C-Sections are the most commonly performed procedure in the US, with 1.3 million such surgeries performed annually, accounting for about 32 percent of all births. The surgical incision made through the abdomen requires cutting through skin, connective tissue, and the uterus, as well as adjusting the organs to deliver the baby. This form of childbirth typically has a much slower recovery time than that of vaginal child birth, with the trauma associated ranging from minimal to severe.

C-Section scars can be linked directly to internal adhesion formation, the detection of adhesions after visceral surgery is almost universally gauged at 97-100 percent. Abdominal adhesions often lead to such issues as irregular bowel movements, chronic abdominal pain, digestive disorders, endometriosis, intestinal obstruction, blocked circulation, stagnant energy flows, as well as negatively impact the sympathetic nervous system, enteric nervous system, and the fear reflex. Being located in the very core of the body, C-section can cause the systemic centralization of pain, as it is reported previously to negatively influence the psoas muscle, as well spinal and skeletal alignments.

It is presumed that C-section scars may be the hidden cause for millions of women suffering from CPSP, as the procedure itself can be responsible for a multitude of CPSP, including back pain, shoulder pain, and neuropathic pain. It has been found Direct Current (DC) Micro-current therapies which involve applying weak direct currents, have a positive result on pain management and autonomic nervous system regulation. DC Micro-current therapies below 1 milliamp are reported to activate ATP, protein synthesis, and increased metabolism, 3 key factors in cellular healing. Higher amplitude currents, those being above 1 milliamp, however was detrimental to these 3 key elements. This suggests that low amplitude DC micro- current is more beneficial to cellular regeneration than the amplitude stimulation. The Dolphin Neurostim can be used for such MPS therapies.
