About the program

What is a dry needling certification course?

Trigger point dry needling has become a fundamental skill in every physical therapist’s toolkit. At Highbar, we want all our physical therapists to feel confident with this modality so they can provide the best possible care for their patients. Highbar’s in-house Dry Needling Certification program is taught by Board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialists with extensive knowledge and experience with dry needling.

It’s our goal to ensure that every therapist feels empowered to use this skill as soon as they step back into the clinic.
