The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue and trea tment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle tension\ , scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirritable s pots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produc e local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided into act ive and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Active TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful when stimu lated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischem ia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activation pat terns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of pers istent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of periphe ral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and superfic ial DN. Deep DN has been shown to inactivate TrPs by eliciting local twitc h responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system. A LTR is a spinal cord reflex that is characterized by an involuntary contracti on of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapping pal pation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be associat ed with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activity or m otor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nocicep tive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relaxation o f the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced local and r eferred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritability bot h locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of s keletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is thought t o activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibr e afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cortex. Sup erficial DN may also be mediated througi stimulation of A delta fibres\, o r via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial DN is as sociated 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 limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input a nd their inactivation is consistent with current pain management insights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to contractu red muscle fibres or taut bands\, or other soft tissue restrictions\, such as fascial adhesions or scar tissue. TrPs have been identified in numerou s diagnoses and can treat radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, disk patho logy\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches and migr aines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer-related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spinal dysf unction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain sy ndromes\, 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 this amazing new technique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfunction.\n\n For more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Physio Dr y Needling Online Course includes:\n\n All resource material shared durin g the online course\;\n Certificate of attendance in digital form (with C PD points/hours depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\;\n Pat hway to completing the Dry Needling Level 1 attendance course and the DN l evel 2 certification course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\ ;\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare therapists / pr ofessionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (DC's)\, ost eopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists\, kinesio logists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturists) for w hom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are legally perm itted to needle in your registered country / state.
