What is Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) Needling?

IMS is a total whole body system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes including muscle, joint, tendon, bursal, fascial, neural and biomechanical problems. IMS is grounded in Western Medical Science, and has a solid foundation in its radiculopathy model of pain, which is now supported by many experts in the field.

​

The treatment, which utilizes acupuncture needles are designed to penetrate deep within muscle tissue, and specifically targets injured muscles that have contracted and become shortened from distress.

What will IMS do for me?

  • The goal of treatment is to release muscle shortening, which presses on and irritates the nerve. Supersensitive areas can be desensitized, and the persistent pull of shortened muscles can be released. IMS is very effective for releasing muscles under contracture, which causes mechanical pain from muscle pull. IMS, in effect, treats the underlying neuropathic condition that causes the pain.
