Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), or dry needling, is an advanced technique used to relieve muscle tightness, reduce pain, and restore normal movement patterns. Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into trigger points—areas of tension within the muscle—to stimulate a natural healing response. This helps release muscle shortening, improve circulation, and decrease nerve sensitivity that often contributes to chronic pain or stiffness.
At Pulse Physiotherapy, our trained therapists use dry needling as part of a comprehensive treatment plan designed to address the underlying cause of your discomfort. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, headaches, or postural strain, this therapy can complement manual techniques and exercise rehabilitation to achieve long-term relief and improved function.
