The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a diff erent physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, sca r tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce loc al and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active a nd latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated . TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia an d hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns . TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persisten t nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral a nd central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial D N. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch res ponses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpatio n or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated wi th alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceqtive\ , inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referr ed pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both loc ally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skelet al muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to act ivate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre aff erents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superfic ial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associa ted with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\n DN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are pres ent\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limit ations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and th eir inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN al so is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractured m uscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as f ascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous dia gnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\ , tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines \, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or r epetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfuncti on\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndrom es\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon diso rders.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of pr actice\, then is it time for you to learn this amazing new technique to he lp your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor m ore information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Need ling Course registration includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An illustrated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ah ead of the course to help you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks o n each day\;\n Certificate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry nee dling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our website.\ n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / prof essionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteo paths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiolo gists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for who m dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permit ted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advance d palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in-depth structure of our DN courses.
