Dry Needling Webinar 4
State-of-the-Art 2021 - The Scientific Basis (most recent update). In this online review, Jan Dommerholt explores the most pertinent literature on myofascial pain and dry needling.
Description
Every year, about 200 new research studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, literature reviews, and case reports are published in the scientific literature. For the clinician, these many papers make it nearly impossible to keep up with the literature.
In this online review, Jan Dommerholt explores the most pertinent literature on myofascial pain and dry needling. The review includes studies on the mechanisms of myofascial pain, clinical applications, and new uses of dry needling, such as neurologic conditions (e.g., spasticity), performance enhancement, scar tissue and fascial adhesions, and tendinopathies.
For physical therapists: To use dry needling in Maryland, you must obtain 40 theoretical and 40 practical skills hours and submit them to the Maryland Board of Physical Therapy Examiners.
All theoretical instruction needs to be "instructor-led training (ILT)," which has been defined as "any type of training facilitated by an instructor, either in a classroom setting or online. ILT allows delegates and instructors/facilitators to interact and discuss the training material individually or in a group setting" (TrainingIndustry.com).
When you complete the Myopain Dry Needling series (DN1, DN2, and DN3), you will have 33.75 approved hours and be short 6.25 hours. You can obtain these hours through Myopain in a few different ways:
1) Take two Myopain Seminars DN Webinars, of which this is one. Webinars can be taken in any order at any time. We do not offer the webinars very often, so register as soon as you begin your Myopain Seminars dry needling education.
2) Look out for APTA of MD conferences. We frequently provide a workshop there where you can receive 3 hours
3) Take another Myopain Advanced Dry Needling course - Introduction to Fu's Subcutaneous Dry Needling (6.75 hrs), Dry Needling for Pelvic Pain (11 hrs), or Orofacial Dry Needling.
