What is IMS Treatment?
Intramuscular Stimulation, often abbreviated as IMS, is a therapeutic technique primarily used to alleviate chronic pain and muscle tightness. This treatment involves inserting fine needles into specific muscles that are often tight or knotted, which may be contributing to persistent discomfort. Unlike acupuncture, which targets energy flow, IMS focuses on stimulating the muscles themselves to release tension and improve function. By targeting the root cause of pain, usually stemming from nerve irritation or muscle shortening, IMS can offer relief and enhance mobility. It is commonly utilized for conditions like chronic back pain, neck pain, and myofascial pain syndromes. The process is generally considered safe and can be an effective option for individuals seeking relief from ongoing muscular pain.
