Tight, Sore Muscles Make Daily Living Painful

Let our staff at Propel Sports Physical Therapy in Edmonton South help you escape the cycle of pain and body tension you’re living with:

  • Chronic pain in otherwise healthy muscles
  • Muscles that are always tight, stiff or taut
  • Muscles that are shortened and cause pain when stretched
IMS Therapy

IMS Therapy Breaks The Cycle of Pain and Tension

Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) therapy uses fine needles to identify muscles that are chronically taut or shortened and to stimulate blood flow to the area. By creating these micro-injuries to the muscles, the body’s natural healing process is stimulated. Increased blood flow and the “inflammation response” of the body helps the muscle receive additional nutrients and blood cells, triggering a relaxation in the muscle.

Your Muscles Will Thank You

Why keep living with constant soreness and stiffness in your arms, legs or back? IMS Therapy helps remove muscle tension, leaving you with a new sense of mobility and flexibility.

  • Walk, run and even bend over without sore muscles causing pain
  • Move more comfortably and naturally
  • Enjoy a better night’s rest without feeling tense or sore all over
  • Experience a greater sense of health and well-being

IMS & Dry Needling Edmonton South FAQs

IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation) Therapy is a treatment that involves inserting fine needles into tight or sore muscles to relieve pain and improve muscle function. It is based on dry needling techniques and is particularly effective for chronic pain conditions caused by muscle tightness and nerve irritation.

IMS Therapy and dry needling can effectively treat conditions such as chronic back pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, migraines, and neck pain. These techniques are particularly useful for addressing muscle tightness and pain that has not responded well to other treatments. By targeting the underlying cause of pain, IMS and dry needling help improve mobility and reduce discomfort.

Patients may experience a brief, cramping sensation during IMS Therapy as the needle stimulates the tight muscle, but this discomfort is usually short-lived. Most patients find the treatment tolerable and notice a significant reduction in pain afterward. Any soreness following the session typically resolves within a day or two.

The number of IMS Therapy sessions needed varies depending on the condition’s severity and the patient’s response to treatment. Some patients experience relief after a few sessions, while others with chronic conditions may require more extended treatment. Your therapist will assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
