Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for The Assessment & Dry Needling Treatment of Tendinopathy is a 2-day, 95% hands-on-training course. In this advanced level course, you will master the 5 P’s system of diagnostic US assessment and treatment to confidently identify normal anatomy to facilitate clinical decision-making. Ultrasound guided dry needling treatment is focused on utilizing percutaneous needle tenotomy (PNT) for all the shoulder tendon insertions and other common sites of tendinopathy of the upper and lower extremity such as lateral elbow, achilles tendon insertion, patella tendon, quadriceps tendon insertion, gluteus medius and minimus insertions. Research of PNT on commonly visualized tendon dysfunction supports that dry needling, in the symptomatic areas, can yield long-term benefits that rival wet needling procedures i.e. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections. You will learn and be able to give visual feedback to your patients demonstrating the anatomical condition of their joints and tendons.
[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 Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for The Assessment & Dry Needling Treatment of Tendinopathy is to obtain the knowledge and psychomotor skills necessary to visualize joints, muscles and tendons to safely and effectively deliver dry needling treatment.
This 2-day applied-learning course combines live instructor demonstrations with practical hands-on labs. Students participate in small groups of 2 -3 clinicans working together to obtain reliable and reproducible US images that are evaluated by the instructor with individual feedback provided. Supervised lab sessions are performed to safely and effectively visualize, and deliver dry needle treatment to pathologic tendons and other soft tissue structures.

The pre-course handout was very helpful. There was plenty of time to really dive deep into assessing and then needling. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and there was enough lab time to really practice and learn the technique.
