The ph ysiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment ob jectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a differe nt physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar t issue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots wit hin 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 spo ntaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. T rPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and h ypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. T rPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent n ociceptive 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 respon ses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a sp inal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of th e contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation o r penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor end plate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, i nflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation of the ta ut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locall y and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activa te mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre affere nts\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated througi stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via st retching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present \, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and functional limitati ons. TrPs are sources 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 musc le fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fasc ial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagno ses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, t endinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repe titive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\ , pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\ , sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorde rs.\n\nIf you are a soft tissue therapist and DN is in your scope of pract ice\, 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 Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needli ng Online Course includes:\n\n All resource material shared during the on line course\;\n Certificate of attendance in digital form (with CPD point s/hours depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 1 attendance course and the DN level 2 c ertification course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n\nPle ase note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / profession als (clinical physiotherapists (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 your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or pre vious acupuncture experience required but presumed anatomy\, advanced palp ation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insuranc e as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite.\nSome sports / re hab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of practice with your professional organization\, theoretical and practical experience and havin g professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional organization or you can email us here. \n\n[/spoiler]\n[spoiler title='How to book for this c ourse?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; regist er 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 preli minary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your d etails 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\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choose 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 Transfer: I f you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have mad e your booking.
