In acupuncture and trigger point therapy, the insertion of needles has been scientifically proven to stimulate the release of powerful internal opiates called endorphins – the hormones that our bodies produce to naturally relieve pain (they’re also known as our “feel good” hormones). These natural pain relievers are secreted from the pituitary gland and are circulated throughout your body via your blood stream. Not only are these endorphins, or neurotransmitters, the most powerful pain relievers known to mankind, they enhance the immune system, reduce stress, and produce a feeling of euphoria – any runner who has experienced a “runner’s high” will be able to attest to this!

In acupuncture, when needles are inserted into specific acupuncture points they stimulate peripheral nerves, sending messages to our brain telling it to release endorphins. When these endorphins are released, they then block pain pathways to the brain. Low frequency microcurrent has been documented in scientific studies as being able to reproduce the endorphin release response found in traditional acupuncture needling. The Dolphin Neurostim was designed to duplicate the effects of acupuncture needling, but instead of needles, it uses this non-invasive low frequency microcurrent stimulation.

Duplicating the endorphin releasing effects of acupuncture has been made simpler and safer with the Dolphin Neurostim. The Dolphin comes with a easy to use manual that outlines a wide range of conditions and their accompanying treatment points for easy location. Furthermore, the Dolphin was built with the ability to help you find precise treatment points – you don’t have to guess at all.  Many people who use the Dolphin find they feel relief through endorphin release in a single session with the Dolphin, making it quicker, cheaper, and more effective than most options on the market.
