Needle-based treatment â traditional acupuncture and intramuscular stimulation (IMS) â used to release deep muscle tightness, calm nerve-related pain and support recovery alongside physiotherapy.
Especially effective for stubborn muscle tightness and nerve-related pain that hasn't fully responded to other treatment alone.
A calm, controlled treatment â most people find it far more comfortable than they expect.
Your practitioner identifies the muscles and trigger points driving your pain, and confirms acupuncture/IMS is the right fit.
Fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points â most people feel only a brief sensation, if anything at all.
Needles remain in place for a short period while your muscles release tension, often with a noticeable feeling of relief.
Often paired with manual therapy or exercise in the same visit for a more complete, longer-lasting result.
Most people feel little to no discomfort â sometimes a brief muscle twitch or dull ache at the point, which fades quickly. Needles are much finer than injection needles.
Traditional acupuncture follows meridian-based points; IMS is a Western medical approach targeting specific tight muscle bands and trigger points related to nerve irritation.
Many extended health plans include acupuncture coverage. We'll confirm your coverage and offer direct billing where available.
Some people feel relief after one session; chronic issues typically benefit from a short series. Your practitioner will discuss a plan after your first visit.
