Are You Suffering from Chronic Pain?
IMS might be the answer!
Intamuscular Stimulation (IMS) is an anatomy-specific form of acupuncture performed by specially trained physiotherapists and some doctors. It is a very effective treatment for chronic pain of neuropathic origin. IMS was developed by Dr. Chan Gunn in Vancouver, while he was a Workers' Compensation board physician in British Columbia in the 1970s. Dr. Gunn has introduced "neuropathic pain", to describe the type of pain that occurs when nerves malfunction following minor irritation. Nerves and nerve-endings become extremely sensitive and cause innocent, harmless signals to be exaggerated as painful ones (Known as supersensitivity), even when extensive medical tests show there is nothing wrong.
