Neurologic Dry Needling for Cranio-Cervical Pain & Dysfunction is an advanced level training program designed for clinicians that have prior dry needling training and clinical experience. This course will develop the knowledge and clinical skills required to safely and effectively diagnose and treat painful neuromuscular conditions in the cranial, facial and cervical regions. Details of the musculoskeletal and neuroanatomical relationships, both peripheral and central, that exist between the regions will be discussed. The role of inflammation (neurogenic) in the production of pain and dysfunction is described. Peri-neural needling techniques for both peripheral and cranial nerves is explained and demonstrated. This course focuses on improving clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes in this challenging patient population. Complex clinical conditions such as concussions, migraines, TMD, otological symptoms and cervicogenic dizziness are discussed and treatment plans are presented.
[Prerequisite-prior DN training/experience is required. Your training can be with a different continuing education provider, you do not need to be trained specifically by IDN]
The purpose of the Neurologic Dry Needling for Cranio-Cervical Pain & Dysfunction course is to obtain knowledge and clinical skills necessary to diagnose and treat cranial and cervical soft tissue pain and dysfunction.

I've really enjoyed all the IDN courses. The Cranio- Cervical course will be very useful to help the patient population I see in private practice.
Really enjoyed the IDN courses RYAN RABORN, PTFrank makes the course and practical lab materials very comfortable and easy to practice/perform. The hands-on aspect is exceptional!
Hands on aspect is exceptional CHRIS SMOLKO, PTI have taken training on many medical topics at some of the finest medical institutions, including Johns Hopkins, Mayo and others. Dr. Frank Gargano is the best instructor I've ever had.
Best instructor I've ever had DR. RICHARD LOECHINGER, DCCourse was very clear and direct. All course materials were well presented with very good illustrations. Lots of research articles to go with the lecture. Learned a practical application to enforce proper technique.
Lots of research articles DAVID MALLGRAVE, PTThe comprehensiveness and depth of the IDN courses is unmatched. Being able to walk into the clinic and having the knowledge and skills to treat patients is the best part.
IDN course is unmatched JOHN GRIFFITH, PTFrank provided great clinical examples to help develop a deeper understanding of application. The practical application and getting greater understanding of the muscles of mastication and how they impact other body parts was very helpful.
Clinical examples to help develop a deeper understanding JENNIFER BRADLEY, PTThe structure of this 9.5-hour intensive practical classroom program addresses theory and key principles with extensive supervised participant practice
Sent out one month prior to the course to orient participants on the foundational contents and concepts that will be presented.
Multiple Keynote presentations with video support will begin each new section.
Use of 3D anatomy technology to improve the participants understanding and appreciation for the neurology and anatomical structures.
Interactive instructor demonstrations of the techniques is enhanced with video technology - always providing you the best seat in the house!
Interactive lab sessions allow participants to practice and discuss the techniques and with each other and with the instructor.
Participants are required to complete a post-course multiple choice assessment based on a case study to demonstrate understanding of the key objectives.
