The Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement course (3 days) is designed for licensed healthcare professionals that have a desire to elevate their treatment of musculoskeletal 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 for applying dry needling using the peripheral nerve mapping concept. Advanced neurological and musculoskeletal concepts, needling techniques and treatments will be presented and practiced 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.
Pre-requisite: Completion of the IDN Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation Course.
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).

Identify a strategy for the prevention and management of adverse responses to dry needling during a case study.
Independently choose the correct neuro-trigger point treatment sites for safe application of dry needling treatment during lab sessions.
Correctly defend the IDN system for treatment of musculoskeletal pain based on the unique neurology and physiology of neuro-trigger points.
Independently identify one clinical, legislative, policy/procedure, and billing barrier to integrating the IDN system into the participant’s physical therapy practice.
The structure of this course 27-hour intensive practical classroom program addresses theory and key principles with extensive supervised participant practice.
This course is the most comprehensive and thorough course I have ever attended. The details and logic behind the neurologic dry needling makes perfect sense. I cannot wait to apply everything that I have learned over this weekend course!
