DIN-2: Electrical & Perineural Needling Approaches

Manual Physical Therapy Alliance

Objectives

By the end of this course participants will be able to:
List 5 indications to performing electrical dynamic integrative needling (DIN) in a given patient population.
List 5 contraindications to performing electrical-DIN in a given patient population.
Correctly determine the primary pain mechanism driving the presentation of a given patient case.
Correctly explain the current theoretical mechanisms of electrical-DIN in regards to pain neurosciences.
Correctly justify the use of electrical-DIN in a given patient presentation.

Target Audience

Licensed PT, MD, DO, DC or NMD or a student enrolled in a PT, MD, DO, DC or NMD program. Please bring proof of licensure or student ID to class.

Confirmation Notes

*All MD, DO and NMD students are eligible to attend. PT students must be in their 2nd or 3rd year of study or attend with a Professor, CI, or PT mentor.
*DIN-1 is a prerequisite to DIN-2 unless you have previous needling experience and training. If you have taken at least 24 hours of needling training from a reputable organization accredited by a national or state professional organization or body, you may attend DIN-2 without taking DIN-1.

Description

Physical therapists that complete DIN 1 & 2 and become certified in Dynamic Integrative Needling (Cert. DIN) qualify for one free year of membership to the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in the UK.
This 27-hour course will be supplemented with online modules strategically developed to maximize use of the three-day live instruction. DIN-2 is a conditions-driven course instructing participants on how to incorporate electrical & perineural needling to address a clinically dysfunctional neuromusculoskeletal patient presentation. Emphasis will be placed on how to treat the sensitized peripheral and central nervous systems. Participants will be exposed to current evidence-informed theoretical models that will reconcile physiologic tissue response with pain neuroscience and implement electrical dynamic integrative needling with instructional movement strategies for patient reinforcement.
COURSE MODULES:
Safety & contraindications.
Mechanisms & evidence for electrical needling approaches.
Electrical needling dosage & parameters.
Mechanisms of perineural needling.
Evidence-based review of upper quadrant conditions.
Evidence-based review of lower quadrant conditions.

COMMON CONDITIONS COVERED IN THE COURSE WILL INCLUDE:
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar & sacral segmental electrical needling approaches, as well as segmental reasoning to address distal conditions.

Electrical needling strategies for chronic myofascial pain syndrome, with an emphasis on influencing the descending pain inhibitory system.
Headaches:
Cervicogenic, tension type and migraine needling management.
Shoulder:
Myofascial shoulder pain.
Tendinopathy.
Subacromial impingement.

*Online modules include built-in assessment. Participants must pass with a score of 75% or better to qualify for certification.*
A 100+ page manual is provided with all lectures and detailed needling intervention descriptions to course participants.
