First as a student and later as an assistant instructor dry needling I noticed that there is a certain need amongst students and colleagues for a few clinical and practical examples or cases concerning practicing dry needling (DN). This is the reason why I wanted to write this practical quick guide which hopefully can contribute to develop confidence in effective needling. Dry needling is an innovative clinical successful and reasonable evidence based tool for the elimination of myofascial trigger points and thereby diminishing myofascial pain and movement restriction. It is important that musculoskeletal therapists apply it properly because it can give fast and lasting relief. On the other hand if dry needling and myofascial pain is not thoroughly understood there is obviously not a fast and lasting relief which could lead to frustrations for therapists and patients and could give dry needling a negative appearance. At the same time this practical quick guide wants to be an advocate for using dry needles not only as a myofascial pain syndrome tool but also primarily as a mobilizing tool. Dry needling has a well-known and documented mobilizing quality but this is in general not emphasized as a primary objective in dry needling myofascial pain. Dry needles can be used primarily as a tool to relax muscle fibres in the absence of an obvious myofascial pain pattern. The goal with this is to improve and restore normal mobility in a region and thereby diminishing strain in the whole kinetic chain. When dry needles in the first place are used as a mobilizing tool they fit very well in a manual therapist toolbox where improving of mobility is a main goal. This practical quick guide wants to stimulate musculoskeletal therapists to combine neuro-musculoskeletal therapeutic approaches including dry needling instead of choosing (un)consciously for one approach. For instance the approaches such as the myofascial pain syndrome (Travell, Simons), neuropathy (Gunn), segmental (embryology) neurophysiology and biomechanical (manual therapy). The goal of musculoskeletal dry needling therapy is bringing a swift, lasting, clearly decrease of complaints confirmed by the patient thereby reducing the number of required treatments.This practical quick guide is for musculoskeletal therapists who have successfully finished the basic practical courses for dry needling myofascial trigger points and the myofascial pain syndrome. At this point one should know how to dry needle hygienic and safe. The anatomic knowledge must be excellent. This quick guide is a practical guide and it does not elaborate on psychology, pain physiologic, anatomy or the theoretical aspects of the working hypotheses of dry needling. There are books, course syllabi and articles which explain the neurophysiologic mechanics of myofascial pain and dry needling. This guide is certainly not a substitute for the mandatory practice courses dry needling. The content of this quick guide is based on clinical experience and best evidence. It is not meant to be conclusive, it must be critical reviewed and it hopes to be an aid in stimulating clinical reasoned self-exploration with musculoskeletal dry needling.

A major development in the safe and effective treatment of myofascial trigger points and myofascial pain, this book is a concise, comprehensive, and well-illustrated reference on dry needling. John Sharkey—an international authority on myofascial trigger points, myofascial pain, myofascial trigger point dry needling, and neuromuscular therapy as well as an accredited clinical anatomist—draws on his thirty years of experience in bodywork and movement therapy to provide accurate and essential criteria for the identification and subsequent treatment of myofascial trigger points through the exclusive use of a fine, filiform needle. The ideal accompaniment to course notes and the perfect tableside reference guide, this book describes the origin, etiology, and pathophysiology of the myofascial trigger point as well as indications and contraindications for myofascial trigger point dry needling. Instructive illustrations support the text, along with standards and guidelines that ensure safe, effective, and appropriate application. Physical therapists including osteopaths, chiropractors, neuromuscular therapists, soft tissue therapists, physiotherapists, and sports massage therapists will find this guide indispensible. Because Sharkey explains why so many people have unresolved chronic pain and provides clear explanations of how pain is propagated, the book is also an invaluable source of information for patients with chronic pain and their care providers.

Myofascial pain is a term that has been bantered around for many years. It is often unclear to people exactly what this means or how to fix it. Medical doctors, Physical therapists, Occupational therapists, Chiropractors and other practitioners are starting to acknowledge the importance of myofascial pain syndromes and collaborate to figure out how to treat it. Health care is becoming more and more competitive, with many fads cropping up on a monthly basis. Many of these have no scientific base, and yet in the technological age that we are living in, a good marketing strategy can convince you to try anything. I have heard hundreds of patients say that they have tried this and that, with little or no result other than emptying their wallet. This manual is an essential resource for anyone who is interesting in treating pain in their respective practices. For the dentist, who is struggling to help patients with TMJ issues, or the physical therapist who feels like massage isn't quite cutting it, or for the Chiropractor who cant understand why their adjustment isn't holding and the patient is still suffering. No one has time in their busy offices to lug out an enormous textbook and start paging through it for 15 minutes while their patient sits there waiting. This has been designed as a quick reference text for those practitioners that have a patient presenting with a myofascial pain syndrome and need to quickly recap what muscles can be causing it, where those trigger points are, how to treat it and what to do post treatment. The authors have more than 40 years of combined knowledge and have worked on thousands of patients to bring you the most valuable and concise information that you will need to be successful in dry needling in your practice.They have assumed that you have a strong and solid grasp of anatomy and physiology, so they have not done a full recap on the basics of these subjects. We begin with an overview on the relationship of muscle and trigger points. This is a useful review about the functionality, integrity and uses of muscles and the trigger points that form and reside in them. Next we cover the differences between Acupuncture and Dry Needling. A brief discussion that will help you answer the question you will encounter many times a day as to what the differences between these two treatment protocols are. The Palpation chapter is one of the most important chapters in this book, as most practitioners are deficient in this skill. There are fundamental tools in this chapter that will help you, quickly and effectively, master palpation. The Diagnosis and Treatment chapter outlines the fundamentals in evaluating and treating patients. Needling use and technique gives you the foundations on what and where to needle as well as the how. This chapter incorporates different needling techniques as well as post treatment protocols. It teaches you how to be safe and what contraindications are important to keep in mind when evaluating a patient for dry needling. In conclusion, this manual is for the practitioner who wishes to deepen their understanding of myofascial pain syndromes and wants to help their patients in a quick and incredibly effective manner. This book focuses on the how, not the why. It is a quick way of referencing pain patterns and finding out how to treat it immediately.

The book focuses on the practical application of articulation and mobilisation techniques with clear explanations and visual support of the techniques. Techniques are described for all body regions. Most other books for therapists include only one chapter on these important techniques. This book covers a variety of best practise techniques for all areas of the body. Examples are given to show how to adapt the techniques with the patient in different positions. It also addresses the use of these techniques on children, the elderly and pregnant women. The mechanisms of each technique are explained with reference to the related anatomy and physiology. Information is also given to help the therapist use the techniques safely (for both themselves and their patients) by adapting their own stance and posture to get maximum effect with minimum effort.
