Most people recover from an injury within two months through their body’s natural ability to heal combined with physiotherapy. However, this is not always the case for everyone.
Shortening of muscles or tendons across a joint as a result of an injury can lead to excessive wear and tear on the joints causing early osteoarthritis. This can also lead to conditions such as tendonitis.
Combined with physiotherapy, Easthill Physiotherapy & Acupuncture provides pain relief through a technique called intramuscular stimulation (IMS). IMS is an effective treatment with very few side effects.
Developed by Dr. Chan Gunn of the Institute for the Study and Treatment of Pain, the procedure uses acupuncture needles to treat pain of a neuropathic origin or nerve dysfunction. This needling technique releases the muscle tension for pain relief, stimulate the healing process, and promote normal joint mechanics.
If you’d like to speak with someone further about our physiotherapy services, including IMS, let us know. You can either call us call or send us a message through our contact page and one of our team members will assist you. We are also available for in-person and virtual presentations on this topic to your organization.
You can also schedule an appointment now through our online booking tool.
IMS or Intra-muscular stimulation is a great treatment option for those suffering from acute and chronic pain. Most people with injuries will recover and become functional within eight weeks. Others may not. IMS can often help those with ongoing pain. Read More »

Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture Clinic has protocols to ensure the utmost safety for our patients, team and community. We have worked hard to protect our public health during this pandemic. Medical masks are mandatory for all staff and patients to keep everyone safe, and we appreciate your commitment.
We continue to follow the guidelines and protective measures indicated by our regulatory boards and governments. Our team has also had extensive training on our new protocols, and we are all 100% committed to ensuring our patients’ safety.
This is the new normal.
All patients and staff will be screened before each visit. Unfortunately, anyone showing signs of respiratory infection will be unable to come into the clinic. We will encourage and book virtual physiotherapy appointments for those that need help but are symptomatic if a client is at greater risk or for anyone who is not comfortable coming into the clinic.
We have the highest standards for hand hygiene and cleaning. All equipment and rooms will be disinfected after each use, frequently touched surfaces will be sterilized, and personal protective equipment will be used in all appropriate situations. Patients and staff will have hand washing stations to ensure proper frequent hand hygiene.
We also understand that it is necessary to reduce the risk of transmission with physical distancing. To do this, we have installed plexiglass barriers, reduced the number of appointments available by spreading them out and designed an optimal patient flow that minimizes contact with other patients and staff before and after appointments. Our team is also committed to practicing these as measures of hand hygiene and physical distancing outside the clinic to be safe when they return to work.
Although it may seem different with the steps we need to take, the Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture team is still the same! We still believe in the same values and are here to provide an extraordinary physiotherapy experience. This is not going to change. Our goal is to keep all of us healthy and happy.
Our fabulous admin team is available to book in-clinic appointments now. Or if you prefer a virtual physiotherapy visit, we can book that too. Please call us at 250-545-2922 to book an appointment or if you would like more information.
