About This Event

Lower Quadrant Dry Needling by ICE brings a modern approach to dry needling education with contemporary methods and tactical e-stim applications for the lower quadrant. This weekend lab intensive course will initially focus on safe and effective dry needling technique for the thoraco-lumbar spine, hip, anterior and posterior thigh, and lower leg; and then highlight strategic e-stim applications for common lower quadrant conditions. Quickly become a confident and proficient dry needling practitioner equipped with the tools, training, and knowledge to help your patients with everything from pain relief, to improved function and mobility, to athlete recovery.

Participants will also have access to pre-course lecture content including an introduction to dry needling, safety standards, current research-based rationale of therapeutic mechanisms, and advocacy; as well as video demonstration prep materials for the lab intensive component.

Course Objectives
  • Examine how our updated, research-based understanding of dry needling mechanisms fit into pathomechanistic models of function, pain, and rehab
  • Examine research trends associated with dry needling from early use to current state
  • Investigate some of the research-based treatment effects of dry needling in the context of targeted and specific treatment intent
  • Identify contraindications and precautions along associated with dry needling for the lower quarter
  • Identify relevant lower quarter myofascial and neurovascular anatomy associated with proper and effective application of dry needling
  • Discuss minor and major adverse events associated with dry needling and strategies to manage, mitigate, and minimize these risks with proper dry needling technique
  • Discuss and execute clean needle handling associated with dry needling techniques
  • Demonstrate safe and effective dry needling techniques to specified lower quarter anatomical tissue targets
  • Demonstrate strategic and effective execution of indwelling electrical stimulation circuits for the clinical management of lower quarter conditions

About the Host

The Institute of Clinical Excellence (ICE) was founded in 2012 with a vision of helping healthcare providers improve their clinical practice to serve patients with a fitness forward, manual therapy skilled, and psychologically informed style of treatment. We believe that by helping providers better understand the benefits (and limitations) of manual therapy techniques, the biopsychosocial components of the patient experience, and the judicious application of exercise load & intensity, we can fundamentally change the health landscape of our nation.
