Relieve Chronic Pain, Restore Movement
At Plus Physiotherapy in Brookswood, Langley, our Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) services offer a targeted, effective solution for chronic pain and muscle dysfunction. Our skilled practitioners use IMS to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing, helping you regain mobility and live pain-free. This specialized therapy complements our physiotherapy, chiropractic, and other services for a holistic approach to your recovery.
What is Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)?
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), also known as dry needling, is a technique that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate tight or dysfunctional muscles. By targeting trigger points and releasing muscle tension, IMS addresses the underlying causes of chronic pain, improves nerve function, and promotes natural healing. It’s particularly effective for conditions caused by nerve irritation or muscle shortening.
Benefits of IMS
Our IMS services provide a range of benefits, including:
- Chronic Pain Relief: Alleviate persistent pain in the back, neck, shoulders, or joints.
- Reduced Muscle Tension: Release tight muscles and trigger points to improve flexibility.
- Improved Mobility: Restore range of motion for daily activities or sports.
- Faster Recovery: Accelerate healing from injuries or overuse conditions.
- Enhanced Nerve Function: Address nerve-related pain caused by muscle dysfunction.
- Complementary Care: Pair IMS with physiotherapy or massage therapy for comprehensive results.
Our IMS Services
- Comprehensive Assessment: Detailed evaluation of your pain, movement, and muscle function to determine if IMS is right for you.

What to Expect During Your IMS Session
- Initial Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your symptoms, medical history, and movement patterns to create a tailored IMS plan.
- IMS Treatment: Fine needles are inserted into specific muscle trigger points, causing a brief twitch response to release tension. Most patients experience minimal discomfort.
- Post-Treatment Care: Receive guidance on stretches, hydration, or follow-up sessions to maximize benefits.
- Progress Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to track improvements and adjust your treatment plan.
Sessions typically last 20–40 minutes in our welcoming, patient-centered clinic in Brookswood. Wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow access to treatment areas, and bring any relevant medical records, such as imaging or insurance details for claims.
