What is dry-needling IMS?

Dry needling IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into tight muscle bands or trigger points to release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Dry needling helps restore normal muscle function, decrease stiffness, and improve mobility. It is commonly used for chronic pain, sports injuries, muscle tightness, and movement-related conditions, supporting faster recovery and improved physical performance.

How Many IMS Treatment Sessions Do You Need?

The number of IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) treatment sessions needed varies depending on the condition, severity of muscle tightness, and individual response to therapy. Some patients experience relief after one or two sessions, while chronic or long-standing conditions may require multiple treatments. Your physiotherapist will assess your symptoms, movement patterns, and progress to create a personalized treatment plan. IMS is often combined with exercise therapy, stretching, and posture correction for better results. Regular reassessment ensures treatments are effective and adjusted as your muscles recover, helping achieve long-term pain relief and improved function.
