Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement

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).

1. Independently identify a minimum of three peripheral neuro-trigger points for a given case study.
2. Independently integrate dry needling into a treatment plan for a given neuromuscular condition based on three physiological mechanisms.
3. Independently evaluate peripheral nerve (soft tissue) dysfunctions relating to a given musculoskeletal condition and pain.
4. Identify a strategy for the prevention and management of adverse responses to dry needling during a case study.
5. Independently choose the correct neuro-trigger point treatment sites for safe application of dry needling treatment during lab sessions.
6. Correctly defend the IDN system for treatment of musculoskeletal pain based on the unique neurology and physiology of neuro-trigger points.
7. Independently identify one clinical, legislative, policy/procedure, and billing barrier to integrating the IDN system into the participant’s physical therapy practice.
