See below: A physical therapist can teach you exercises to stretch the thigh's quadriceps and hamstrings, which may help reduce the tension on the spot where the kneecap's tendon attaches to the shinbone. Strengthening exercises for the quadriceps can help stabilize the knee joint.Osgood-schlatter disease usually gets better without formal treatment. Symptoms typically disappear after your bones stop growing.

Regarding : Dry needling. I would suggest seeing an acupuncturist who has knowledge of many techniques rather then just limiting to dry needling.
