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. \n\n\n\nPrerequisite: Completion of the IDN Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation Course. \n\n\n\nPurpose \n\n\n\nThe 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). \n\n\n\nContent \n\n\n\nThis is all original content that can only be acquired through the IDN institute. \n\n\n\n\nAdvanced dry needling techniques for prevention\, pain management\, and optimizing human performance.\n\n\n\nUnderstanding of the anatomy\, neurology\, and physiology of microcirculation\, soft tissue healin\,g and remodeling.  \n\n\n\nClinical techniques for examination and management of peripheral nerve inflammation\, radiculopathy\,  and neuromuscular dysfunction\,\n\n\n\nAssessment of imbalance of the neuromusculoskeletal system and dry needling techniques for rebalancing homeostasis\,\n\n\n\nPre and post-symptom treatment in athletic performance\,\n\n\n\nHow peripheral nervous system inflammation influences musculoskeletal dysfunction and how to manage it with Integrative Dry Needling\n\n\n\nReview of evidence-based research data. \n\n\n\n\nCOURSE HOURS: \n\n\n\nFriday – 7:30 am registration – Course: 8:00 am to 6:00pmSaturday – 8:00 am to 6:00 pmSunday – 8:00 am to 4-5:00 pm URL:https://www.spoonerpt.com/events/advanced-neurologic-dry-needling-for-pain-management-and-performance-enhancement/ LOCATION:Spooner Phoenix\, 5040 N 15th Ave Suite 401\, Phoenix\, Arizona\, 85015\, United States CATEGORIES:Continuing Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.spoonerpt.com/wp-content/uploads/Phoenix-AZ-2026-advanced.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20260418T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20260418T133000 DTSTAMP:20260525T124623 CREATED:20260123T182725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T182730Z UID:10000160-1776499200-1776519000@www.spoonerpt.com SUMMARY:Internal: Introduction to Foot and Ankle Assessment\, Treatment and Semi-Custom Orthotic Prescription DESCRIPTION:Content is protected.

The focus of this course will be to assess and restore polyarticular muscular chain function of the thorax. Treatment interventions\, including manual and non-manual techniques to restore reciprocal and alternating respiratory and rotational function of the thorax\, will be covered. Participants will be able to immediately apply PRI clinical assessment and intervention strategies when treating diagnoses such as shortness of breath\, thoracic outlet syndrome\, and shoulder dysfunction. \n\n\n\nDate: March 1 – 2\, 2025Time: 7:30am – 5:00pmContact Hours: 15 URL:https://www.spoonerpt.com/events/an-integrated-approach-to-the-treatment-of-patterned-thoraco-abdominal-pathomechanics/ LOCATION:Spooner Uptown Chandler\, 1351 N.

Information is presented on the embryology of the viscera and connective tissue system as it applies to associated visceral and fascial anatomy. Each lecture incorporates the science behind and evidence supporting visceral and fascial-based manual therapy for patients with various musculoskeletal and pelvic health physical therapy diagnoses. \n\n\n\nThis manual therapy course emphasizes clinical reasoning with the goal of immediate implementation of an extensive number of treatment techniques into an existing musculoskeletal and pelvic health practice. The material presented has applications for diagnosis\, such as abdominopelvic pain\, gastroparesis\, GERD\, constipation\, abdominal adhesions\, and urinary issues. Additionally\, the solid organs of the GI system have a profound effect on the thorax\, contributing to spinal issues and breathing pattern dysfunction (Bordoni & Zanier\, 2013). Coursework is geared toward the pelvic health therapist who wishes to integrate advanced manual therapy skills into their treatment regime for their pelvic and orthopedic clientele. \n\n\n\nThis course includes extensive lab work. All attendees should come prepared to participate as both clinician and patient. Male course attendees may participate fully in the entire course\, while pregnant attendees may participate in a limited capacity\, as deep palpation of the abdomen is ill-advised for pregnant women. \n\n\n\nSpecial Considerations \n\n\n\nThis continuing education course includes extensive lab work\, which will be demoed and guided by the instructor. Participants should plan on partnering with another registered therapist or a small group in order to get the full learning experience from this course. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites \n\n\n\nPelvic Function Level 1 at a minimum. For Pediatric therapists\, completion of training such as Pediatrics Level 1 – Treatment of Bowel and Bladder Disorders live course. It is also highly recommended the participant have experience with assessing and treating patients with bowel dysfunction.

This course does include\, but is not limited to\, dry needling of taut bands of muscle (i.e. trigger points) as originally introduced by Travell & Simons. That is\, peri-neural dry needling and needle puncture of tendons\, ligaments\, musculotendinous junctions\, teno-osseous junctions\, and bone (i.e. “periosteal pecking”) will also be taught as essential components of musculoskeletal needling practice. More specifically\, peri-neural and peri-vascular dry needling will be instructed for the purpose of improving microcirculation and disrupting fibrosis in chronic neurogenic pain conditions (e.g. an impacted median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome). Dry needling is certainly a lot more than sticking needles in trigger points! \n\n\n\nDry needling will be taught within the framework of western musculoskeletal diagnoses\, not within the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)\, and not for the purpose of altering the flow of Qi or energy along traditional Chinese meridians. More specifically\, the participant will learn evidence-based guidelines\, recommended “point” locations\, and dosages for the use of dry needling in the treatment of specific neuromusculoskeletal conditions (not just individual muscles!) including: whiplash-associated disorders\, cervicogenic headaches\, tension-type headaches\, migraine headaches\, rib syndromes\, facet joint syndromes\, cervical radiculopathy\, mechanical neck pain\, carpal tunnel syndrome\, shoulder impingement syndrome\, lateral epicondylalgia\, and temporomandibular dysfunction. In addition\, the most recent evidence underpinning the mechanical\, hypoalgesic (central\, segmental\, peripheral)\, neurophysiologic\, chemical\, and hormonal effects of dry needling will be presented. \n\n\n\nBrain imaging studies have demonstrated that dry needling of “key” distal points (not trigger points)\, that are not “onsite” with the patient’s symptoms\, stimulates the descending pain inhibitory systems or cortical areas of the brain that are involved in pain control. Furthermore\, much of the literature that “dry needling” draws from uses the term “acupuncture” in its title\, and many of these studies have used both traditional acupuncture points and myofascial trigger points in their treatment regimes. Thus\, a foundational knowledge of the nomenclature and the location of several key traditional acupuncture points will be discussed on this course to help the clinician understand and interpret the existing biomedical acupuncture and dry needling literature within the context of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. However\, this course in dry needling does not constitute training\, of any kind\, in the practice of traditional Chinese acupuncture or Oriental Medicine. More specifically\, this course does not teach participants to needle acupuncture points within traditional Chinese meridians. \n\n\n\nFor the management of headache\, cervical\, thoracic\, and upper extremity pain syndromes\, dry needling will be taught as one part of the treatment package\, but not the only part. That is\, the most recent literature clearly supports the inclusion of upper cervical and/or cervicothoracic HVLA thrust manipulation for the effective treatment of TMJ disorders\, subacromial pain syndrome and cervicogenic headaches. More specifically\, upper cervical manipulation has been found to reduce headache frequency\, intensity\, duration\, and disability associated with cervicogenic headaches in the short and long-term. Additionally\, upper cervical spinal manipulation and dry needling have been found effective at reducing pain and improving active mouth opening in patients with TMD. Nevertheless\, within the emerging literature\, the combination of spinal manipulation and dry needling is showing the most promise for “best practice” models in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This is the Osteopractic approach in essence—the combination of spinal manipulation (SMT-1\, SMT-2\, SMT-3 & SMT-4)\, extremity manipulation (EMT-1)\, and dry needling (DN-1 & DN-2) for the evidence-based treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Friday\, October 4th 202412:00PM – 8:00PM Friday\, October 5th 20248:00AM – 6:30PM Friday\, October 6th 20248:00AM – 3:30PM Where: Spooner Uptown Chandler1351 N.

In addition\, the most recent evidence underpinning the mechanical\, hypoalgesic (central\, segmental\, peripheral)\, neurophysiologic\, chemical\, and hormonal effects of dry needling will be presented. \n\n\n\nBrain imaging studies have demonstrated that dry needling of “key” distal points (not trigger points)\, that are not “onsite” with the patient’s symptoms\, stimulates the descending pain inhibitory systems or cortical areas of the brain that are involved in pain control. Furthermore\, much of the literature that “dry needling” draws from uses the term “acupuncture” in its title\, and many of these studies have used both traditional acupuncture points and myofascial trigger points in their treatment regimes. Thus\, a foundational knowledge of the nomenclature and the location of several key traditional acupuncture points will be discussed on this course to help the clinician understand and interpret the existing biomedical acupuncture and dry needling literature within the context of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. However\, this course in dry needling does not constitute training\, of any kind\, in the practice of traditional Chinese acupuncture or Oriental Medicine. More specifically\, this course does not teach participants to needle acupuncture points within traditional Chinese meridians. \n\n\n\nFor the management of headache\, cervical\, thoracic\, and upper extremity pain syndromes\, dry needling will be taught as one part of the treatment package\, but not the only part. That is\, the most recent literature clearly supports the inclusion of upper cervical and/or cervicothoracic HVLA thrust manipulation for the effective treatment of TMJ disorders\, subacromial pain syndrome and cervicogenic headaches. More specifically\, upper cervical manipulation has been found to reduce headache frequency\, intensity\, duration\, and disability associated with cervicogenic headaches in the short and long-term. Additionally\, upper cervical spinal manipulation and dry needling have been found effective at reducing pain and improving active mouth opening in patients with TMD. Nevertheless\, within the emerging literature\, the combination of spinal manipulation and dry needling is showing the most promise for “best practice” models in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. This is the Osteopractic approach in essence—the combination of spinal manipulation (SMT-1\, SMT-2\, SMT-3 & SMT-4)\, extremity manipulation (EMT-1)\, and dry needling (DN-1 & DN-2) for the evidence-based treatment of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Friday\, October 4th 202412:00PM – 8:00PM Friday\, October 5th 20248:00AM – 6:30PM Friday\, October 6th 20248:00AM – 3:30PM Where: Spooner Uptown Chandler1351 N.

A special emphasis will also be given to a variety of HVLA thrust manipulation procedures used to treat the cervicothoracic junction (C7-T3) including side-lying\, prone\, sitting and supine variations of such. \n\n\n\nAn evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of deep cervical flexor dysfunction will be undertaken; in addition\, the best way to train the deep neck flexors will be instructed. Furthermore\, the inter-relationship between arthrogenic muscle inhibition of the craniocervical flexors and the immediate changes in motor control post HVLAT manipulation of specifically the upper cervical spine (C0/1 and C1/2) articulations will be explored. \n\n\n\nA comprehensive literature review of the neurophysiological effects of HVLAT manipulation will be presented and will include evidence to support alterations post-HVLAT manipulation in feed-forward activation times\, isometric muscle strength\, resting EMG activity of segmentally associated muscles\, and passive range of motion. An exploration of pain physiology as it applies specifically to post manipulation hypoalgesic effects will be presented\, and an overview of the sympathoexcitatory effects seen in the upper limbs following spinal manipulation will be explored. \n\n\n\nCurrent research (RCTs and systematic reviews) to support the effectiveness of HVLAT and exercise in the treatment of cervicogenic headaches\, idiopathic neck pain and whiplash associated disorders will be presented. This course is 70% hands-on and 30% didactic instruction. SMT-1 must be completed prior to taking SMT-2.
