Acupuncture & IMS Dry Needling in Lougheed.
Two needling traditions, under one roof, chosen for what your tissue actually needs.
ACUPUNCTURE & IMS DRY NEEDLING IN LOUGHEED
Why clients in Lougheed choose us.
Lougheed is one of our studios that offers both Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture (by a Registered Acupuncturist under the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC) and IMS dry needling (by a physiotherapist with post-graduate IMS certification). The two look similar on the table but the reasoning behind needle placement is different.
Most clients come in for a single complaint — chronic neck and shoulder tension, low-back pain, plantar fasciitis, tension headache, sleep or stress issues — and we choose the modality that fits that complaint, not the other way around.
Both modalities in the same building means we don't have to refer you out to find the right fit.

FAQ
Acupuncture & IMS Dry Needling in Lougheed — questions.
What's the difference between acupuncture and IMS at Launch Rehab?
+
Acupuncture follows TCM meridian theory; IMS targets shortened, irritated muscle bands based on neuropathic pain models. Different reasoning, similar tools. We pick based on what your assessment shows.
Is IMS covered by ICBC at the Lougheed studio?
+
Yes, when delivered by a physiotherapist as part of a physio session. Acupuncture also has a separate ICBC pre-approval. Bring your claim number and our team handles the billing.
Does it hurt? How many sessions until I feel a difference?
+
Most clients feel a deep ache during needling and improvement within 2–4 sessions. Chronic presentations often need 6+ visits paired with a home program to hold the change.
