SUMMARY:Dry Needling: Upper Body
DESCRIPTION:Course Overview\n				\nDry Needling Certification\nUpper Body Dry Needling by ICE Physio brings a modern approach to dry needling education with contemporary methods and tactical e-stim applications for the upper quadrant. This weekend lab intensive will initially focus on safe and effective dry needling technique for the cervico-thoracic spine\, anterior and posterior shoulder girdle\, upper arm\, and forearm; and then highlight strategic e-stim applications for common upper quadrant conditions. Quickly become a confident and proficient dry needling practitioner equipped with the tools\, training\, and knowledge to help your patients with everything from pain relief\, to improved function and mobility\, to athlete recovery. \n\n\n \n\nParticipants will also have access to pre-course lecture content including an introduction to dry needling\, safety standards\, current research-based rationale of therapeutic mechanisms\, and advocacy; as well as video demonstration prep materials for the lab intensive component. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				3-Day Course Itinerary\n				\nDAY ONE \n8:00am - 8:15amWelcome/Course intro \n8:15am - 8:45amIntroduction to dry needling lecture \n8:45am - 9:45amDry needling basics lab \n9:45am - 12:00pmUpper arm dry needling lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 3:00pmPosterior shoulder lab \n3:00pm - 6:00pmAnterior shoulder lab \n\n\nDAY TWO \n8:00am - 8:30amWelcome back and Q&A \n08:30am - 10:30amForearm lab \n10:30am - 12:00pmSpine lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n1:00pm - 2:00pmE-stim lecture \n2:00pm - 4:30pmShoulder e-stim lab (anterior/posterior/seated) \n4:30pm - 6:00pmRound robin \n\n\nDAY THREE \n8:00am - 8:30amWelcome back and Q&A \n10:30am - 10:30amCervical spine e-stim lab \n10:30am - 12:30pmElbow & wrist e-stim lab \n12:30pm - 1:30pmLUNCH \n1:30pm - 3:30pmUpper quarter recovery & e-stim lab \n3:30pm - 4:30pmReview lab \n4:30pm - 5:00pmClinical commentary and final Q&A \n5:00pm - 6:00pmCourse wrap-up & next steps \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				2-Day Course Itinerary\n				\nDAY ONE \n\n8:00am - 8:15amWelcome/Course intro \n8:15am - 8:45amIntroduction to dry needling lecture \n8:45am - 9:45amDry needling basics lab \n9:45am - 12:00pmUpper arm dry needling lab \n12:00pm - 1:00pmLUNCH \n\n\n1:00pm - 2:45pmPosterior shoulder lab \n2:45pm - 4:00pmAnterior shoulder lab \n4:00pm - 5:15pmForearm lab \n5:15pm - 6:00pmRound robin \n\n\n\nDAY TWO \n\n8:00am - 8:30amWelcome back and Q&A \n8:30am - 9:30amE-stim lecture \n09:30am - 11:30amSpine dry needling & e-stim lab \n11:30am - 12:30pmCervical e-stim circuit lab \n12:30pm - 1:30pmLUNCH \n\n\n1:30pm - 3:15pmShoulder e-stim lab (anterior & posterior) \n3:15pm - 3:30pmPeripheral nerve stimulation lecture \n3:30pm - 4:30pmElbow & wrist e-stim lab \n4:30pm - 5:30pm Upper quarter recovery e-stim lab \n5:30pm - 6:00pmCourse wrap-up & next steps \n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Objectives\n				\nDemonstrate safe and effective dry needling techniques to specified upper quarter anatomical tissue targets\nDemonstrate strategic and effective execution of indwelling electrical stimulation circuits for the clinical management of upper quarter conditions\nExamine how our updated\, research-based understanding of dry needling mechanisms fit into pathomechanistic models of function\, pain\, and rehab\nExamine research trends associated with dry needling from early use to current state\nInvestigate some of the research-based treatment effects of dry needling in the context of targeted and specific treatment intent\nIdentify contraindications and precautions associated with dry needling for the upper quarter\nIdentify relevant upper quarter myofascial and neurovascular anatomy associated with proper and effective application of dry needling\nDiscuss minor and major adverse events associated with dry needling and strategies to manage\, mitigate\, and minimize these risks with proper dry needling technique\nDiscuss and execute clean needle handling associated with dry needling techniques\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Additional Information\n				PREREQUISITES \n\nNone\n\nEDUCATION LEVEL \n\nEntry-level\n\nHOW DO I KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO DRY NEEDLE? WHAT REQUIREMENTS DOES MY STATE HAVE? \nIn the United States\, only physical therapists (PT)\, medical doctors (MD)\, doctors of osteopathy (DO)\, and chiropractic physicians (DC) are allowed to perform dry needling. The ability for these providers to perform dry needling depends entirely on state. Please read the list below and reference the map to know if you are allowed to dry needle\, and what your requirements may be. These are the requirements for physical therapists. If you are a provider from another profession\, contact your state board or association to learn more. YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE TO KNOW THE LEGALITIES SURROUNDING DRY NEEDLING IN YOUR STATE AS WELL AS THE EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO PERFORM DRY NEEDLING WITH PATIENTS. If you are unsure of your requirements or if you practice in multiple states\, contact your state association or board to clarify requirements. \nPlease note: our dry needling courses require pre-course homework & exams prior to the beginning of the first day of class. Course emails are sent 4 weeks ahead of class to give you time to complete this work. For this reason\, once you receive the course email with access to material\, a refund is no longer possible. You may transfer to another dry needling course instead. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPT Dry Needling Hours by State\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    Welcome to the PT Dry Needling Requirements Guide\n    This interactive resource helps physical therapists find out what each state requires before you can dry needle: minimum training hours\, any experience or supervised-session requirements\, and links to the licensing board where you apply. Search for your state below or click it on the map to see the details.\n    \n      Please note: This guide was created with the help of AI and may contain errors or out-of-date information. Dry needling rules change often. Always confirm the current requirements with your state's physical therapy licensing board before you begin dry needling. Last updated October 2026.\n    \n  \n\n  \n    Find a state\n    \n      \n      Clear\n    \n    \n    Pick a state to see its requirements and where to apply.\n  \n\n  \n    \n      \n      Small states:\n    \n    \n    \n    \n      Not allowed\n      Allowed:\n      No hour minimum\n      24–27 hrs\n      50–59 hrs\n      74–80 hrs\n      100+ hrs\n      No ruling yet / pending\n    \n  \n\n  \n    All\n    Has an hour minimum\n    Requires experience or supervised sessions\n    No hour minimum\n    No ruling / pending\n    Not allowed\n  \n\n  \n    \n      \n        State ↕\n        Min. hours ↕\n        Course details\n        Experience / supervised practice\n        Other notes\n        Where to apply\n      \n      \n    \n    No states match that search.\n  \n\n  \n    How to read this. "Min. hours" is the smallest amount of formal dry needling instruction the state names. Where a state splits hours (general vs. dry-needling-specific\, didactic vs. practicum)\, the total is shown and the split is in the course details. Supervised patient sessions are listed separately because they are counted in sessions\, not hours.\n    Links. Every state links to its physical therapy licensing board\, taken from the FSBPT licensing authority directory. Where the board publishes a dry needling page\, rule\, application or approved-course list\, that is linked too. Board sites move pages often\, so if a link breaks\, start from the board homepage.\n    Confidence. Each state shows whether its figure was checked against the rule or statute text\, or comes from a secondary summary. Rules change\, so confirm with the state board before relying on a number.\n    Sources: state statutes and rules for FL (§486.117 and 64B17-6.008)\, MD (COMAR 10.38.12.03)\, NJ Board of PT dry needling page\, WA HB 1039 final bill report\, IL Public Act 100-0418\, TN 1150-01-.22\, UT Code 58-24b-505 and R156-24b-505\, NV PT Board\, DE 2600-15.0\, IN Board practice ruling\, NC 21 NCAC 48C .0104\, NM 16.20.13 NMAC\, GA Board approval guide\, WY 062-7 §7-3\, LA LAC 46:LIV.311\, MS Board regulation\, AZ Board FAQ\, ID dry needling guidance (Feb 2026)\, KS K.A.R. 100-29-18\, SD ARSD 20:66:04:02\, NE 172 NAC 137-006\, DC policy statement\, VA 18VAC112-20-121\, OR HB 3824 (enrolled); plus summaries from Integrative Dry Needling\, PPHC (Jan 2026)\, Master Dry Needling and Myopain Seminars (Feb 2026).
