Chiropractic Dry Needling Module I

Course overview

Chiropractic Dry Needling Module I teaches technical proficiency in foundational dry needling techniques. This course gives clinicians the tools to elevate their practice and fosters confidence and competence to integrate dry needling into practice the very next day. Anatomy, safety, precautions, and psychomotor aspects of needling are reinforced alongside instruction in history, supportive evidence, clinical application and reasoning and use of electrical stimulation with needling. This course is designed to place heavy emphasis on practical, hands-on training and practice, the attendee will be introduced to more detail of current research regarding DN efficacy, physiological effects, controversies and potential adverse effects. Peripheral and central sensitizations issues will be discussed. The participant will be familiarized not only with the how to needle but also what functional outcomes may be influenced by needling, which is why we needle. As always, an emphasis will be placed on patient and clinician safety and proper handling of potential blood-borne pathogens. This course will qualify for the first Module to complete the Florida Board of Chiropractor's requirements to perform Dry Needling in the state of Florida for those with no previous Acupuncture Training.
