Okanagan Physiotherapy & IMS is a physiotherapy clinic that specializes in the use of Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) for the treatment of a variety of acute and chronic conditions. IMS can only be performed by a qualified Medical Doctor or Registered Physiotherapist who has extensive post- graduate experience.
It involves the insertion of a hair- thin needle deep into damaged/dysfunctional muscle tissue to release any abnormal tension/tightness or knots' that have developed. The needle does not stay in you, it is a quick penetration in and out very rapidly. It is the only tool available that can penetrate deep enough inside soft tissues to reach the deepest layers of muscle, which are often the source of pain.

In 2009 while picking cherries in our yard, the ladder I was on broke and I was sent to the Kelowna Hospital with a T-12 compression fracture to my back. After 10 months of wearing a back brace 24/7, I was finally able to remove it.
I was still experiencing muscle spasms and a great deal of pain, and after consulting with my neurosurgeon, I was told that this was typical from the injury I had incurred and that I would need to remain on pain medication for the rest of my life.I was not content to hear this solution, so I spoke to my daughter who had been seeing Cory Garman for back pain caused by a car accident.

In Canada, an estimated one in four people, aged 15 or older, live with chronic pain, according to recent studies. Chronic pain is usually defined as an episodic or constant pain that is not easily relieved, with a duration of longer than 6 months.
Many people experiencing chronic pain report their condition as elusive, which makes diagnosis and treatment very difficult, particularly when there's no visible point of injury or inflammation present.Many turn to medications, traditional treatments, such as physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment or massage - which may offer inconsistent results, often without long-term relief.
