IMS / Dry Needling

Enhancing Recovery at Golden Maple Physiotherapy

At Golden Maple Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge, we offer advanced treatments like Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) and Dry Needling to effectively address chronic pain, muscle tightness, and movement limitations.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), commonly known as Dry Needling, is an advanced therapeutic technique employed to address chronic pain, muscle tightness, and movement restrictions. This method involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points—hyperirritable spots within taut muscle bands. The primary objective is to alleviate myofascial pain and restore normal muscle function.This response indicates that the needle has effectively targeted the dysfunctional muscle tissue. The twitch response helps to:

Release Muscle Tension
By disrupting the contracted muscle fibers, the technique facilitates muscle relaxation.

Enhance Blood Flow
Needle insertion promotes circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for tissue repair.

Stimulate Healing
The process activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, accelerating recovery.
