IMS Needling
Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) needling is offered at Alpine (Danielle B) & Coastal Hand Clinic (Jeremy B).
It focuses on myofascial pain and helps relax muscles by inserting fine needles. Our practitioners assess each patient, targeting specific trigger points to relieve chronic pain, muscle tension, and conditions like repetitive strain injuries and post-surgery discomfort. Each session often leads to immediate muscle relaxation and better movement. We prioritize patient comfort and safety while customizing treatment plans to improve recovery and quality of life. -
Ultrasound and Laser
In hand therapy, laser and ultrasound treatments reduce pain, inflammation, and support healing.
Laser therapy uses light to stimulate cell repair, ideal for tendonitis and joint stiffness.
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves for deep heating, enhancing blood flow and relaxing muscles. Both methods promote faster recovery and improve hand function.
