The p hysiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment o bjectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a differ ent physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots wi thin a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are sp ontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch respo nses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a s pinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of t he contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor en dplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the t aut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both local ly and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activ ate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre affer ents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficia l DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via s tretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associate d with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are presen t\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitat ions. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and thei r inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractured mus cle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fas cial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagn oses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or rep etitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction \, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes \, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disord ers.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of prac tice\, 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 mor e information about Dry Needling\, click here.\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Courses registration includes:\n• All supplies needed for the course as needles\, tissues\n• Coloured and illustrated course manual\n• Tea\, Coffee and Lunch on each day\n• Certificate of attendance in a digital f orm\n• One free premium listing of your practice on our website\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO' s)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, do ctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry need ling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to nee dle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previou s acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpatio n skills and 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 prof essional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and having pr ofessional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls with in your scope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this cours e?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register y our details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we n eed your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the prelimina ry materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your detai ls does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below.\n\ n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your details\, com e back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choose your pay ment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: C hoose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Transfer: If yo u wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on t he proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made yo ur booking.
