Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is a form of dry needling that can alleviate both acute and chronic pain and dysfunction. The needle used is a very fine, solid filament and there is no injection during the treatment. The needle is inserted into a trigger point where a muscle twitch is elicited followed by an immediate relaxation of that muscle. IMS is performed by our expert physiotherapists at Therapy X.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) involves the use of fine, acupuncture-like needles to stimulate specific muscles, promoting natural healing.
IMS focuses on tight, sensitive areas within the muscle known as trigger points.
During the treatment, a trained practitioner inserts fine needles into the targeted muscle areas.
The insertion of the needle causes a twitch response in the muscle, helping to release tension and promote relaxation.
IMS is effective in treating chronic tightness and pain that doesn't seem to get better, even when the injury that originally caused the issue is no longer there. IMS decreases muscular tension, increases mobility, decreases pain, increases blood flow, improves movement, and ultimately restores function and facilitates return to activity/sport.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It involves the use of fine needles, similar to acupuncture needles, to target tight muscles and trigger points. By stimulating these areas, it helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing.
IMS works by inserting fine needles into specific muscles where tightness or trigger points are identified. The needles cause a twitch response in the muscle, which helps release tension and restore normal muscle function. This process also increases blood flow and stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to reduced pain and improved mobility.
The number of treatment sessions required varies depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some clients experience significant improvement after just one to three sessions, a few sessions while others may require ongoing treatment for chronic conditions. Your therapist will assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.
