Dry Needling & IMS Therapy in Edmonton
Release the tension in your muscles with our dry needling services.
Dry needling / intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is a technique, much like acupuncture, that uses fine needles inserted into taut bands of muscle to decrease tightness. During IMS treatment, knots within the muscles are loosened by targeting specific points along the muscle bands surrounding the center of pain and the affected segments.
Dry needling has been proven to be a very effective way to treat painful neuromuscular conditions. Studies have shown its effectiveness for both acute and chronic pain. It is safe and effective for a range of conditions.
The following are conditions that benefit from dry needling treatment:
- Headaches
- Frozen shoulder
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Leg pain
- Hamstring strains
- Shin splints
- Muscle spasms
