The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatmen t of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and c onnective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of con tractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain w hen stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, w hile latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and ref erred pain and altered muscle activation qatterns. TrPs activate muscle no ciceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thu s 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 responses (LTR) which are mo dulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut ba nd\, which can be elicited by a snapping palpation or penetration with a n eedle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitiga tion of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduct ion of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immu ne system related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. D N normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores lo cal circulation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors co upled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediat ed through stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblast s in connective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local an d referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated in to a treatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to i mpairments in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consi stent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with rest rictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut band s\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses ane can treat radi culopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio -mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches \, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorder s\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-h erpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, no cturnal cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a so ft 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 clie nts overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Course registration includes:\n\n All practice needles supplied for the course\;\n An illust rated electronic course manual (sent our weeks ahead of the course to help you best prepare)\;\n Tea\, coffee and snacks on each day\;\n Certifica te of attendance in printed or digital form (with CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Ne edling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n O ne free listing of your practice on our website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Need ling courses are for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physi otherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrist s\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\ , medical speciamists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your reg istered country / state.
