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.
