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. Most patients feel a meaningful difference within 1–3 sessions.
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.
Over 80% of our knee OA patients report significant pain reduction and improved function. Many patients come to us after cortisone shots stopped working — and wish they'd started PT first.
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.
