Intramuscular Stimulation
TREATMENT
overview
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), also known as dry needling, is a highly effective treatment for chronic pain and muscle tightness caused by nerve irritation or dysfunction. Using ultra-fine, acupuncture-style needles, IMS targets taut bands of muscle (trigger points) that contribute to pain and limited mobility. By releasing these knots and stimulating the nervous system, IMS helps restore proper muscle function and relieve deep-seated tension.
At Gilbertson Chiropractic in Edmonton, IMS is often recommended for patients dealing with persistent back pain, neck stiffness, sciatica, and repetitive strain injuries. This therapy helps reduce pain, improve flexibility, and promote long-term healing.
