Beyond Trigger Point Dry Needling
​
Setting the Standard in Safety and Effectiveness Since 1994
​

Gunn IMS is a total  whole body  system for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes including muscle, joint, tendon, bursal, fascial, neural and biomechanical problems. The approach, using intramuscular dry needling, is based on the neuropathic dysfunction model developed by Dr C. Chan Gunn. This model looks at the whole body, not just isolated areas of pain, and considers   dysfunction in the nervous system as the cause of persistent myofascial dysfunction and pain.
