🔪Surgery is something most people don't take lightly. We have a number of research articles showing how - in non-traumatic cases, outcomes from surgery (pain, function and quality of life) are no better than conservative care or no surgery! Here are some reviews of those RCTs.
✨Good clinicians are well informed of their patients' options.

🧬Keeping you informed....It's in our DNA.

📍Look for an upcoming course full of updated evidence on dry needling, pain science and more!

Reviews like this make us so happy. It's why we created Dry Needling Academy. We wanted to provide courses that made clinicians, not just good dry needlers, but also helped them become their best selves. Clinicians who were excited about their work. Come see what we're all about. Head to our website (link in bio) for course descriptions, dates and locations.

TMD can be such a nuisance! Talking, eating, yawning, sleeping, waking....all painful. We've all seen the toll it can take on a patient.
👊Dry needling is such a powerful tool for patients with TMD. With even just 2 muscles (temporalis and masseter) you can make a HUGE change for these folks. Add in other muscles that can contribute mechanically: the suboccipitals, upper cervical multifidus and erectors, SCM, pecs, medial and lateral pterygoids and you've got yourself some MAGIC.🪄
This study specifically looks at immediate effects of dry needling - and no surprise, it works. Unfortunately the authors did not provide specifics on technique (other than "deep dry needling", or dosing, but we are grateful for more evidence of dry needling's usefulness!
✨Come learn how to needle masseter and temporalis on an upcoming Beyond Foundations course!

🔆Summer is heating up! What better way to end it than with a continuing education course that will energize you when you get back into the clinic!

Our dry needling courses are truly so much more than just learning how to insert a needle. We believe that needling is most powerful when seamlessly incorporated into your practice with clinical reasoning and with reinforcement using tools you already apply in practice. And that's how we teach it.

✨ With the most optimal instructor to participant ratio out there, you will walk away confident AND competant in using your squeaky new tool.

👉Don't miss out! Register for a course today!!

We are so excited to welcome Kelli to the DNA team. In addition to having an impressive alphabet behind her name, Kelli is a non-intimidating and well spoken educator who is comfortable teaching all levels of learners. She has the clinical chops to back up what she's teaching AND she's a super nice human to boot! You're gonna love her.
Having instructors that have extensive clinical experience and depth is an important piece to the whole DNA package. And Kelli exemplifies these values.
Join us on a future course and you may get lucky enough to have Kelli assisting. Check out our website to register for an upcoming course!
