IMS - INTRAMUSCULAR STIMULATION

Do you suffer from chronic or recurrent muscle pain? You may be suffering from chronic musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain caused by nerve irritation or dysfunction. The good news – we have successfully treated patients with these symptoms using intramuscular stimulation. (IMS)

Sometimes called “dry needling”, IMS is a technique our certified Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation practitioners use to release or lengthen muscles that are causing the chronic pain. Basically, very fine needles are inserted directly into the affected muscle in order to stimulate healing. The effects of IMS are cumulative as each individual needling session stimulates a certain amount of healing until eventually the condition can more fully recover and pain dissipates as muscles loosen.

A broad range of musculoskeletal conditions are now successfully treated using IMS, including:

Headaches
Achilles tendonitis
IT band syndrome
Back pain
Whiplash
Tennis elbow
Frozen shoulder
Stiffness in muscles and joints
