Course Description:

This Dry Needling (DN) – Hybrid Level 2 course is designed to further develop and reinforce the use of specific examination and treatment skills that facilitate the reduction of pain and dysfunction in patients with general neuro-musculoskeletal disorders. Instruction focuses on the use of dry needling (DN) techniques using solid filament needles directed at select soft tissue impairments and nerve paths in the lower extremity and spine. Using a case based teaching approach, this course builds on our Level 1 course with more anatomically sensitive treatment areas as well clinical integration into a variety of patient cases. Participants will further investigate the emerging evidence of treatment effectiveness, proposed mechanisms of action, and the legal and safety considerations surrounding the use of dry needling.

Participants are required to successfully complete SPTE’s Introduction to Dry Needling course or have completed another introductory (level 1) dry needling course. SPTE will review the previous educator’s content to determine appropriate qualification to attend this course.
