This is an advanced dry needling course for the thoracic spine, CV spine, TL junction, and advanced techniques. This course is based on the foundational knowledge of anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, and pathology. This course will build upon the foundation learned in Dry Needling Level 1 and Level 2 adding new techniques necessary for the increased complexity when dealing with the muscles over the thorax, CV junction, and TL junction. To promote safety and clinical application, this course is taught by full-time clinicians to maximize outcomes for real-time clinic scenarios. Ample lab time is still a major part of this course as it was in prior Aspire dry needling courses. This 3-day course will continue with the concepts from the Aspire COMT coursework to apply musculoskeletal assessment, examination, and clinical reasoning to differentially diagnose and prepare you to incorporate dry needling in the clinical setting. Please see the course description for the COMT courses for more information.

Completion of Aspire Dry Needling 1 and 2, or their equivalent, is required to attend this course. Please note that you are responsible for knowing your state’s requirements to use this technique.

*Aspire OMT’s Continuing Education Credits are approved for the state in which the course is taught.

*There is no online coursework. All instruction is face-to-face.

Note: The building is not directly on Tacoma Mall Blvd but behind the Seattle Lighting store. There is plenty of parking in the front of the building. The educational center is on the 2nd floor versus the clinic that is on the first floor. Attendees should utilize the building's front door, go up the stairs and use the door on the left.
