MemberI was having a discussion with a coworker today regarding a patient that was referred to him for dry needling. He received the referral from a neurologist specifically for dry needling of patient with a C7 SCI (we think complete based on phone calls, but the patient has not been in for an eval yet). The patient and MD are requesting DN to the RUE and c-spine. We both have concerns about proceeding with dry needling due to the risk of autonomic dysreflexia and decreased (or loss) of sensation in the UE – does anyone have any experience utilizing dry needling with this patient presentation?

ParticipantI am PT that sustained an incomplete spinal cord injury with fracture at C4 with quadriparesis that resolved just 3 years ago. My coworker did IDN( Dr. Ma’s foundation class) on my left rhomboids, thoracic paraspinals and left periscapular as I was so tight with muscle spams. This helped immensely with muscle tightness and spams. I have decreased sensation all over with spasticity left LE. I did not have her do it on my c -spine.
