Intramuscular Dry Needling

Intramuscular Dry Needling (IMDN) is an advanced therapeutic technique used to relieve pain and restore function by targeting muscle trigger points—tight, irritated knots within muscle tissue.

  • At Advanced Care Veterinary Services, we use IMDN to help both small animals and horses recover from musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical discomfort.

  • By inserting fine, sterile needles directly into affected muscles, we can release tension, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body's natural healing response.

  • This treatment is especially effective for conditions such as:

    • Muscle spasms

    • Back pain

    • Lameness

    • Compensatory movement issues

    • Restricted range of motion
