Physical Therapy

Goals and Benefits:

Our main goal is to diagnose your condition and treat your symptoms in the most effective and efficient way possible. This may include: increased functional range of motion, decreased pain, improvement in stability and balance, improvement to endurance and athletic performance, increased joint mobility, reduction in adhesions/connective tissue/scar tissue, and overall better health.

We offer physical therapy for knee, back and neck, as well as fully specialized treatment plans for your unique injury recovery needs. Physical therapy at Denver Integrated Spine Center is like no other, we offer full 30-minute appointments where you will work one-on-one with your therapist, and our providers will put all their knowledge and expertise toward making your recovery as efficient, effective and enjoyable as possible.

Treatment Techniques

Therapeutic Trigger Point Dry Needling

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

Soft tissue mobilization

A type of manual therapy (where a physical therapist will use his/her hands) to treat soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments). This type of mobilization can improve mobility and strength.

Trigger point massage

A type of manual therapy (where a physical therapist will use his/her hands) to provide relief in tight muscle fibers. 

  • Effleurage – type of massage that uses circular strokes to broad areas of the connective and muscle tissue
  • Petrissage – 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 low 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 elicits 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 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

Specific exercises 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 that a physical therapist will use his/her hands to provide movement in the joints or soft tissue (muscles or tendons) to allow for greater mobility.
