The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatm ent objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a d ifferent physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spo ts within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into activ e and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs a re spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimula ted. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patte rns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persis tent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of periphera l and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficia l DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR i s a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpa tion or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or mot or endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nocicepti ve\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and ref erred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of ske letal muscle and restores local circulation. Suqerficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Super ficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is asso ciated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\ n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are p resent\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional li mitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contracture d muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such a s fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk patholo gy\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migrai nes\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related o r repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfun ction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain synd romes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon d isorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of practice\, then is it time for you to learn this amazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFo r more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry N eedling Course registration includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied f or the course\;\n An illustrated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snack s on each day\;\n Certificate of attendance in printed or digital form (w ith CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Path way to completing the Dry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our websit e.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / p rofessionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, os teopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesi ologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally per mitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needli ng or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, adva oced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanc ed nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sp orts / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice w ith your professional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional organizatio n or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book f or this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account \; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the t op menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registeri ng your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow ste p 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and ch oose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n • Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Tr ansfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transger\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
