DRY NEEDLING LEVEL 1 EXPANDED
By: International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine

Course Description

32 Education Hours: 7 hours of Online Self Study + 25 Hours of hands-on experience

The online course includes exam questions for each lecture. This online portion must be completed before the practical course and will fulfill written examination requirements for dry-needling courses.

The three-day intensive will prepare participants to treat the most common diagnoses involving myofascial pain. The importance of safety and clean techniques are taught and practiced throughout the workshop, ensuring that participants become accustomed to working with gloves and maintaining a neat and safe workspace throughout. They will practice the techniques of inserting, manipulating, removing, and disposing of the needles on the first morning of the course.

Students will learn and practice using superficial dry needling including fascia and scars, periosteal pecking, and deep dry needling of the buttock, thigh, shoulder, cervical, and lumbar muscles. Case studies are included to apply clinical reasoning and recognize common indications for dry needling. This course includes practical competency exams at the end of each day.
