SUMMARY:An Integrated Approach to the Treatment of Patterned Thoraco-Abdominal Pathomechanics
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \n\n\n\nThis advanced lecture and lab course is structured so that clinicians will gain an appreciation for the postural influences of: rib torsion\, asymmetrical oblique strength\, inconsistent breathing patterns\, habitual use of accessory respiratory musculature\, and a positionally restricted diaphragm. 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

SUMMARY:DN-1: Dry Needling for Craniofacial\, Cervicothoracic & Upper Extremity Conditions
DESCRIPTION:DN-1: Dry Needling for Craniofacial\, Cervicothoracic & Upper Extremity Conditions\n\n\n\nCourse Description:\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn superficial and deep dry needling techniques for the treatment of craniofacial\, cervicothoracic and upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions. 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.

SUMMARY:MSKU-2: Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Lower Extremities
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\n\n\n\nDiagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSKU) is an evidence-based\, cost-efficient\, imaging modality. MSKU has diagnostic accuracy comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for common soft tissue pathology\, including enthesopathy\, tendinopathy\, ligament pathology\, joint pathology\, and compressive neuropathies of the lower extremities. Licensed healthcare professionals including physical therapists (PT)\, medical doctors (MD)\, osteopathic doctors (DO)\, Chiropractors (DC)\, physician assistants (PA)\, and nurse practitioners (NP) meet the educational requirements to practice MSKU and work towards the prerequisites needed to sit for the national registry exam in musculoskeletal sonography (RMSK). \n\n\n\nThis two-day live diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound course includes 70% hands-on practical training and 30% didactic instruction. This course focuses on the essential components of diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound of the lower extremity. Participants will perform diagnostic ultrasound on the hip\, knee\, ankle\, and foot. Both normal anatomy and pathology of specific tissues will be addressed in detail. This course does include but is not limited to tissue specific diagnoses of the lower extremity\, including joint effusions\, hip capsule/labral pathology\, gluteal/hamstring tendinopathy\, patellar/quad tendinopathy\, patellar impingement syndromes\, collateral ligament pathology\, meniscal pathology\, osteoarthritis\, achilles/peroneal/posterior tibialis tendinopathy\, and plantar fasciitis. \n\n\n\nLecture and live demonstrations with expert sonographers\, using state-of-the-art equipment\, are utilized to prepare the participant for extensive scanning during the laboratory sessions. The upper and lower extremity courses (MSKU-1 & 2) combined with the Physics in MSK ultrasound (MSKU-3) and RMSK Registry Exam Preparation & Review (MSKU-4) courses are designed to successfully prepare the participant for the national RMSK registry exam. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Today
