Whether you’ve been practicing acupuncture or trigger point dry needling for years, or have no background in either one, you’ll learn to safely implement some of the most powerful needling treatments and techniques for pain. You’ll see immediate, dramatic results in the classroom and in your practice.

Dry Needling has been used by acupuncture practitioners for centuries. Recently, for mainly political reasons, it has been segregated from it’s acupuncture roots. This is unfortunate, because there are so many simple, safe, and effective points and techniques that can be easily incorporated into dry needling, greatly enhancing it’s effectiveness.

By taking advantage of the many well-established acupuncture points that are identical to myofascial, cutaneous, ligamentous, diffuse, and empirical trigger points, this course will maximize your effectiveness, while remaining within the boundaries and scope of dry needling,

We’ve taught needling techniques to thousands of healthcare providers, from seasoned chiropractors to emergency room physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed acupuncturists, to even many 1st-year students just beginning their healthcare studies. We know what you need to know and we know how to teach it.
