Advanced Dry Needling Course

Course overview

This course begins with a review of the main Dry Needling principles covered in the other courses. Then advanced Dry Needling methods and challenging muscles throughout the body are discussed and practiced until total certainty and competence are achieved. Needling techniques for ligamentous and tendinous structures are presented and practiced. Principles of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging (MSKUS) for guiding the needle is presented. The evidence of the pathophysiology of myofascial pain is followed by demonstration and practice of Dry Needling under Ultrasound Imaging. Ultrasound needle guidance is a separate billable code! This course also includes a demonstration of EMG testing before and after Dry Needling for objective quantification of the decrease of Spontaneous Electrical Activity of Trigger Points. The course discusses integrations of other manual therapy techniques with Dry Needling and the creation of treatment protocols. A small group principle for individual attention is a very important component of the course. Build now total certainty for your dry needling practice! During this course, you will be able to become qualified for Florida and other states' patient treatment requirements and you will be able to fill out the attestation form for the 25 cases. Dry Needling methods and techniques of challenging muscles; needling of ligaments and tendons is covered in this course. Utilization of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging (MSKUS) for Trigger Point localization and needle guidance is demonstrated and practiced. EMG Testing for objective quantification of decrease of Spontaneous Electrical Activity of Trigger Points will be demonstrated. Correlations and integration of Dry Needling with other manual therapy techniques are discussed. A small group principle for individual attention is a very important component of the course.
