Dr. Chit Chan Gunn
Profile (1931-)
Dr. Gunn is a Vancouver doctor with a world-wide reputation for relieving chronic pain without drugs. A pioneer in the treatment of pain, Gunn is noted for introducing a new theory for chronic pain and also for developing a method of needle treatment known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS). He specializes in alleviating chronic pain due to nerve damage (neuropathy) which is specifically helped by using acupuncture needles for intramuscular stimulation (IMS).
