Unlocking Healing Potential: IMS Physical Therapy in Abbotsford

IMS therapy, often called dry needling, is a type of physical therapy that focuses on myofascial trigger points, which are localized areas of muscle tension and hypersensitivity. Therapists induce a localized twitch reaction by placing thin filiform needles into these trigger sites, which releases muscular tension, improves blood flow, and relieves pain. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicinal principles, IMS therapy combines Western anatomical and neurophysiological concepts to treat musculoskeletal problems.
