DESCRIPTION:[spoiler title='Important Information']\nDRY NEEDLING COURSE\;  LEVEL 1\; Kuwait City\, Kuwait (hospital venue tbc)\; 2 - 4 February 20 17 \nCourse times 3-8pm on day 1 and 8-5pm on days 2 and 3: contact detai ls are 00965 94477642\, email (info@profound-seminars.com) contact person is Saleh AlNori\,\n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='More Info']\nWhy Dry Need ling?\nDry Needliog (DN) is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filifo rm needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigge r points\, muscular\, and connective tissues for the management of neuromu sculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.\nDN is used to treat dysfunct ions in skeletal muscle\, fascia and connective tissue and diminish persis tent peripheral nociceptive input and reduce or restore impairments of fun ction leading to improved activity and participation. The physiological ba sis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiologic al basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia \, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut ban d of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referre d pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs de pendent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously pai nful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physio logical contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate m uscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive inp ut\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensit ization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has be en shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) whic h are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord refl ex that is characuerized by an involuntary 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 an d mitigation 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\nDe ep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improve d range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more rem otely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and res tores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanorece ptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indi rectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also b e mediated through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fi broblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorpo rated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may l ead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated w ith restrictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or t aut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can tr eat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\ , cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type h eadaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\ , post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injur ies\, 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 a bout Dry Needling\, click here.\n\n \;\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Cou rses registration includes:\n• All needle supplies needed for the course \; you will be asked to bring along some other equipment to the course\n • An illustrated electronic course manual\n• Tea / coffee / snacks on each day\n• A signed certificate of attendance\n• One free premium listing of your practice on our DNI.net website\nPlease note:\nDry Needli ng courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiot herapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\ , soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within yo ur scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your regis tered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture exp erience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clin ical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structu re of our DN courses.
