Trigger Point Dry Needling for Knee Pain

Trigger Point Dry Needling for Knee Pain

KNEE PAIN, from an acute or chronic injury, can be DEBILITATING….. limiting walking, squatting, climbing stairs, running, and other activities that you love. Although there are many sources of knee pain, treatments tend to fall into 2 categories: surgical or nonsurgical.

Most people opt for the non surgical, or conservative, approach to treating knee pain. Physical therapy has been the primary conservative treatment for years- including exercises for strengthening, modalities to reduce pain, and taping or bracing for support. Doctors often administer cortisone or other joint injections as a “conservative” treatment option, as well…. OUCH! These may or may not work and often must be repeated several times.

Trigger Point Dry Needling is a virtually painless treatment for knee pain with little to no side effects. Fine acupuncture needles are used to treat the painful trigger points in the muscles supporting the knee as well as other tissues affected. Used in conjunction with deep tissue myofascial release, manual therapy (stretching, mobilization), taping, modalities, and therapeutic yoga/exercise— you could be on your way to PAIN RELIEF after the first treatment!!
