Dry needling, or IMS, is a form of acupuncture that can help with increasing range of motion, decreasing muscular tightness, and decreasing pain. Unlike traditional acupuncture where the needles are inserted and left in the body for a specific amount of time (usually 15-20min), dry needling/IMS involves manipulating the needles for ~5-10 seconds after insertion to assertively stimulate the muscles. The needles are then taken out and not left in the body.
