Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) in Etobicoke
Reduce Pain • Release Tight Muscles • Restore Mobility
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) at Rapha Rehab, Etobicoke, is an advanced dry-needling technique that targets chronic muscle tightness and nerve-related pain.
Using fine, medical-grade needles, IMS releases deep muscle tension, improves mobility, and reduces nerve sensitivity that contributes to long-term pain.
Ideal for individuals with chronic, stubborn pain that does not respond to traditional therapy, IMS provides effective, targeted relief.
What is Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)?
IMS is a specialized treatment that involves inserting thin needles into tight or shortened muscles caused by irritated or hypersensitive nerves.
It helps:
- Release deep muscular tension
- Reduce nerve-related pain
- Improve mobility and range of motion
- Address chronic pain that persists beyond normal healing
- Correct underlying muscle imbalances
- Restore normal nerve-muscle function
- Reduce stiffness from postural strain or overuse
IMS is safe, precise, and highly effective for chronic conditions.
Intramuscular Stimulation Techniques We Use
At Rapha Rehab, IMS sessions may include:
- Targeted Dry Needling :
Releases tight, shortened muscles affected by nerve irritation.
- Trigger Point Deactivation :
Reduces pain by releasing knots that restrict movement.
- Neuromuscular Reset Techniques :
Restores normal muscle firing patterns.
- Deep Muscle Release :
Targets muscles that cannot be reached through massage alone.
- Functional Movement Reassessment :
Evaluates mobility changes after each treatment.
IMS may be combined with physiotherapy or exercise therapy for optimal results.
