IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation):

IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) is based on current western research in neurophysiological principles.

IMS is an effective treatment for the relief of injuries caused by over sensitive nerves.

Acute or prolonged repetitive trauma can cause nerves to become irritated. Irritable nerves cause the muscles they supply to shorten and stay contracted. These shortened muscles can cause pain, as well as, pull on tendons, compressing joints and nerves. This can lead to common conditions such as tendonitis, repetitive strain injuries, and chronic pain syndromes.

IMS involves inserting fine needles into shortened muscles. The needle insertion changes the electrical energy in the muscle and stimulates the muscle to relax and returns to its normal length. The insertion of the needle also causes the release of a blood platelet growth hormone, which initiates and helps the healing process.

These physiological changes make IMS a valuable treatment for both acute and chronic injuries.
