Study Summary
The focus of this project is to evaluate the diagnostic utility of Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in individuals after routine low back injury and begin an initial investigation of it's ability to effectively guide physical therapy treatment with dry-needling as a relevant treatment intervention. Specific Aim #1: Evaluate the diagnostic utility of SWE in differentiating individuals with and without LBP. The investigators will also examine the interaction between tissue change and clinical improvement. The investigators hypothesize that individuals with LBP will have higher muscle stiffness (shear modulus) at rest and impaired (lower) stiffness during contraction than individuals without LBP. Specific Aim #2: Evaluate the effectiveness of dry-needling in decreasing aberrant muscle stiffness in individuals with LBP. The investigators hypothesize that individuals with LBP that receive dry-needling will exhibit larger changes than both individuals with LBP that receive sham dry-needling and than individuals without LBP that receive dry-needling. Specific Aim #3: Evaluate the effectiveness of dry-needling in decreasing pain and disability in individuals with LBP. The investigators hypothesize that individuals with LBP that receive dry-needling will exhibit larger improvements than individuals with LBP that receive sham dry-needling.
