Abdominal adhesions, or bands of fibrous tissue that can develop naturally between tissues and organs as a result of surgery, are a condition being reported by physicians at  an increasingly alarming rate. Of the more than 1.3 million surgeries performed annually in the U.S., 90 percent of individuals that undergo an abdominal surgery for the removal of the gallbladder, as well as an appendectomy, hysterectomy, tummy tuck or Cesarean section (C-section), develop a scar and abdominal adhesions which later become evident with the onset of chronic abdominal pain or cramping.

While Western medicine recommends no action or a laparoscopic surgery to decrease adhesions, there is now an alternative non-invasive procedure known as Scar Release Therapy (SRT), which incorporates the Dolphin Neurostim, a gentle protocol of direct DC microcurrent.

When applied to each side of visible scars, the microcurrent of the Dolphin Neurostim enters deep into skin tissue, helping to electrically “repolarize” or release the thickened scar tissue, as well as release fascia and muscles impinged by the scarring. As a result, increased circulation helps the lymphatic system remove dead cells from the body and encourages blood flow, as well as healing to the area. This process returns mobility, improves appearance and decreases pain at the site of the scar and anywhere else in the body that scar may be affecting. In many cases, relief can be felt with one application

Although abdominal scars are the most problematic because they can affect digestion and result in small bowel obstruction, anyone that has had breast reduction or augmentation may also benefit from SRT. It is also possible to have scar tissue from moles and injuries that did not result in surgery (falls, whiplash, repetitive strain, carpal tunnel, sprains, etc). Fibromyalgia sufferers and epileptics may find relief by releasing scars.
