Frequently Asked Questions
How does IMS work?
IMS releases tight muscle and relive pressure on tendons, joints and nerves byinserting fine needles into the muscle. This activates the muscle's reflexes leading to relaxation, better blood circulation and restoration of normal function.
Both use fine needles. Acupuncture’s needle placement is define according to Eastern Medicine principles while IMS’ core philosophies lies on understanding of the human anatomy and neurology. The process of IMS works to diagnose and treat the pain from its neuropathic origin.
I’ve had acupuncture before. How will this be different?
The number of treatments required depends on an individual’s condition. Generally, if the pain or injury is recent, it may only need 2 therapy sessions. Factors like age and general health status may affect the length of treatment too.Typically IMS therapy is performed once every 2 weeks.
How many treatments do I need?
Upon treatment, tiny aching sensation might be felt when the needle is inserted into the affected muscles. The treatments are fairly short and for most cases, it is generally painless afterward but some patients may experience soreness for a day or two after their therapy.
Is it going to be painful?

Think of a hose. If you kink a hose, less water comes out. The same is true with a nerve. Muscle spasms "kink" fluid flow in the nerve. The nerve then becomes malnourished.
Malnourished nerves cause painful muscle spasms. When spasms persist, even with attempts to stretch or massage, it can lead to degenerative changes in your joints. IMS therapy is an effective solution to this problem
What IMS Therapy (Dry Needling) Does:
1. Stretch receptors in your muscle are targeted, resulting in an immediate relaxation of the muscle.
2. Gentle dry-needling causes a microtrauma in the muscle which brings blood to the area and helps it heal.
3. Electrical current now flows through the nerve properly, helping it to heal.
The result: an immediate reduction of muscle spasm, skin and joint pain, and increase in joint range.
