FIMS stands for Fluoroscopy Guided Interventional Musculoskeletal Adhesiolysis and Nerve Stimulation. It is a non-surgical pain management procedure that is globally acclaimed for its steroid-free and minimally invasive approach, making it the preferred choice for those who want to avoid the side effects of steroidal pain medication and complex surgery.
Did you know that FIMS can be just as effective as surgery? That’s because it works by activating proprioceptors, the nerve endings in your muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are responsible for body position, motion, and force. Pain often shows up as a result of damage to these nerves due to injury or the burden of daily, repetitive motion.
Physical therapy is crucial for long-term pain alleviation. Our expert physicians conduct thorough assessments of your body function to identify issues like poor posture, mal-alignments, and balance impairments. To better understand the overall condition of your musculoskeletal system, we use cutting-edge diagnostic machines that assess your muscle function, endurance, and range of motion. Based on these evaluations, we tailor personalized physical therapy plans and get you started toward rehabilitation.
Our rehabilitation center offers a range of advanced solutions such as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) and High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) to promote nerve regeneration and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. We combine these treatments with exercise therapy for optimal outcomes.
For the first time in Qatar, we bring you unique pain management treatments rooted in the ancient practice of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM). Korean medicine traditions can be traced as far back as 300 BCE. They focus on cultivating well-being through healing and restoring the harmony between body, mind, and soul. The most common applications of TKM are acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion, all of which we offer here at KMC.
Traditional Korean Medicine serves as an alternative mode of treatment or an effective supplemental route to your mainstream procedures. All therapies are performed by licensed professionals from South Korea, where TKM doctors undergo rigorous medical training just like their modern medicine counterparts. In Korea, there are only approximately 600 specialists licensed in acupuncture and moxibustion medicine, and our board-certified physician is among the prestigious few.
Acupuncture is a Traditional East Asian medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance of the body.
Most people don’t feel the needle or report minimal discomfort when the needles are inserted. You might feel a tingling or dull ache, but the process is generally not painful.
Acupuncture is commonly used for pain management (e.g., back pain, headaches), stress, anxiety, digestive disorders, insomnia, and more. Evidence also supports its use for certain chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and migraine.
When performed by a trained and licensed practitioner, acupuncture is very safe. Sterile, single-use needles are used to minimize risks of infection or injury.
A typical acupuncture session takes 45 minutes. It will take 60 minutes if it is your first session including consultation.
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Acute conditions may require fewer sessions, while chronic conditions may need regular treatments over weeks or months.
