DESIGNED TO ENHANCE PATIENT CARE

Our dry needling and rehabilitation courses offer a patient-centered, evidence-informed, diagnosis-focused approach to enhance your patient care and improve their outcomes.

Our courses are taught in-person and online to chiropractors, physical therapists and rehabilitation professionals to learn effective strategies to manage commonly encountered orthopedic and sports related injuries and pathologies, including the treatment for TMD, shoulder impingement, patellar tendinopathy, chronic low back pain, and more.

All course curriculums have been developed by SmartCARE Education™ to become the gold standard in continuing education for fitness-forward health care professionals. 

Each course presents current scientific principles and research alongside a vast amount of clinical pearls and experience, allowing the immediate application of the principles learned in each course into your professional practice.

All courses have been developed to meet PACE and APTA standards for chiropractors and physical therapists. 

“I showed up with expectations that were met and exceeded. Dr. Kaufman is considerate of everyone’s time & addresses lots of different learning style/techniques with his presentation/demonstration. I developed effective needling skills AND I took away invaluable palpation knowledge that (as a student) I’ll be able to carry into practice. ”

Hope M. (DC student)

“Dr. Kauffman is very personable and all about you learning all you can while doing your best. He has the course very organized and in an easy learning order. It is super nice that he keeps it with a small cohort to get lots of hands on and one on one learning with Dr. Kauffman. Highly would recommend any of his courses but especially the Dry Needling course! ”

Abigail B. (DC student)

“I entered the program with skepticism and left feeling confident about the practice of dry needling and my skills to deliver it. I also appreciate Dr. Kauffman being transparent about the mechanisms associated with DN and its integration into an adapting holistic healthcare treatment model. ”

Dr. Logan DC

“What a great course, such much knowledge, the instructor was so knowledgeable in this field and willing to be versatile to ensure learning. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into needling!”

Dr. Jake DC

“Dry needling was a well thought out and educational course. I now have another tool in my tool box for treating patients.”

Dr. Eric - DC

“I took the strength and conditioning course for rehabilitation. Great course to learn how to assess an athletes program when they come from a powerlifting or strength background. Would love to learn more about the endurance side! Can't wait for the next course! ”

Dr. Mark DPT

“Dr. Kauffman is an amazing teacher who’s knowledge of soft tissue modalities goes far beyond just dry needling and exercise. Take this course if you’re interested in dry needling. ”

Cameron G. (DC student)

“I showed up not knowing what to expect from a chiropractor teaching Dry Needling. Well, I was blown away by how well the course was taught! The amount of information combined with the small group is just perfect to ask questions and get them answered immediately! A great course for all my colleagues! ”

Dr. John DPT
