Istop

This place literally saved my life. Well, not literally in that they kept me from dying, but literatlly in that they saved me from being in extreme pain all the time.
This is a pain clinic that practices IMS (Intra-​muscular Stimulation) which is a technique using accupuncture needles to stimulate irritated nerve/​muscle circuits. This is just a fancy way of saying that if you’re in pain, they’ll fix you up.
And that includes pretty much any kind of pain — carpal tunnel, muscle and joint pain, back pain, I saw a guy there on time who had nerve damage from getting his wisdom teeth out and they helped that too.
Prior to finding these guys, I was in extreme pain due to sciatica. I couldn’t walk more than a block. Standing upright was difficult. I was a walking version of that evolution diagram but in reverse. Whenever I went to my family doctor I was prescribed medication. My condition would improve slightly but the pain was still excruciating.
Finally, I found out about I-​Stop and I haven’t looked back ever since. Dr Chan Gunn, the guy who developed this proceedure, has received both the Order of British Columbia and the Order of Canada for his work in pain research. He doesn’t practice much any more but there are a few trained practitioners that work out of the I-​Stop headquarters.
They’re a non-​profit pain clinic. The initial assessment will cost you about $ 100 and treatments are $ 75 each after that. When I was in really bad shape, I went once a week. Now I just go every now and then for a tune up.
If you’ve been suffering from any kind of pain and haven’t found a good solution, give these guys a try. It can’t hurt.
