The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trig ger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of e xcessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. T rPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal m uscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nT rPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of i rritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, chara cterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and alter ed muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are pe ripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to th e development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divide d into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the centr al nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be el icited by a snapping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has b een shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentra tion of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related ch emicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decrea sed TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the che mical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Sup erficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conduc ting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anter ior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulati on of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tiss ue. 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 postur e\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent periph eral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current p ain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft ti ssue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have be en identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunct ion\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syn drome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associa ted injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and o ther 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 thi s amazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their p ain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click he re.\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Courses registration includes:\n• All su pplies needed for the course as needles\, tissues\n• Coloured and illust rated course manual\n• Tea\, Coffee and Lunch on each day\n• Certifica te of attendance in a digital form\n• One free premium listing of your p ractice on our website\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthc are therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropr actors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual t herapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and ac upuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and y ou are legally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presu med anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses.
