IMS Dry Needling in Lougheed.
Physiotherapist-delivered dry needling, aimed at the muscle that is actually driving your pain.
IMS DRY NEEDLING IN LOUGHEED
Why clients in Lougheed choose us.
At our Lougheed studio, IMS dry needling is delivered by a physiotherapist with post-graduate IMS certification. IMS, short for intramuscular stimulation, targets shortened, irritated muscle bands using neuropathic pain models, and it is done as part of a physiotherapy session.
If you are specifically looking for Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture with a Registered Acupuncturist, that service is available at our New Westminster, North Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Richmond (Broadmoor) studios rather than at Lougheed.
Most clients come in for a single complaint (chronic neck and shoulder tension, low-back pain, plantar fasciitis, or tension headache) and we match the treatment to that complaint.
IMS is booked as part of a physiotherapy session, so there is no separate referral to arrange.

FAQ
IMS Dry Needling in Lougheed: questions.
Can I get acupuncture at the Lougheed studio?
+
The Lougheed studio offers IMS dry needling with a physiotherapist, not Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture. For acupuncture with a Registered Acupuncturist, book at our New Westminster, North Burnaby, Coquitlam, or Richmond studios. Acupuncture follows TCM meridian theory; IMS targets shortened, irritated muscle bands. Different reasoning, similar tools.
Is IMS covered by ICBC at the Lougheed studio?
+
Yes, when delivered by a physiotherapist as part of a physio session. 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 to 4 sessions. Chronic presentations often need 6 or more visits paired with a home program to hold the change.
