Dry Needling training and certification starts with Acupuncture Canada’s Dry Needling Level 1 (DN1) course. Dry Needling Level 1 presents the concepts and theories regarding myofascial trigger points and the mechanism of action of dry needling from a clinical and evidence-informed approach. A selection of common conditions will be addressed with skills applications of selected muscles. Safety guidelines are emphasized throughout.
Using the trigger point approach, Dry Needling Level 1 addresses treatment of conditions including: strain of hip flexors, rotators, piriformis syndrome, hamstring strain, Achille’s tendinitis, strain from immobilization in casts, posterior rotator cuff, ankle strain/sprain, shin splints, and knee strain.
The DN1 course starts with a 3-week online study component, including videos, narrated PPTs, online written test, and case management plans. Online study is followed by a 3-day intensive in-person component where students work in small groups with experienced instructors, to learn safe, effective needling techniques. Practical evaluation takes place on the last day of the in-person.
