The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger point s ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are h yperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fib res that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are d ivided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritabili ty. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only pai nful 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 develop ment of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into de ep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by elicit ing local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervou s system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involu ntary contraction of the 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 electrica l activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of n umerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals a nd relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with redu ced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP i rritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical mil ieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmy elinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingu lar cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A d elta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Super ficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myof ascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral noci ceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain manag ement insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion d ue to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue rest rictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identi fied in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfuncti on\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, hea daches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, c omputer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injur y\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex r egional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other rela tively 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 d ysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\nA Cl ub Physio Dry Needling Courses registration includes:\n• All supplies ne eded for the course as needles\, tissues\n• Coloured and illustrated cou rse manual\n• Tea and Coffee on each day\n• Certificate of attendance in a digital form\n• One free premium listing of your practice on our we bsite\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, o steopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kines iologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally pe rmitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needl ing or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, adv anced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advan ced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnit y insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome s ports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with 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 organizati on or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an accoun t\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that register ing your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow st ep 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 c hoose 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 T ransfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the paymen t details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that yo u have made your booking.
