Dry Needling

Unlocking Pain Relief with Dry Needling Treatment

Dry Needling at Denver Spine & Performance is a specialized treatment technique leveraging the power of thin, solid filiform needles. Precisely inserted into soft tissue tension or painful trigger points, the needles help alleviate pain, enhance range of motion, and expedite healing. The treatment works on a microscopic level, releasing tight muscle tissue, which bolsters circulation and minimizes inflammation.


Dry Needling is not exclusive to a specific group and can be considerably beneficial for those grappling with chronic or acute muscle pain, tightness, or joint movement restrictions. Patients recovering from surgery or traumatic injury can harness the healing potential of this therapy as it negates inflammation and promotes restorative healing. For individuals dealing with persistent headaches or migraines, Dry Needling emerges as a remedy. Athletes seeking performance elevation can experience substantial improvement with this treatment, given its ability to enhance muscle functionality and movement fluidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who could benefit from Dry Needling therapy?

    Dry needle therapy is versatile and can benefit a wide range of individuals, especially those dealing with muscular discomfort or mobility issues. Our dry needling therapist can assist individuals experiencing chronic or acute muscle pain, tightness, or restricted movement in their joints.

  • Aside from Dry Needling, which other therapies are offered for comprehensive care?

    Beyond dry needling, we offer a comprehensive suite of therapies designed to facilitate holistic care for our clients. Functional Rehabilitation is among our highly sought-after services. It involves a therapeutically administered exercise program crafted to restore individuals to their previous activity levels and lifestyles.

For athletes, in particular, our Sports Performance Care program offers systematic regimes to maximize their potential and enhance performance.

  • Do you use Electrical Stimulation (IMES) and how does it aid in recovery and pain management?

    Intramuscular Electrical Stimulation (IMES) is a supplementary therapy we use to enhance the recovery process by mitigating pain. This treatment applies low-frequency electrical current to acupuncture needles, triggering the release of natural pain-relievers such as beta-endorphins, enkephalins, and endomorphin. This contributes significantly to reducing pain levels. Furthermore, IMES has two fold advantages - it activates muscles and fosters nerve regeneration after an injury. Studies highlight that low-frequency electrical stimulation expedites motor and sensory recovery, making IMES a potent tool, especially in the initial rehabilitation stages. With this treatment, we aim to facilitate not just pain relief but a holistic recovery and strengthening journey.
