Intramuscular Stimulation in Surrey
We understand that chronic pain can significantly impact your daily life and overall well-being. That’s why we offer advanced Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) treatments to help you find lasting relief.
IMS treatment is a sophisticated technique that blends elements of dry needling with precise therapeutic approaches, targeting underlying neuromuscular issues rather than just masking symptoms.
This innovative approach involves inserting fine needles into tight muscle bands, also known as trigger points, to relieve pain and improve mobility.
While it might sound uncomfortable, most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment.
What to Expect During an IMS Session
If you’re new to IMS, here’s what you can expect at your visit:
- During your initial consultation, our skilled chiropractors will take a detailed medical history and perform a thorough physical examination to identify problem areas and assess muscle tension and nerve irritation.
- We’ll explain the IMS procedure in detail so you know exactly what to expect before beginning.
- You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table while the practitioner sterilizes the treatment area to ensure a hygienic procedure. They will then insert the needles based on your specific areas of nerve and muscle dysfunction.
- While you might experience minor sensations initially, most patients find this subsides quickly, giving way to significant relief and improved mobility.
- Post-treatment sensations can vary from immediate relief to mild muscle soreness similar to that felt after exercise. We often recommend light stretching or gentle movement after treatment to optimize your results.
Real Results You Can Feel
In addition to immediate benefits, ongoing IMS treatments help address chronic conditions more effectively than many traditional methods by focusing on neurological function and muscle balance. Over time, this can result in enhanced mobility, improved posture, and an overall better quality of life.
If you’re tired of struggling with persistent pain that limits your ability to enjoy life fully, consider giving IMS treatment at Total Care Health a try.
With our expert team and gentle approach, your comfort and progress are our priority!
