FIMS (Non-surgical Treatment)

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is developed by Dr. Gunn (iSTOP) in Vancouver, Canada. It is a needing technique designed to treat the wrong information delivery system in the nerves by generating spinal reflex. Lower back pain can be caused by disc herniation or spinal stenosis. In general, however, it is often used by nerve edema, inflammation or nerve adherence.

Fluoroscopic-guided Intramuscular Stimulation (FIMS) is a treatment technique which is effective in healing nerve adherence or inflammation.
It exfoliates adhesion around the nerves by stimulating the deep part
of spinal muscles and improves blood circulation by stimulating nerves using
the C-arm. Since this process restores damages tissues to a normal state,
it is a fundamental treatment.
