Trigger Point Acupuncture / Dry Needling: Intro to Structural Unwinding and the Removal of Pain Patterns


  • Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine 440 Franklin Street, Suite 500 Bloomfield, NJ 07003 USA (map)

Treating the myofascial pain patient can be confusing to the practitioner if the pain symptom and the referral source aren’t always found in the same location. This course will give you the tools to evaluate aberrant movement patterns, manual muscle testing for weaknesses, palpation skills to identify change in fascial integrity and the needling technique to release and remove myofascial congestion and pain.

Trigger Point Acupuncture / Dry Needling is a technical skill that requires hands on learning. This course will give the practitioner the “feel” for finding the areas of myofascial resistance and the needling experience to facilitate the local twitch response needed to remove pain patterns.
