Knee pain — whether from osteoarthritis, patellofemoral syndrome, ligament injury, meniscal pathology, or overuse tendinopathy — is one of the most common and lifestyle-limiting musculoskeletal complaints in adults. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry treats knee pain using a combination of acupuncture (for neural and systemic anti-inflammatory effects), dry needling (for quadriceps and gastrocnemius trigger points), and functional medicine (to address the systemic inflammation and nutritional factors that accelerate joint degeneration).
How Knee Pain Treatment Works
Knee pain treatment uses local knee acupoints (xiyan, heding, GB34, ST35, SP10) combined with distal points (ST36 for anti-inflammatory effect, SP9 for dampness-heat). Dry needling targets the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), rectus femoris, iliotibial band insertions, and popliteal muscles. Functional medicine assessment may identify elevated inflammatory markers, vitamin D deficiency, or dietary patterns contributing to cartilage breakdown.
