IMS/Dry Needling
IMS/Dry Needling
IMS and Dry Needling are effective techniques used to treat myofascial pain and dysfunction. These therapies involve the insertion of fine needles into trigger points within the muscles to release tightness, reduce pain, and improve function. While both methods utilize needles, they are based on different principles and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a treatment developed by Dr. Chan Gunn, which focuses on relieving chronic pain that originates from the musculoskeletal system. IMS targets the deep muscle tissue, addressing pain caused by nerve dysfunction and muscle shortening. This technique is particularly effective for conditions such as chronic back pain, sciatica, and other nerve-related issues. On the other hand, Dry Needling is a broader term that encompasses the use of fine needles to stimulate trigger points or tight bands of muscle. This technique is used to release muscle knots, decrease muscle spasm, and promote healing. Dry Needling is commonly used to treat conditions like tension headaches, shoulder pain, and sports injuries.
Both IMS and Dry Needling provide significant relief from chronic and acute pain by addressing the underlying muscular and neurological issues. By releasing tight muscles and trigger points, these techniques enhance flexibility and range of motion. Needling helps to relax overactive muscles, reducing tension and discomfort. Additionally, the insertion of needles stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting faster recovery from injuries. These techniques allow for precise targeting of problematic areas, providing effective and localized treatment.
At King George Physiotherapy and Bear Creek Plaza Physiotherapy, our experienced physiotherapists are trained in the safe and effective application of IMS and Dry Needling techniques. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment to understand your specific condition and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. During the assessment, we take into account your medical history, symptoms, and any previous treatments you have undergone. Based on the assessment, our physiotherapists will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The IMS/Dry Needling procedure involves the careful insertion of fine needles into the targeted muscles. While the insertion may cause brief discomfort, most patients experience significant relief and improved function following the treatment. Our therapists ensure that the procedure is performed with the utmost care and precision to maximize its benefits and minimize discomfort. Our physiotherapists have extensive training and experience in IMS and Dry Needling techniques. We provide individualized treatment plans that are specifically designed to address your unique needs and goals. Our clinic offers a wide range of physiotherapy services, allowing for a holistic approach to your health and well-being.
