Dry Needling

Still in Pain After Trying Everything?

Most people come to us after rest, painkillers, and rushed insurance-based PT have already failed them — and they’re tired of being told to just take it easy.

Generic, Rushed Care

Overcrowded clinics where you see a different tech each visit, spend most of your time on a machine, and leave with the same pain you walked in with.

Symptom Masking, Not Root-Cause Fixing

Rest, anti-inflammatories, and cortisone shots may quiet pain temporarily — but without addressing why it started, it always comes back.

Losing the Activities You Love

Every week you’re not running, lifting, skiing, or playing costs you more than fitness — it costs you energy, confidence, and quality of life.

Why Denver Residents Choose KinetikChain PT

Why Denver Residents Choose KinetikChain PT

KinetikChain Denver Physical Therapy was built specifically for active adults who want real answers — not a 15-minute visit and a printout of generic exercises. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy combine certified dry needling in Denver, CO with hands-on manual therapy, spinal manipulation, cupping, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to treat the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Every session is extended, one-on-one, and completely personalized to you.

  • Every visit is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — never an aide or tech
  • Multi-pronged treatment: dry needling, manual therapy, manipulation, cupping, and IASTM in one plan
  • Cash-based, self-pay practice — your care is driven by your goals, not insurance limits (superbill provided)

“I worked with Dr. Moser through a back injury that prevented me from playing sports that I still love to play. I could not have possibly asked for a better fit for what I needed. Dr. Moser was extremely professional and thorough with her solutions. I cannot recommend Dr. Moser and the team at KinetikChain enough. I’m giving them five stars only because I can’t leave six.”

— Ryan S.

James "Jamie" Cornell
"After completing the initial visits and assessment, I selected KinetikChain Denver based on the quality of the staff, professionalism of the office and scheduling and finally the best-in-class physical therapy methodology they use. My progress has far exceeded my expectations. I have to give a very special thanks to Dr. Brian Hamilton, who is an exceptional physician, sherpa/guide, cheerleader and now a friend."
Connor Rode
"Brian is the man! Went in here dealing with an injured hamstring and after 2 sessions, already feeling like brand new. The attention to detail and passion for his work are clear once you step in the door. Would recommend that anyone dealing with an injury to go see him cause he'll get you feeling good in no time!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first visit to KinetikChain Denver Physical Therapy.

Do you accept insurance? 

KinetikChain Denver is a private-pay (self-pay) practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which means your care is never limited by what a plan will or won’t cover. We provide a superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find that the quality and speed of results more than justifies the investment.

What is the free discovery call and how does it work? 

Our free 20-minute discovery call is a no-obligation conversation with a member of our clinical team. You’ll share what’s been going on, we’ll ask the right questions, and together you’ll determine whether KinetikChain’s approach is the right fit — before you commit to anything. It’s the best first step if you’re unsure whether PT is right for you.

How is KinetikChain different from other physical therapy clinics in Denver? 

Every session at KinetikChain is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for the full duration — no aides, no techs, no patients stacked on top of each other. Our sessions run 25 or 55 minutes, and we use a multi-pronged approach combining dry needling, manual therapy, spinal manipulation, cupping, and personalized exercise — all focused on root-cause resolution, not symptom management.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to start treatment? 

No referral needed. Colorado is a direct-access state, which means you can schedule with KinetikChain directly without a physician’s order. Just book your free discovery call and we’ll take it from there.

What conditions do you treat with dry needling in Denver, CO? 

Our certified providers use dry needling as part of comprehensive treatment plans for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, shoulder injuries, knee pain, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, headaches, hip pain, and much more. Dry needling is particularly effective for releasing deep trigger points and accelerating recovery from both acute injuries and chronic overuse conditions.

How long are sessions and what should I expect at my first visit? 

We offer 25-minute and 55-minute one-on-one sessions. At your first visit, your Doctor of Physical Therapy will conduct a thorough movement assessment, review your history, identify the root cause of your pain or limitation, and begin hands-on treatment — all in the same appointment. You leave with a clear plan, not just a diagnosis.
