What is Intramuscular Stimulation?

IMS is a system for the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain and many common musculoskeletal conditions.  It is grounded in western medical science based on the radiculopathic model of pain. This model is supported by many experts in the field. Radiculopathic pain, or neuropathy, occurs when a nerve link to a part of the body fails causing that part to become highly irritable and extremely excitable (often referred to as supersensitized).

Because of this, I decided to write up some answers to commonly asked questions about the technique. 

What is GunnIMS?
GunnIMS uses acupuncture needles to provide relief from pain and restore function to dysfunctional tissues. It was created by Dr. Chan Gunn of Vancouver, BC to aid in relief from chronic pain, but has since branched out to be used in many orthopaedic conditions and sports injuries as well.
