The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment o f myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis th an treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and conn ective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contra ctured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upo n the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, whil e latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological con tractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referr ed pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nocic eptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus c ontributing 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 responses (LTR) which are modul ated 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 palpation or penetration with a need le. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigatio n of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of Tr Ps is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN n ormalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupl ed to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, st imulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts i n connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and r eferred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impa irments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consiste nt with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restric tions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tis sue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radicul opathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-ma ndibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herp etic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, noctu rnal 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 about Dry Ne edling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Course registration inc ludes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An illustrat ed electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help yo u best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Certificate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points depending on you r areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needl ing Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needlin g courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physioth erapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, m edical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within you r scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your regist ered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture expe rience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clini cal expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structur e of our DN courses.
