IMS / ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY IN EDMONTON
IMS / Dry needling for stubborn pain. Effective for nerve pain, muscular pain, and tight muscles.
HOW DOES IMS/ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
IMS uses fine acupuncture needles to release tight muscles and knots.
The nerves send signals to the spinal cord, messaging the muscles to relax.
INCREASE BLOOD FLOW
Blood flow to the damaged area is increased, speeding healing.
RELEASE MUSCLE TENSION
Muscles loosen, instantly reducing tension and stiffness.
IMPROVE NERVE FUNCTION
Without pain signals cluttering the nerves, neural connections to muscles are improved.
QUICK PAIN RELIEF
Relaxed muscles stop sending pain signals along the nerves.
STIMULATE HEALING
The nervous system and muscles begin to repair and recover.
REDUCE CHRONIC PAIN
The inserted needle allows the practitioner to feel how deeper muscles are functioning.
