The physiological basis for DN depends upon the targeted tissue a nd treatment objectives. The treatment of myofascial trigger points ( TrPs ) has a different physiological basis than treatment of excessive muscle t ension\, scar tissue\, fascia\, and connective tissues. TrPs are hyperirri table spots within a taut band of contractured skeletal muscle fibres that produce local and/or referred pain when stimulated.\n\nTrPs are divided i nto active and latent TrPs dependent upon the degree of irritability. Acti ve TrPs are spontaneously painful\, while latent TrPs are only painful whe n stimulated. TrPs are physiological contractures\, characterized by local ischemia and hypoxia\, local and referred pain and altered muscle activat ion patterns. TrPs activate muscle nociceptors and are peripheral sources of persistent nociceptive input\, thus contributing to the development of peripheral and central sensitization.\n\nDN can be divided into deep and s uperficial DN. Deep DN has been showo to inactivate TrPs by eliciting loca l twitch responses (LTR) which are modulated by the central nervous system . A LTR is a spinal cord reflex thau is characterized by an involuntary co ntraction of the contractured taut band\, which can be elicited by a snapp ing palpation or penetration with a needle. The LTR has been shown to be a ssociated with alleviation and mitigation of spontaneous electrical activi ty or motor endplate noise\; a reduction of the concentration of numerous nociceptive\, inflammatory\, and immune system related chemicals and relax ation of the taut band.\n\nDeep DN of TrPs is associated with reduced loca l and referred pain\, improved range of motion and decreased TrP irritabil ity both locally and more remotely. DN normalizes the chemical milieu and pH of skeletal muscle and restores local circulation. Superficial DN is th ought to activate mechanoreceptors coupled to slow conducting unmyelinated C fibre afferents\, and indirectly\, stimulate the anterior cingular cort ex. Superficial DN may also be mediated through stimulation of A delta fib res\, or via stretching of fibroblasts in connective tissue. Superficial D N is associated with reduced local and referred pain and improved range of motion.\n\nDN may be incorporated into a treatment plan when myofascial T rPs are present\, which may lead to impairments in posture\, pain and func tional limitations. TrPs are sources of persistent peripheral nociceptive input and their inactivation is consistent with current pain management in sights DN also is indicated with restrictions in range of motion due to co ntractured 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 radiculopathies\, joint dysfunction\, dis k pathology\, tendinopathies\, cranio-mandibular dysfunction\, headaches a nd migraines\, tension-type headaches\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, computer- related or repetitive strain disorders\, whiplash associated injury\, spin al dysfunction\, pelvic pain\, post-herpetic neuralgia\, complex regional pain syndromes\, sports injuries\, nocturnal cramps and other relatively u ncommon 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 tec hnique to help your patients and clients overcome their pain and dysfuncti on.\n\nFor more information about Dry Needling\, click here.\n\nA Club Phy sio Dry Needling Course registration includes:\n\n All practice needles s upplied for the course\;\n An illustrated electronic course 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 digita l form (with CPD points depending on your areas approval / accreditation)\ ;\n Pathway to completing the Dry Needling Level 2 course and certifying as a dry needling practitioner\;\n One free listing of your practice on o ur website.\n\nPlease note:\nDry Needling courses are for healthcare thera pists / professionals (clinical physiotherapists (PT's)\, chiropractors (D C's)\, osteopaths (DO's)\, podiatrists\, soft tissue and manual therapists \, kinesiologists\, doctors\, nurses\, medical specialists and acupuncturi sts) for whom dry needling is within your scope of practice and you are le gally permitted to needle in your registered country / state. No minimum d ry needling or previous acupuncture experience required but presumed anato my\, advanced palpation skills and clinical expertise is expected due to t he advanced nature and in depth structure of our DN courses. Professional indemnity insurance as per your professional body is also a pre-requisite. \nSome sports / rehab / massage therapists can apply subject to scope of p ractice with your professional organization\, theoretical and practical ex perience and having professional indemnity insurance.\nIf you are not sure whether DN falls within your scope of practice\, ask your professional or ganization or you can email us here. \n[/spoiler]\n\n \;\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Prof ile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your details does not book you onto the course - yo u need to follow step 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you h ave registered your details\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choose your payment method\; to book\, click on the Subm it button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\ ; Payment by Bank Transfer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simpl y follow the payment details on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you have made your booking.
