Bio Medical Dry Needling - Integrated Dry Needling

 February 24-26
Toronto

Course content:

(1)  Physiological mechanisms of needling:
  • Non-specific lesion inoculation for treating soft tissue pain and dysfunction
  • Non-specific needling for specific pain and diseases
             

(2) Neuroanatomy and pathophysiology of acu-reflex points::

  • Dynamic physiology of acu-reflex points;
  • Segmental innervation of acu-reflex point system;
  • Integrative neuromuscular acu-reflex point system (INMARPS) he integration of trigger    points system, neurosegmental system and traditional acupuncture system;
  • New concept of pain management for both acute and chronic pain;
  • Myofascial continuity and dysfunction

 (3) Clinical techniques and practice

  • Quantitative evaluation of patients to predict prognosis and efficacy of needling therapy;
  • Needling techniques for neuromuscular and ligamentous acu-reflex points of major muscles and joints;
  • Pain managemnent: selection of the most effective acu-reflex points for particular pathological conditions;
  • De-stress and biomechanical balance of musculoskeletal system to facilitate efficient, effective and task-oriented movement.
  • Clinical techniques for Pain Management, Age management , Sports medicine
  • Detailed Safety issues in clinical practice
