CNSP: Dry Needling for Spinal Pain Management Course Description
Imagine being able to place a needle so that it touches an inflamed lumbar facet or cervical articular pillar; creating changes in local circulation. Then imagine sending current down the shaft of the that needle so the stimulation is able to gate pain at the pain generator, and contract deep multifidi; promoting muscle activation and even more local circulation. Literally and figuratively piercing the veil of 50-100mm of skin, muscle, fascia and fat that nearly every other physical medicine modality must get through to ever hope to directly address the pain generating tissue.
In a physical medicine landscape where Adjustments have become a commodity, Rehab Exercises can be found online, and most Modalities either lack evidence or can be shipped to your door the next day for less than the cost of a visit; it’s more important than ever that Chiropractic Providers obtain skills and expertise that set them apart last specialists in their profession.
Most Dry Needling courses have traditionally included the cervical spine with the upper extremity in one weekend class and then the lumbar spine with the lower extremity in another. However, as Chiropractors, the vast majority of the patients who walk through our doors do so for treatment of spinal pain. That’s why we chose to dedicate an entire course to just focusing on the spine so you’re ready to use what you’ve learned from just one class on the vast majority of your patients.
In CNSP, we take an in-depth look at not only how to apply many Dry Needling techniques to the muscles, nerves and joints that make up the axial body; but also how to address the unique challenges that a nervous system suffering from chronic pain, can present. We discuss safety considerations for each region, as well as OSHA and CDC Universal Precautions and other responsibilities that come with adding Dry Needling to your practice.Â
The vast majority of time spent in the CNSP course is in the practicing of the physical art of Dry Needling. Just like adjusting, the more time spent practicing hands on in the lab, the more confidence you’ll have the day you begin Dry Needling in your own practice!
In addition to practicing the various Dry Needling techniques to treat common spinal pain complaints, we also review the literature as it pertains to Dry Needling and treatment of spinal pain; as well as discuss the history, theory and application of Dry Needling within a multi-modal care plan so you know exactly where it fits in with the rest of tools in your chiropractic tool belt.
