Dry Needling / IMS

Do you have aches and pains that do not seem to go away? Has an X-ray, CT Scan or MRI showed no visible sign of injury but your pain persists anyways? Have you been suffering with chronic neck, back, shoulder, arm or leg pain? If you answered YES, to any of the above questions, IMS may be for you!

IMS works by desensitizing nerves and muscles using acupuncture needles. The goal of an IMS treatment is to restore the flow of impulses in a peripheral nerve, restore muscle function and relieve pain. With IMS, the needle elicits a reflex causing the muscle to “jump” or release (this is normally where patients say “ouch” or use other adjectives). Insertion of the needles also stimulates healing to the affected muscles by stimulating the body to increase location circulation and activate its healing systems.
