IMS / Acupuncture

IMS has been proven to be effective in the treatment of chronic injuries as well as injuries which have not responded to conventional physiotherapy treatment. IMS involves an assessment of the injured area and determination of whether the pain has a neurologic source. The technique involves the insertion of a fine, flexible acupuncture needle into muscles which have become shortened due to abnormal stimulation from the nervous system. The needle causes the muscle to contract, which leads to a reciprocal relaxation and lengthening of the muscle. Nothing is injected into the tissues. Many clients find they are sore for about 24 hours following the treatment, and then report a decrease, or in some cases, complete resolution of their pain symptoms.

Conditions that may benefit from IMS treatment include:

  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
  • Chronic Lower Back Pain
  • Whiplash injuries of the neck
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Osteoarthritis of the hip
  • Frozen Shoulder

Chantelle Poon does acupuncture, while Mike Wall, Jonathan Poon, Charles To, Tony Cruz, and Aart van Gorkum do IMS.
