Treatment Techniques

At Denver Integrated Spine Center, we utilize a variety of advanced treatments to address the source of your health problem effectively.

Therapeutic Trigger Point Dry Needling

Use of a monofilament needle to penetrate tissue (skin, connective, and muscular) to treat trigger points — i.e., tightness in the muscle fibers often referred to as “knots.” Dry needling refers to the use of a needle without medication.

Soft tissue mobilization

Soft tissue mobilization is a type of manual therapy where physical therapists use their hands to treat soft tissue, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This type of mobilization can improve mobility and strength.

Trigger point massage

This type of therapy involves a physical therapist using their hands to provide relief in tight muscle fibers.

Effleurage – A type of massage that uses circular strokes to broad areas of the connective and muscle tissue
Petrissage – A type of massage that uses kneading to help release connective and muscle tissue

Joint Mobilization

A type of manual therapy that uses various grades of forces (I-V) to move a joint into various ranges of motion. The technique is used to improve mobility of the joint and improve joint function throughout the whole range of motion.

Nerve glides

Also referred to as neural “flossing.” Specific movement patterns are used to stretch the nerves to allow for full movement and mobility.

Cranial sacral myofascial release

A type of release that aids in mobility in the connective tissue from the head to the lower back.

Cupping

Cupping is a type of soft tissue release where a physical therapist will place a cup directly onto the skin, which creates a vacuum or suction. This technique is used to release connective tissue, scarring, and muscle knots.

Electrical stimulation

The most common forms of electrical stimulation that can be used in physical therapy include:

Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMES): used to elicit a muscle contraction and the neuromuscular endplate (used for muscle retraining in coordination, rhythm and strength).
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): used for pain relief
Interferential Electrical Stimulation (IFC): used for pain relief

Kinesiotaping

An elastic tape is used to allow for flexibility while allowing for normal or retraining movement patterns. It can be used for posture, lymphatic drainage, muscle tone, and muscle activation/coordination.

Therapeutic exercise

With therapeutic exercise, specific exercises are given by a physical therapist to address movement or strength deficits. The exercises are given based on a thorough examination to improve functional activities and general health.

Neuro-muscular re-education

Specific exercises or activities prescribed by a physical therapist to allow for improved communication between the nerves and muscles of the body to enhance movement. Common facilitation is through coordination, balance, muscle timing, and strength.

Manual therapy

A treatment approach where a physical therapist uses their hands to provide movement in the joints or soft tissue (muscles or tendons) to allow for greater mobility.

Recent Reviews

I’ve been coming here for years, I started due to ongoing headaches since my teenage years. The doctors had them totally under control, then I was T-boned in an intersection and my headaches got very extreme. I worked with all the doctors here and it took me several months, but the headaches went away. Everyone here is great from the doctors, therapists, and the staff members.
