Dry Needling/ IMS uses very thin needles adapted from traditional acupuncture, and is based on scientific, neurophysiological principles. The goal of treatment is to release shortened muscles which press on and irritate the nerve. Supersensitive areas can be desensitized and the persistent pull of shortened muscles released. When the needle is inserted you will feel a peculiar sensation – like a muscle cramp – which is caused by the muscle grasping the needle. The needling causes your shortened muscle to intensify, then release and lengthen, disrupting the pain signals to give you relief.
