MPS Therapy for Children in Kanata & Orleans, Ontario

What Is MPS Therapy?

MPS Therapy, also known as Microcurrent Point Stimulation, is a specialized treatment approach that uses very low-level electrical current to stimulate specific points on the body.

At On The Ball Pediatric, MPS Therapy is delivered using Dolphin Neurostim, a handheld device designed to support neuromuscular function and nervous system balance.

Unlike traditional electrical stimulation, microcurrent operates at intensities that closely match the body’s natural electrical signals. This allows treatment to be:

• Gentle and well tolerated by children
• Non-invasive and needle-free
• Easily integrated into pediatric therapy sessions

How Dolphin Neurostim Works

Dolphin Neurostim uses targeted microcurrent to stimulate acupuncture points, trigger points, and areas of neurological relevance. This process helps:

• Support communication between nerves and muscles
• Reduce pain signals
• Promote tissue healing
• Encourage nervous system regulation

For pediatric clients, this approach is especially valuable because it does not rely on forceful techniques and can be adapted to each child’s sensory needs, tolerance, and goals.

MPS Pain Management Therapy

Children can experience pain from injuries, neurological conditions, growth-related stress, or chronic movement challenges. MPS Pain Management Therapy focuses on calming irritated nerves and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

This approach may be used to support:

• Musculoskeletal pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Chronic pain patterns
• Post-injury discomfort

MPS Therapy is often combined with physiotherapy and occupational therapy strategies to create a comprehensive, child-centered plan.

MPS Scar Release Therapy

Scar tissue can interfere with movement, sensation, and nervous system signaling—especially in growing bodies. MPS Scar Release Therapy uses microcurrent to gently address restrictions and sensitivity associated with surgical scars or injuries.

This therapy may help:

• Improve tissue mobility
• Reduce scar-related pain or sensitivity
• Support functional movement and comfort

By addressing scars at a neurological level, MPS Therapy supports more efficient movement patterns and improved participation in daily activities.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation with MPS Therapy

The vagus nerve plays a critical role in regulating stress responses, digestion, emotional regulation, and overall nervous system balance. Through targeted microcurrent application, MPS Therapy can be used to support vagus nerve stimulation in a gentle, child-appropriate way.

This may be beneficial for children who experience:

• Emotional regulation challenges
• Sensory processing difficulties
• Stress-related symptoms
• Autonomic nervous system imbalance

Supporting vagal tone can help the body shift toward a calmer, more regulated state—enhancing participation in therapy and daily life.

Concussion Therapy Using MPS

For children and youth recovering from concussions, MPS Therapy can be used as part of a broader, integrated rehabilitation plan. Microcurrent stimulation supports neurological recovery by helping regulate nerve signaling and reducing symptom burden.

MPS Therapy may be used alongside physiotherapy and occupational therapy to support:

• Headache management
• Sensory sensitivity
• Balance and coordination challenges
• Cognitive and nervous system fatigue
