Effects of Dry Needling Using Spinal and Peripheral Sites Versus Peripheral Sites Only

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Dry Needling Using Spinal and Peripheral Sites Versus Peripheral Sites Only Among Individuals With Chronic Lower Extremity Conditions

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if dry needling both low back and extremity areas is more effective for reducing pain and improving strength, balance and functional performance among patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions compared to dry needling of extremity areas only.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will determine if spinal and peripheral dry needling sites results in decreased pain, increased muscle strength, increased proprioception and increased functional performance among individuals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions of the lower extremities, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. Specific aims are to determine if individuals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions of the lower extremities receiving dry needling to both spinal and peripheral sites exhibit differences in pain, muscle strength, proprioception, and unilateral hop test scores compared to individuals with chronic musculoskeletal conditions of the lower extremities receiving dry needling to peripheral sites only. ;
