Dry needling actually does change the stiffness of trigger points, at least in the short term.

Interesting study here about treating sciatica pain between 4-6/10. Acupuncture did slightly better than traction, I wish they would’ve had a control group with no treatment to better see the effects.

If your #dryneedling instructor is not giving you this level of attention, you are at the wrong course!!!

@TaiwanOzPhysio Yes you have to be careful of depth and angle to avoid insertion into the lung field

It hurts, but it works!! Dry needling for plantar fasciitis is definitely a useful addition for many people with pain on the bottom of their feet!

Even when controlling for sham needling for subacromial pain, and only #dryneedling into muscle trigger points, this study still found that patients reported feeling better well after the treatment period.

Here is another video from last weekend’s spinal manipulation class where I’m demonstrating a technique to the sacroiliac joint.

This is the type of detail that I feel is crucial for carrying out appropriate technique, whether that be for dry needling or for thrust manipulation

One of the biggest things we focus on is helping clinicians actually apply this in real situations, not just learn it in a course setting.
