Some physical pains such as headaches, backaches, chronic muscle pain, or other musculoskeletal issues can be felt while not displaying symptoms like inflammation or tissue damage.

This type of pain is caused by nerve dysfunction that generally stems from chronic irritation that leads to shortened and sensitive muscle fibers. IMS relieves this type of pain by inserting a very thin needle directly into the site of the affected area.

The needle is usually removed right away, but in some cases, it will be left in the muscle for a short period of time. Once inserted, you may feel some discomfort in the area as the needle does its job of stimulating the muscle.
