Dry Needling for Pain Relief

Dry needling is one of the most effective therapies we offer at TruSpine & Wellness in Denver for relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring function. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is a modern, evidence-based technique that targets muscular trigger points, tight knots of muscle that contribute to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. By inserting a very thin, sterile needle into the trigger point, dry needling helps release muscle tension, decrease inflammation, and improve circulation. This allows the body to heal faster, reduces irritation of surrounding nerves, and restores balance to the musculoskeletal system. 

Many patients experience immediate relief and improved range of motion, making it an excellent treatment for both chronic conditions and acute injuries. Our dry needling patients commonly seek care for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines, tension headaches, TMJ dysfunction, shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, hip pain, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and overall muscle tightness caused by stress, posture, or overuse. 

Athletes and active individuals often use dry needling to recover faster, prevent injuries, and improve performance, while those with desk jobs or repetitive strain find lasting relief by addressing the root cause of muscle dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms. At TruSpine & Wellness, we specialize in combining dry needling with chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to deliver comprehensive, personalized treatment plans that go beyond pain relief and support long-term healing. If you are searching for a trusted chiropractor in the Denver area, who offers dry needling, our team is here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to doing the activities you love without pain holding you back.
