Dry Needling in Westminster, CO
Precision treatment for stubborn tension, pain, and restricted movement.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a precise technique used to release deep muscular tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain — especially when other treatments haven’t worked.
It involves placing thin, solid needles into trigger points (tight bands within muscle) to reset neuromuscular activity and promote better blood flow, oxygenation, and tissue healing.
This isn’t acupuncture.
Dry needling is based on modern anatomy, neurophysiology, and muscular mechanics.
And when it’s done well — it works fast.
What Does Dry Needling Help With?
At Westminster Sports Chiropractic, I use dry needling to treat:
-
Shoulder pain (impingement, postural dysfunction, restricted rotation)
-
Low back pain and glute tension
-
Trap tightness and neck restriction
-
Hip flexor overload and anterior pelvic tilt
-
Calf/Achilles tightness
-
Post-injury compensation patterns
-
Hard-to-fix muscle knots that don’t respond to massage or stretching
It’s especially effective when layered into a care plan that includes:
-
Manual therapy
-
Chiropractic adjustments
-
Rehabilitative exercise
How Does It Work?
Muscles under chronic tension don’t just feel tight — they’re stuck in a protective, low-oxygen state.
Dry needling helps reset that pattern by creating a micro-stimulus that:
-
Releases local trigger points
-
Improves circulation
-
Stimulates the nervous system to re-coordinate movement
Many patients feel immediate relief, improved range of motion, and better muscle activation — especially in areas that have been “off” for months.
What Does It Feel Like?
Most people describe the sensation as:
-
A brief twitch or deep pressure
-
Followed by a release of tension or a deep ache (like hitting a reset button)
It’s not relaxing — it’s effective.
And when it’s targeted properly, it can make a massive difference in just one session.
Who Performs the Needling?
Every needle is placed by me — Dr. Jon Denning — a licensed chiropractor with advanced training in dry needling, manual therapy, and functional rehab.
I’ve treated hundreds of athletes, active adults, and high-performers who’ve tried everything else — and finally got results when we addressed the muscular system at this level.
