BENEFITS OF IMS BURNABY

IMS burnaby offers numerous benefits for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It provides immediate pain relief, allowing patients to return to normal activities more quickly. IMS is also effective in addressing the underlying causes of pain, such as muscle imbalances and scar tissue formation.  If you are experiencing pain or limited range of motion due to trigger points, IMS may be the right solution for you. Our Physiotherapists will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your pain and develop a comprehensive treatment plan. This may include a combination of IMS, exercise therapy, and other therapeutic modalities.

Benefits of IMS 

1. Pain Management

One of the main benefits of IMS is its effectiveness in managing pain. By targeting specific trigger points in the body, IMS helps to release tension and alleviate pain associated with various conditions, such as muscle strains, tendinitis, and chronic pain. The insertion of fine needles into these points stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers that can help reduce pain and improve overall comfort.

2. Improved Mobility and Range of Motion

IMS therapy has been widely recognized for its ability to improve mobility and restore range of motion. By targeting tight muscles, IMS helps to loosen them up, allowing for greater flexibility and reduced stiffness. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing pain and limited movement as a result of conditions such as arthritis, stiffness, and muscle spasms.

3. Sports Injury Recovery

IMS has been found to be particularly beneficial for athletes and sports enthusiasts who are recovering from injuries. By targeting trigger points, IMS helps reduce inflammation, promote blood flow, and accelerate the healing process. This therapy is commonly used to treat sports injuries such as muscle strains, sprains, and joint injuries.

4. Stress Reduction and Relaxation

IMS therapy has a tranquilizing effect, reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation. The insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body stimulates the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters, which have calming effects. IMS therapy is often used in conjunction with other relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation, to further enhance the relaxation and stress-reducing benefits.

5. Improved Sleep Quality

IMS therapy has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels. By targeting specific trigger points, IMS helps to relax the body and the mind, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night. This therapy can be beneficial for individuals struggling with insomnia or other sleep disorders.

Our team of Physiotherapists have undergone extensive training and certification in IMS. They are well-versed in identifying trigger points and administering appropriate treatments. With their expertise, our Physiotherapists are able to provide personalized and targeted care, ensuring optimal outcomes for each individual patient.

TMJ SPECIALIST BURNABY

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint that connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the temporal bone, which is located in front of the ears on both sides. It is responsible for enabling the opening and closing of the jaw, enabling us to perform various functions such as speaking, eating, chewing, and yawning. Acupuncture TMJ Physiotherapy sessions aim to alleviate these symptoms by targeting specific acupuncture points throughout the body.

The TMJ is complex, consisting of various parts that work together to facilitate jaw movement. These include the mandible, the temporal bone, the meniscus, the articular disc, the articular tubercle, the glenoid fossa, and the distal ligaments. These components work together to stabilize the joint, allow for smooth movement, and ensure proper jaw alignment.

BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE FOR TMJ

Acupuncture offers several benefits for TMJ patients:

  1. Pain Relief

    Acupuncture can effectively reduce TMJ pain, providing immediate and long-lasting pain relief.

  2. Increased Mobility

    By targeting the muscles, ligaments, and tendons involved in the TMJ, acupuncture can help increase joint mobility and reduce stiffness.

  3. Stress Management

    TMJ disorders are often exacerbated by stress, and acupuncture can help manage stress levels and promote relaxation, which can improve overall TMJ symptoms.

  4. Long-term Relief

    Unlike pain medication, acupuncture offers long-term relief and can help prevent the recurrence of TMJ symptoms.

A targeted form of acupuncture, Nikhita Jain’s treatment for TMJ focuses mainly on acupuncture points across the jaw, neck, head, and face to address the root cause of the pain, discomfort, hindered mobility, and jaw misalignment associated with this condition.

Her TMJ acupuncture sessions aim to alleviate these symptoms by targeting specific acupuncture points throughout the body. By stimulating these points, we aim to increase blood flow and energy flow to the jaw area, promoting healing and pain relief.

Our TMJ specialist Burnaby in addition to improving circulation, acupuncture can also help reduce stress in the body. By targeting acupuncture points that are known for their stress-relieving effects, we can promote relaxation and reduce tension in the neck, head, and face, which can contribute to TMJ symptoms.
