Course Description
By the end of this advanced Level 3 course, participants will be able to:
Demonstrate advanced palpation and dry needling proficiency across cervical, thoracic, and abdominal muscle groups while maintaining strict safety parameters.
Accurately identify neurovascular boundaries and apply region-specific precautions when needling complex cervical and craniofacial structures.
Integrate dry needling treatment strategies for TMJ dysfunction, headaches, and myofascial pain affecting craniofacial musculature.
Perform safe and effective dry needling interventions for deep stabilizing musculature including multifidus, longus colli, and suboccipitals.
Utilize differential clinical reasoning to select appropriate muscles and sequence treatment for complex spinal and cervicogenic pain presentations.
Demonstrate professional communication, documentation, and post-needling patient education specific to sensitive cervical and craniofacial regions.
