The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial tri gger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\n TrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs ar e only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, char acterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and alte red muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are p eripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to t he development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divid ed into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the cent ral nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be e licited 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 endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentr ation of numerous nociceqtive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related c hemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decre ased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the ch emical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Su perficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow condu cting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the ante rior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulat ion of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tis sue. 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 postu re\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent perip heral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range o f motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft t issue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have b een identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunc tion\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel sy ndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associ ated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, 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 th is amazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click h ere.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Course registration includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An illustrated electronic co urse manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help you best prepare)\ ;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Certificate of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 2 cour se and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are fo r healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\ , chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialis ts and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of pract ice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / s tate.
