Results of intramuscular manual therapy include a decrease in subjective complaints, increased range of motion, a reduction in the need for medication, and decreased stiffness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>There is no need for the use of medications.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;60&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527086523925{background-color: #fbfbfb !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][mk_divider style=&#8221;thin_solid&#8221; thin_single_color=&#8221;#4b85b1&#8243; thickness=&#8221;10&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527789096575{background-color: #efefef !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;60&#8243;][mk_fancy_title color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; size=&#8221;60&#8243; txt_transform=&#8221;uppercase&#8221; letter_spacing=&#8221;2&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;18&#8243; font_family=&#8221;Oswald&#8221; font_type=&#8221;google&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;]How does TDN work?[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/catalystptdenver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/divider1.png&#8221; group=&#8221;_general&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; crop=&#8221;false&#8221;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text disable_pattern=&#8221;false&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527796917665{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]TDN involves use of a solid, thin filament needle, inserted into the muscle, to locate and deactivate a \u201ctrigger point\u201d. A trigger point (taut band of muscles) can be tender to the touch and refer pain to other parts of the body. TDN deactivates and desensitizes the trigger point, which stimulates a healing response and reduces the biomechanical stress of the muscle treated.[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_tta_tabs style=&#8221;modern&#8221; color=&#8221;sky&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; active_section=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Benefits of TDN&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1527800249395-198f046e-af94&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][mk_custom_list style=&#8221;mk-moon-checkmark-4&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Pain control\ufffc<\/li>\n<li>\ufffcRestores motion and function<\/li>\n<li>Reduces muscle tension<\/li>\n<li>Desensitizes supersensitive structures<\/li>\n<li>Decreases the need for medications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/mk_custom_list][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][mk_custom_list style=&#8221;mk-moon-checkmark-4&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Promotes healing response in tissue<\/li>\n<li>Normalizes biochemical and electrical dysfunction of motor end plates<\/li>\n<li>Accelerates return to active rehabilitation<\/li>\n<li>Return to sport and activity faster<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/mk_custom_list][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What Conditions Can Be Treated By TDN?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1527800249467-2360b66b-d3e2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][mk_custom_list style=&#8221;mk-moon-checkmark-4&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Low Back Pain<\/li>\n<li>Neck Pain<\/li>\n<li>Sciatic Pain<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Hip\/Knee Pain<\/li>\n<li>Shoulder\/Arm Pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/mk_custom_list][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][mk_custom_list style=&#8221;mk-moon-checkmark-4&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>Repetitive Strain Injuries<\/li>\n<li>Tennis and Golfer\u2019s Elbow<\/li>\n<li>Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ)<\/li>\n<li>Muscle Spasms<\/li>\n<li>Tendinitis\/Tendinosis<\/li>\n<li>Chronic Pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/mk_custom_list][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;How is TDN different than Acupuncture?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1527800534964-51488c0d-636e&#8221;][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527800171065{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]Dry needling for the treatment of myofascial (muscular) trigger points is based on theories similar, but not exclusive, to traditional acupuncture; however, dry needling targets the trigger points, which is the direct and palpable source of patient pain, rather than the traditional \u201cmeridians\u201d, accessed via acupuncture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;60&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1527086523925{background-color: #fbfbfb !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][mk_divider style=&#8221;thin_solid&#8221; thin_single_color=&#8221;#4b85b1&#8243; thickness=&#8221;10&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;0&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column][mk_button dimension=&#8221;flat&#8221; size=&#8221;xx-large&#8221; url=&#8221;\/contact-us\/&#8221; fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; bg_color=&#8221;#1a476e&#8221; btn_hover_bg=&#8221;#ce4723&#8243; btn_hover_txt_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221;]Contact us today to learn more about our dry needling services in the Denver-metro area, to provide relief for either your chronic or acute pain.
