Acupuncture & IMS Dry Needling in Richmond.
Two needling traditions in one Richmond studio.
ACUPUNCTURE & IMS DRY NEEDLING IN RICHMOND
Why clients in Richmond choose us.
Richmond offers both Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture (by a Registered Acupuncturist, CCHPBC-licensed) and physiotherapist-delivered IMS dry needling. Both use thin filiform needles, but the reasoning is different — TCM follows meridian and pattern theory, IMS targets shortened, neuropathic muscle bands.
Most Richmond clients come for chronic neck and shoulder tension, persistent low-back pain, plantar fasciitis, tension headaches, sleep and stress complaints, or post-MVA presentations. We choose the modality that fits the assessment, not the other way around.
Both modalities in-house means if the first approach isn't moving the needle, switching tools doesn't require a new clinic.
