FDN Level 2 is an intermediate level course that builds upon the skill set developed in FDN Level 1.   This course focuses on technical proficiency in foundational dry needling techniques in more complex regions of the body, expanding the skill set to bolster application in clinical practice. Musculature taught includes advanced spine, trunk and upper and lower quadrants.

Anatomy, safety, precautions, and psychomotor aspects of needling are reinforced alongside in-depth instruction in neurophysiology behind dry needling mechanisms and critical appraisal of current evidence.  FDN Level 2 is a hybrid learning experience that integrates online learning prior to the lab-based weekend intensive.

Course Objectives/Outcomes

After completing this course the participants will be able to:

  • Describe the practice of Functional Dry Needling, including how this adjunctive treatment can influence functional
    outcomes for patients.
  • Apply solid clinical reasoning in the application of Functional Dry Needling.
  • Describe the appropriate use of percutaneous electrical stimulation with Functional Dry Needling for enhanced
    outcomes.
  • Demonstrate safe, effective, and appropriate application of Functional Dry Needling in complex regions of the body.
  • Discuss the literature, neurophysiologic responses, comparative and adjunctive interventions, and functional benefits
    regarding dry needling.
  • Discuss evidenced-based, patient-centered intervention case scenarios that reflect best clinical practice in Functional
    Dry Needling.

 

Note on prerequisites for this course: In addition to prerequisite course, participants must submit a log of 100 dry needling sessions (the log must include four muscles). Or, participants may successfully complete the course, Functional Dry Needling: Clinical Integration.

    Why EIM

    We’re reimagining health care education that takes you to the next next level. With learning that takes place where you are, evidence-based practice, and better outcomes for your patients, our education is transformative. That’s why EIM.

  • FDN 2 provided a good refresher on form, technique, and palpation skills to be more precise with treatments of the more intricate muscles. I'll definitely utilize these new skills and knowledge to treat more "difficult" or stubborn areas. Course Graduate

  • I am amazed at the differences in outcomes when you're not just looking at the location of pain but rather the whole picture and the neuro component to provide the long term relief not just the short term. Course Graduate
