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.
Ready to experience the benefits of Ottawa vagal nerve physiotherapy? Contact PhysioCare today to schedule your consultation and discover how VNS can support your healing journey.
Disclimar: Vagal Nerve Stimulation may not be suitable for everyone. Our team will assess your health history before treatment.

EXCELLENT Based on 455 reviews Posted on Jack ScriveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After working a desk job for over 45 years, I got a very bad posture and lots of pain. I originally saw Gunjan Vermani, she was very thorough in her initial examination and came up with a plan that fit my condition perfectly. I then saw Mehul Patel, another great therapist. He is now treating my condition. All the staff are very kind and pleasant which make for a very friendly atmosphere.Posted on Marisela CastilloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vijay gave very good service , very nice and friendly people.Posted on Tracey SametzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Physiocare create a strong and professional healing environment. The best physio team I have ever experienced 💜Posted on Jocelyne MoskalukTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to start! I came to this clinic hopeful of progress on an ongoing injury that went undiagnosed for 5 years and was referred by my neurologist as what felt like my last resort considering it was a 50 min drive one way and I had to attend twice a week. I was afraid it was going to be the same outcome as all the other past experts I've consulted for my very particular situation. Vani and her amazing team have really done a lot of positive in my life these last few months. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this clinic and the employees working here. You immediately feel cared for from the moment you step in to the moment you pay and walk out. Something very incredible happened in my last visit that I gladly want to share. I am a privacy expert in the Federal Government for the last 20 years and consistently stress the importance of privacy protection and raising awareness around this area. While I was on the traction machine, I overheard one of the employees raising awareness to their staff in a meeting on this particular subject and this made my heart happy. They indeed take privacy protection and privacy breaches very seriously. She did it in an utmost professional manner including citing the act. This is very important to me and I know it is for everyone else as it should. Just know that this is your place full stop. I don't think there is any other better place. To all the staff: thank you all for your amazing services. You are indeed #1 and your professionalism outshines anything. Keep smiling and helping us getting better one appointment at a time.Posted on Abir BarakaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience with Marwa’s osteopath services. She is highly professional and made me feel at ease right away. Her technique was both effective and comforting, helping me feel relaxed and well cared for throughout the session. I definitely plan to book another appointment with her, highly recommended!Posted on Joanna van HaastrechtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional and caring therapists. Nishika and staff are wonderful.Posted on Alpesh GujjarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Physiocare for the past 4 years whenever I need physiotherapy, and they’ve always been great. Dr. Vijay and Dr. Mehul have both been a big help over the years. On my recent visit, Dr. Vijay treated my neck pain and did an excellent job—I'm feeling much better now. The staff is always friendly, and the clinic is clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend Physiocare for anyone looking for quality physiotherapy treatment.Posted on Maureen PatrickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very pleased with the care I received, and have follow up appointments already booked.
