Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement
April 24 @ 8:00 am – April 26 @ 5:00 pm
Description
The Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement certification course (3 days) is designed for licensed healthcare professionals who have the desire to elevate their treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This one-of-a-kind course provides original information that can only be acquired through our institute. The participant will be provided with a deeper understanding of the physiologic and therapeutic effects of dry needling. Negative effects of neurogenic inflammation and microcirculation abnormalities will be discussed, enhancing participants’ understanding of applying dry needling using the peripheral nerve mapping concept. Emphasis is placed on nerve entrapments, compression, and areas of irritation that drive the resultant trigger points commonly seen in clinical practice. Advanced neurological and musculoskeletal concepts and needling techniques will be presented and practiced to address these dysfunctions in this primarily lab-based course. The integration of electrical nerve stimulation (ENS) will be emphasized as an important adjunct to dry needling treatment. Focus is on assuring safe and effective advanced dry needling skills with sound clinical decision-making.
Prerequisite: Completion of the IDN Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation Course.
Purpose
The purpose of the Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling Course is to obtain advanced clinical decision-making and confidence to assess and treat all neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Upon successful completion of the Advanced course, the IDN participant is elevated to a Certified Integrative Dry Needling practitioner (CIDN).
Participants are required to complete a pre-course multiple-choice assessment based on the foundation course material and clinically relevant questions. At the conclusion of the Advanced course, participants are required to pass a practical certification examination based on a clinical case study demonstrating clinical reasoning and decision-making related to the Advanced course concepts. A passing score of 80% is required to be considered Certified in Integrative Dry Needling (CIDN).
