Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)

 What is Intramuscular Stimulation?

Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is an effective treatment for chronic pain of neuropathic origin. Although IMS uses implements adapted from traditional acupuncture, it is based on scientific, neurophysiologic principles. The acupuncture needles used are very thin you may not even feel it penetrating the skin. The effects of IMS are cumulative- needling stimulates a certain amount of healing, until eventually, the condition is healed and the pain disappears. Some patients treated with IMS have remained pain-free for over 20 years.
