Unique Concepts, Procedures & Techniques

1. Neurologic Dry Needling– we literally wrote the (text) book on it!  Our Neurologic Dry Needling (NDN) model is based on addressing neurogenic inflammation, the cause of the majority of pain and dysfunction, in a unique and easy to understand framework.
2. We offer Advanced Specialty Courses designed to elevate your clinical knowledge and effectiveness when treating difficult cases.
3. Peripheral nerve mapping  is our treatment model using the peripheral nervous system as a guideline for evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of soft tissue pain and dysfunction.
4. Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) of peripheral nerve sensitivity assists in predicting a patient’s prognosis when considering dry needling treatment.
5. A systemic model  that is reproducible and predictable that utilizes three types of neuro-trigger points; (1) Homeostatic  (2) Paravertebral and (3) Symptomatic that allow for an individualized treatment plan.
6. Clinical procedures for both prevention and treatment of soft tissue pain and dysfunction.
7. Special de-stressing technique enables optimal athletic performance.
8. Inflict change, not pain- the majority of our needling techniques are painless or with minimal discomfort.
9. Education in needling mechanisms, from microcirculation to neurochemistry, necessary to treat various conditions like spasm, radiculopathy, hypersensitivity, tissue edema, neuro-trigger points and neuromuscular imbalance.
10. Self-maintenance techniques to greatly reduce the cumulative physical stress of daily clinical practice that manual therapists experience, which ultimately will prolong your professional career.
