Gunn IMS Short FAQ

Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn IMS):  A quick question and answer session
I've recently moved to London Ontario, and it was shocking to find out that I was the only physiotherapist in the city certified in performing Gunn IMS. This is a treatment that has gained much noteriety in the western provinces and has revolutionized how I practice. 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.
