IMS/Dry Needling

IMS/DRY NEEDLING TREATMENT

At The Accident & Whiplash Clinic, our focus is on providing specialized physiotherapy treatments, including Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) or dry needling, tailored to individuals recovering from vehicular accidents and dealing with whiplash injuries. Our approach targets the relief of chronic pain and muscle tightness to facilitate a smoother and quicker return to everyday activities.

Benefits of IMS for MVA Injuries:

Pain Reduction: By desensitizing affected nerves and relaxing tight muscles, IMS helps decrease pain intensity.

Enhanced Mobility: IMS aids in restoring normal muscle length, which improves range of motion and function that may have been compromised after an accident.

Accelerated Healing: By increasing local blood circulation and encouraging the healing response, IMS can speed up recovery times.

Reduced Dependency on Medication: As pain and function improve, there may be a reduced need for painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs.

How IMS Works:

IMS involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles directly into areas of contracted muscles or near nerves exhibiting abnormal responsiveness. The goal is to release muscle tension, alleviate spasmodic muscles, and reduce muscular pain. This technique is particularly beneficial for MVA injuries because it addresses both the symptoms and the root cause of pain, which often includes nerve irritation and muscle shortening following trauma.

At The Accident & Whiplash Clinic, we are committed to helping you recover from your MVA injuries. Through the skilled application of IMS, we aim to restore you to your pre-accident health and well-being.
