There has been much discourse and study on the management of Osteoarthritis Knee. Studies have focused on improving Joint Cartilage health, improving the joint functionality symptomatically or improving the quality of life of a patient with Knee Osteoarthritis. There have been no studies so far on altering Joint Space Width in an Osteoarthritic Knee joint with an attempt to improving the functionality at the Knee joint. Our case reports were aimed at understanding whether Radiologically Altered Knee Joint Space Width in Osteoarthritic Knees could be changed through Dry Needling Techniques.
