Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider IMS or dry needling?
If you have chronic pain or stiffness that has not improved with exercise or manual therapy alone, IMS may be appropriate.
Is it the same as acupuncture?
No. While both use fine needles, IMS is focused on releasing tight muscles and nerve-related pain, while acupuncture is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles.
Does it hurt?
Some patients feel a brief cramp or twitch in the muscle, but the sensation usually passes quickly and is followed by relief.
How many sessions are needed?
This depends on your condition. Some patients feel results after one treatment, while chronic conditions may need several sessions.
