Dry Needling Therapy Edmonton / IMS Therapy

When you arrive for dry Needling at Momentum Spine and Sports Physiotherapy Clinic, our specialist will insert a sterile needle through your skin into affected parts of the body to reduce muscle tension, eliminate pain, and increase mobility back to normal.

Dry Needling and acupuncture have a slight similarity. But it is totally a different treatment process. The only similarity is that both treatments technique can be performed using a special needle. Dry Needling originated from modern scientific research of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. This technique requires placing a needle at trigger points to stimulate interaction and relaxation within the affected tissue.

Is the dry needling process painful?

Both acupuncture and dry needling can be a little bit painful. But you don’t have to be scared because all our Dry Needling Therapy Edmonton specialists, orthopedists, sports physiotherapists, and massage therapists are well-trained and experienced. So, they are going to make sure your treatment process is as painless as possible.

You may later experience muscle soreness with the next 24-48 hours after completing your dry needling treatment. Be calm because it will disappear on its own. You can also treat sore muscles at home by drinking plenty of fluids and through gentle movements.  Our Dry Needling Therapy Edmonton specialists are patient and have helped many recover from pains.
