Bilateral Knee Pain and Dry Needling

Dry needling will be performed by licensed physical therapists who are formally trained in dry needling and meet all of the requirements of the state of Ohio and agree to participate as key personnel in this study. These therapists will receive specialized training in the study protocol including appropriate documentation, standardized dry needling technique/procedures, and study communication. Dry needling will be performed in a clean field using sterile acupuncture needles of appropriate length to pierce muscle bellies based on patient size and muscle mass.
