IMS and Acupuncture
What is the difference between acupuncture and IMS / Dry Needling?
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) / Dry Needling is used to target tight, sensitive muscle bands that may be contributing to chronic pain or movement dysfunction. It works by releasing muscle tension, improving mobility, and reducing nerve irritation caused by muscle shortening.
Acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to help reduce pain, stimulate healing, and restore balance within the body’s systems.
