Living LOUD is not an option when you’re dealing with persistent aches and pains that make simple movements like walking or sitting difficult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at LIVE LOUD, dry needling is most often used as a complementary treatment to other manual therapy techniques such as chiropractic adjustments, massage, stretching, physiotherapy, and cupping, helping muscles get back to proper function without drugs, surgery, or negative side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The doctors at LIVE LOUD Chiropractic & Coaching are the Boulder County experts in dry needling therapy. Don’t let another day go by without experiencing the relief, rejuvenation, and performance-enhancing benefits needling can offer.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_separator sep_color=”accent”][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”767022″]<\/p>\n

I do not have enough positive words to express how much Dr Antonio Gurule changed my life! He isn\u2019t your typical Chiro. Yes, he can do adjustments, but he offers so much more!\u00a0 He spent so much time understanding my issues and looking at my body mechanics, how I move, where my pain was. Then he worked with me on how to safely maneuver my body to stop injuring my back. He worked with me on strengthening exercises to help avoid future injuries. He did dry needling and deep tissue work. It has been life changing for me as it has totally changed how I move. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What Is Dry Needling?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]Dry needling is a form of intramuscular manual therapy, meaning a practitioner manually inserts thin filiform needles into your muscle tissue at specific points on your body called trigger points (those pesky knots that are hard to get out on your own).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trigger points produce pain in muscles by causing abnormal muscle firing or spasms. Dry needle insertion on these trigger points can help break up the bands of muscle created by this abnormal activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once inserted, the needle is moved up and down or may\u00a0 be “stimulated” with electricity, in order to increase blood flow and create a release of the tension that’s causing pain or dysfunction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s called “dry” needling because the needle is solid and is not used to inject substances of any kind into your body like an immunization or IV needle.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-wvjs” heading_semantic=”h6″ text_font=”font-202503″ text_size=”fontsize-155944″ text_weight=”300″ text_space=”fontspace-111509″]\u3030[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading text_weight=”300″]<\/p>\n

How Does Dry Needling Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]Muscles near the site of injury, irritation, or inflammation typically contract in response. This contraction limits circulation, which leads to the accumulation of stagnant blood. Less hydration and nutrients reach the affected area, which can aggravate the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also supporting arguments that abnormal muscle firing signaling from nerves can also create trigger points.\u00a0 Because of the consistent muscle firing of the muscles, they can become fatigued and painful due to the heightened response.<\/span><\/p>\n

With dry needling therapy, needles are inserted into the painful area, as close to the tight knot as possible, penetrating through just a small amount of skin to contact these deeper trigger points that will hopefully instigate muscle contractions that release the tension.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the dry needle is inserted near the problem area, the micro-tears caused by the needle also set a healing response into motion, causing activation of the immune system. Blood that\u2019s well hydrated and carries plenty of nutrients moves to the needling site and accelerates tissue rejuvenation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Needles may be inserted deeply or just below the skin\u2019s surface. If you feel your muscle spasming or twitching in response, it is a good sign that the right spot is being worked on.\u00a0 The twitch is a positive sign that the abnormal nerve signaling to the muscle is trying to normalize and can also be facilitated through electrostimulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research has shown dry needling effectively treats tissue inflammation, sensitized nerve tissue, scar tissue formation, and deficient circulation of blood and lymph. Systemically, pain pathways are reduced or eliminated, endogenous opioids are released, and specific muscle tension is normalized.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means you\u2019re less likely to suffer from chronic pain with regular dry needling sessions. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_separator sep_color=”accent”][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”149119″]<\/p>\n

I experienced some shoulder pain that was not resolving on its own.\u00a0 I consulted with Dr. Antonio Gurule and within three sessions of adjustments, rock taping and recommended at home exercises, my shoulder issues resolved and my range of motion actually improved.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The extent of Antonio’s scope of practice became evident when months later I injured my foot running.\u00a0 During these sessions he added dry needling with electrical stimulation and within a short period of time I was able to return to almost all the activities I enjoy.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I am a doctor, I am a patient and I highly recommend Dr. Antonio Gurule from a professional point of view and a patient’s perspective. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
