The physiological basis for DN dep ends upon the targeted tissue and treatment objectives. The treatment of m yofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connect ive tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable spots within a taut band of contractu red skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when st imulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into active and latent TrPs dependent upon t he degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while l atent TrPs are only painful when stimulated. TrPs are physiological contra ctures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation patterns. TrPs activate muscle nocicept ors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus cont ributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superficial DN. Deep DN has been shown to in activate TrPs by eliciting local twitch responses (LTR) which are modulate d by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is cha racterized by an involuntary contraction of the contractured taut band\, w hich can be elicited by a snapping palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associated with alleviation and mitigation o f spontaneous electrical activity or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune sys tem related chemicals and relaxation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and referred pain\, improved range of mot ion and decreased TrP irritability both locally and more remotely. DN norm alizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local ci rculation. Superficial DN is thought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimu late the anterior cingular cortex. Superficial DN may also be mediated thr ough stimulation of A delta fibres\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in c onnective tissue. Superficial DN is associated with reduced local and refe rred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a t reatment plan when myofascial TrPs are present\, which may lead to impairm ents in posture\, pain and functional limitations. TrPs are sources of per sistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictio ns in range of motion due to contractured muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue . TrPs have been identified in numerous diagnoses and can treat radiculopa thies\, joint dysfunction\, disk pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandi bular dysfunction\, headaches and migraines\, tension-type headaches\, car pal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, wh iplash associated injury\, spinal dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpeti c neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturna l cramps and other relatively uncommon disorders.\n\nIf you are a soft tis sue therapist and DN is in your scope of practice\, then is it time for yo u to learn this amazing new technique to help your patients and clients ov ercome their pain and dysfunction.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needl ing\, click here.\nA Club Physio Dry Needling Courses registration include s:\n• All supplies needed for the course as needles\, tissues\n• Colou red and illustrated course manual\n• Tea\, Coffee and Lunch on each day\ n• Certificate of attendance in a digital form\n• One free premium lis ting of your practice on our website\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses a re for healthcare therapists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (P T's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissu e and manual therapists\, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical spec ialists and acupuncturists) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally permitted to needle in your registered countr y / state. No minimum dry needling or previous acupuncture experience requ ired but presumed anatomy\, advanced palpation skills and clinical experti se is expected due to the advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses.
