๐ฆต Knee Arthritis & How Electrical Dry Needling Can Help โก
Knee arthritis is one of the most common sources of chronic knee pain. It occurs when the protective cartilage within the joint begins to wear down, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and painful movement. Many people describe it as a deep, aching pain that worsens with activity or prolonged sitting.
๐ Why does it hurt?
As cartilage thins, the bones within the knee joint experience more friction. This irritation leads to joint inflammation, swelling, and stiffness. Over time, the inflammation itself contributes to further cartilage breakdown โ creating a cycle of pain and dysfunction.
โก Where Electrical Dry Needling Comes In
Electrical dry needling is a powerful treatment that uses fine, sterile needles placed around the knee joint, often combined with gentle electrical stimulation. This treatment works by:
โข Reducing joint inflammation
โข Decreasing pain signals from the joint
โข Improving local circulation for healing
โข Calming overactive muscles that place extra stress on the joint
โข Potentially slowing the progression of cartilage breakdown by interrupting the inflammatory cycle
๐ Why this matters: By targeting both pain and inflammation at the source, electrical dry needling does more than mask symptoms. It can help you move with greater ease, preserve joint health, and stay active longer โ whether your goal is climbing stairs without pain, getting back to the gym, or simply enjoying daily life again.
