Athletic Dry Needling – Scott Dixon

October 16, 2024
Working definition: Athletic dry needling vs non-athletic dry needling.

There is not a difference between the wording.  We aim to take and make dry needling practical and easy to use.

We filmed professional-quality videos that are included in the course.

What got you started in Dry Needling?

I took 12 CEUs per year for 10 years

What is your favorite application?

The cervical seems to give the biggest outcomes

I love when people are stumped or out of options and willing to try anything

Weirdest needle

Needling has a systemic effect

Pelvic floor dry needling

There are a lot of barriers to entry for the secondary school AT.   How do you walk through those?

Get the waiver specific to dry needling.

Use a lot less needles

Include stim and needles to reduce the number of needles needed.

Typically I use 16 -20 needles

Young kids, I use less than 10.

If someone is scared of needles, can they do this course?

We get this often.

I try to get them to try a few and see

We have only had one person no-show on the next day due to the fear of needles

When would you apply E-stim to needling?

Allows you to dose needling – essentially make it more or less intense.

Best used for pain mitigation

If they are hesitant

Find out their objections

You can have anything in the world you want if you help enough people get what they want. – Zig Zigler
