IMS (intramuscular stimulation, also known as “dry needling”) is a technique that uses thin acupuncture needles to release trigger points in muscles with the goal of decreasing pain, decreasing muscle tension and increasing mobility. IMS is an excellent treatment choice for persistent pain, postural pain and acutely tight muscles. It is not recommended for pregnant clients but is a great option postpartum.
