Knee Pain That PT Can Actually Fix
GT Physical Therapy specializes in knee pain — including knee osteoarthritis, where our dry needling + e-stim protocol produces results that cortisone shots often can't sustain.
Most patients with knee OA are told to lose weight, take anti-inflammatories, and get injections — a cycle that provides temporary relief but never addresses the underlying mechanical dysfunction. At GT PT, we target the actual cause: impaired muscle function around the knee, faulty movement mechanics, and trigger points that perpetuate joint pain.
Our signature approach combines dry needling with electrical stimulation — targeting the quadriceps, hamstrings, and IT band to flush metabolic waste from the joint, reduce pain sensitization, and restore muscle function around the knee. Your progress is measured throughout your plan of care.
Whether your knee pain is from arthritis, a sports injury, or post-surgical stiffness — you see the same Doctor of Physical Therapy every single visit, who tracks your response and adjusts treatment accordingly.
Many of our knee OA patients report meaningful pain reduction and improved function. Some come to us after cortisone shots stopped working.
Why Dry Needling + E-Stim Works for Knees
The e-stim generates sustained muscle contractions that flush pain-sensitizing chemicals from the knee joint — the same chemicals that cause chronic aching and stiffness. Combined with needle placement in key trigger points, this resets the neuromuscular system faster than any passive treatment.
