Because the piriformis muscle sits deep in the glutes, where it can irritate nearby nerves, its pain referral patterns are wide-ranging and can cause both referred pain and nerve entrapment.⁠

Trigger points in your: ✔️ Quads ✔️ Inner thighs ✔️ Hamstrings ✔️ Calves ✔️ TFL can all refer pain into the knee.

If stairs, running, or prolonged sitting cause it to flare up, and pressing those spots recreates the ache, you're not imagining it. Those tight bands crank up stress around the joint.

Chronic pain is a complex condition that involves the nervous system, brain, and immune response, and impacts millions.

But that doesn’t mean you have to just live with it.

With a tailored, multimodal approach, including acupuncture + dry needling, pain can be reduced, and movement improved without relying solely on medication.

That deep ache between your shoulder blades could be rhomboid trigger points quietly creating ongoing upper-back pain, stiffness, and even shoulder discomfort.

Common causes of rhomboid trigger points:
• Forward shoulder posture
• Repetitive overuse from pulling movements
• Carrying heavy bags
• Poor sleeping position
• Emotional stress and tension

Not sure if it’s your rhomboid muscle?

Trigger points around the knee can send pain straight into the area.

🦵 Quads can refer pain to the kneecap
➡️ Inner thighs can pull along the inside of the knee
⬅️ Hamstrings + calves can create deep aching behind it
⚡ Even the TFL (often blamed as the “IT band”) can drive outer-knee tension and IT band pain

These muscle patterns can increase stress around the knee and sometimes feel like joint injuries.

📍While the tools are identical, the clinical approach is what changes your results. At Morningside Acupuncture, we don't just "poke where it hurts"; we use clinical reasoning to choose the right method for your body:

⚡️ Dynamic Dry Needling – The “rapid reset.” Can offer immediate relief, improving muscle stiffness and blood flow through active needle movement.

🌿 Acupuncture – The “holistic system.” Supports recovery, sleep, and digestion by addressing the entire nervous system.

While dynamic needling offers quick relief, long-term healing often requires systemic balance. We combine these methods to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The best dry needling is intentional. We get it, you’re chasing PRs, juggling mileage, lifts, and a race calendar that doesn’t pause for recovery experiments.

When your clinician understands:
✔️ How much you’re training
✔️ What injuries you’ve had
✔️ What you’re preparing for

Sessions can be timed and targeted for maximum benefit with minimal disruption.

That’s how pain improves without derailing performance.

That "sciatica" pain might not be what you think it is. 🤯

It’s shocking how often a stubborn trigger point in the glute or lower back can mimic the symptoms of a herniated disc. The pain path is the same, but the cause is different, and so is the solution.

We believe in a comprehensive approach that addresses both possibilities simultaneously without resorting to invasive measures.

✅ Acupuncture calms the angry nerves and reduces inflammation.

✅ Dry Needling physically deactivates the muscle knots that may cause the referred pain.
