The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The tre atment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band o f contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred p ain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs depen dent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painfu l\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiolog ical contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local an d referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate musc le nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\ , thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitiza tion.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which a re modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured ta ut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or penetration wit h a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and m itigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a r eduction 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 referred pain\, improved r ange of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remote ly. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restor es local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanorecepto rs coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirec tly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be m ediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibro blasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced loc al and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporat ed into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sou rces 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 contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, c ranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type head aches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain dis orders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, p ost-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries \, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\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\nFor more information abou t Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Course registra tion includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An i llustrated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Cert ificate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points dependin g on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the D ry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\; \n One free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podia trists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nu rses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is wi thin your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in you r registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupunct ure experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills a nd clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in-depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional o rganization\, theoretical and practical experience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your sc ope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us h ere - info@club-physio.net. \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 'Members Area' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email yo u the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registe ring your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow s tep 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered you r details\, come back to this course webpage to submit your booking below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button bel ow.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now t hat you have made your booking.
