IMS (Dry Needling)

What is IMS (Dry Needling)?

IMS, or Dry Needling, is an effective technique used to address muscle pain, trigger points, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific muscle knots or tight bands to relieve tension and promote natural healing.

Key Benefits

Targeted Pain Relief

IMS/Dry Needling is a technique used to treat trigger points and muscle stiffness, and involves inserting needles into tight muscle knots “trigger points” to alleviate pain and tension. This targeted approach helps to release tight muscles and promote relaxation.

Muscle Relaxation

IMS/Dry Needling helps relax overactive muscles by causing a reflex response. The needles stimulate the muscles, triggering a release of tension and promoting improved blood flow to the affected area. This can lead to reduced muscle spasms and improved muscle function.

Improved Range of Motion

By addressing muscle tightness and trigger points, IMS/Dry Needling can enhance your joint mobility and flexibility. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing restricted movement due to muscle stiffness.

Accelerated Healing

The microtrauma caused by the insertion of needles prompts the body’s natural healing response. This can lead to increased circulation and the release of endorphins, which aid in pain relief and promote tissue repair.

Complementary to Additional Treatments

IMS/Dry Needling can be used alongside other physiotherapy techniques and exercises, making it a versatile option for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. It can enhance the effectiveness of your overall treatment plan.

Drug-Free Approach

Unlike some pain management methods that rely on medications, IMS/Dry Needling offers a drug-free alternative. This can be particularly appealing for those looking to avoid potential side effects of medication or reduce their reliance on painkillers.
