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.
