What Is IMS & Dry Needling?

Intramuscular Stimulation, or IMS, is a therapeutic technique developed by Dr. Chann Gunn in the 1970s. It focuses on evaluating and treating chronic pain, which is more complex and persistent than acute pain, often lasting longer than three months.

Thin, sterile needles are inserted into key muscular trigger points and corresponding muscles. This precise needling helps relieve pain by stimulating the muscles and promoting blood flow.

Dry Needling is a modern therapeutic technique used to treat muscular pain, also known as trigger point dry needling (TPDN). It targets “myofascial pain” – pain originating from trigger points in the muscles.

Fine, stainless steel filiform needles are inserted into the skin at specific trigger points. These points are often hard muscles or knotted areas that cause pain. The needles help release these knots, relieving muscle tightness and pain.
