Trigger Point Release with Needles
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) or Dry Needling is a technique used to treat myofascial pain syndromes (chronic muscular pain). Performed with fine sterile needles, the technique consists of inserting them into the skin and muscle directly at trigger points. This works to release points of tension and provide muscular pain relief. Research has shown that this method may work to release tight muscles and provide relief from chronic standing pain.
IMS/Dry Needling are often used on the following conditions:
Tension Headaches
Whiplash
Muscle Strains/Sprains
Shin Splints
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Tennis Elbow
Back Pain
Sciatica
Plantar Facscitis
Achilles Tendinitis
Golfer's Elbow
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Hip Pain
and more....
