Demystifying Trigger Points and Myofascial Pain
Expand Your Interventional Toolbox
Many clinicians are unaware that common orthopedic problems and sports injuries are often manifestations of myofascial trigger points that can be readily treated with Trigger Point Injections and Dry Needling techniques.
The Therapeutic Needling Institute is the premiere instructional resource designed to help you recognize the distinctive characteristics of myofascial pain, master Therapeutic Needling techniques, and enhance your musculoskeletal care.
As your skills at identifying trigger points and implementing Therapeutic Needling techniques improve, your patients will get better faster – often immediately – and your practice will grow.
Real patients, real problems, real solutions
Traditional instructional courses and video-based resources typically demonstrate their techniques on volunteer “patients” who do not actually have the problem that is being treated.
The Therapeutic Needling Institute’s approach is wholly different. Our platform simplifies the learning process by condensing the critical components of actual patient visits into integrated, user-friendly videos with accompanying teaching points. We give you all the pearls up front – and we encourage members to ask questions, post comments, and share feedback – all for the benefit and education of the community. TNI seeks to transform how we teach and learn musculoskeletal assessment and procedural technique.

What is Therapeutic Needling?
Therapeutic Needling is an empirically developed amalgam of Trigger Point Injection and Dry Needling techniques that alleviates acute and chronic pain and dysfunction from sports injuries and orthopedic problems by directly targeting muscle, fascia and associated nerves with a needle and an injectate (typically lidocaine and/or D5W, not corticosteroid), resulting in improved muscle, joint and nerve function.
The vision of the Therapeutic Needling Institute is to be the world’s premier instructional resource for Dry Needling & Trigger Point Injection techniques and applications

Lifetime Premium Membership includes:
TNI Videos: Access to 30 videos of real encounters with 15 patients presenting with various musculoskeletal problems. Videos include assessment pearls, demonstration of procedural technique, and post-procedural response – similar to the case in the Therapeutic Needling lecture above. A concise written narrative of the encounter with keyword search feature makes it easier to find presentations that match your patient’s.
Videos of several follow-up cases are also included, and users are invited to rate each video’s clinical usefulness – and why. The rating system serves to help fellow users navigate to the highest-yield videos and topics, and to influence the development of new content. Many additional videos will be added over time, and each new generation of videos will be produced with the community’s stated needs in mind – so you can provide better care for your patients.
Community: The platform’s interactive design allows members to post comments, ask questions, share ideas, review papers, discuss treatment options, compare and contrast various interventional approaches – basically to tap into the wisdom of the community’s diverse perspectives and expertise for virtually any topic of interest. The keyword search feature allows users to find topics, posts, and comments instantly.
Private notes.Users can easily create private notes (visible only to the user) that optimizes the learning experience. Keep your notes in one place, accessible from anywhere there’s an internet connection. Find your notes quickly in the Dashboard.
Dashboard: gives you a snapshot of your favorite videos and/or posts, as well as your recent activity and notes.
