The IMM Dry Needling/Medical Acupuncture Level 1 teaches technical proficiency in foundational dry needling techniques and traditional acupuncture points.
​
This course gives practitioners the tools to elevate their practice and fosters confidence and competence to integrate dry needling and use of traditional acupuncture points into practice the very next day.
The needling points taught include lumbar spine, posterior hip, thigh and lower extremity, cervical spine, shoulder and upper extremity.
​
Anatomy, safety, precautions, and psychomotor aspects of needling are reinforced alongside instruction in history, supportive evidence, clinical application reasoning and use of traditional dry needling points to treat common musculoskeletal conditions encountered in your clinic.
