gentle electrical impulses, manual therapy, or guided breathing, vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote faster recovery.
VNS may help patients with:
At PhysioCare, our experienced physiotherapists combine evidence-based treatments with vagal nerve physiotherapy to help you recover faster, prevent setbacks, and achieve long-lasting results.
