Dr. Gargano has 30 years of orthopedic physical therapy experience with the majority of those years as the owner of a successful orthopedic private practice. In 1999 he became Board Certified in Orthopedics through the American Physical Therapy Association. He was the recipient of the Ohio Chapter’s award for outstanding clinical excellence in recognition of his contribution to the practice of Physical Therapy. Dr. Gargano and Dr. Ma have been working and training together since 2008. Their varied clinical skills and experiences bring a new perspective to the use of a dry needling for musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. Working side by side in clinical situations they are able to gain new perspectives on combining their treatment philosophies. Together they continue to expand and develop new concepts relating to the Integrative Dry Needling (IDN) Courses.
Since 1996, Dr. Gargano has been instructing advanced educational seminars across the US and internationally. He is an Accredited Mulligan Concept Instructor and a former International Executive Board member of the Mulligan Concept Teachers Association (MCTA). He utilizes his vast orthopedic background and experiences to demonstrate how manual therapy and dry needling are integrated into clinical practice.
In 1998, Dr. Gargano developed the seminar entitled “The Upper Cervical Spine in Headaches, Dizziness and Pain; A Neuro-Orthopedic Perspective.” This specialty course provides knowledge on the clinical management of cranial, cervicogenic and vestibular conditions. Dr. Gargano is recognized expert in these specialty areas and recently developed a new course, Neurologic Dry Needling for Cranio-Cervical Pain and Dysfunction. This course focuses on the neurological considerations of this region and the effects of dry needling treatments.
Dr. Gargano is active in clinical research in many orthopedic areas and brings this skill set to the IDN concept. Recent research studies and publications and presentations:
- Griswold D, Gargano F, Learman K. A randomized clinical trial comparing non-thrust manipulation with segmental and distal dry needling on pain, disability, and rate of recovery for patients with non-specific low back pain. Jour. of Manual and Manipulative Therapy 2019
- Griswold D, Gargano F, A Comparison of Cervical-Cranial Dry Needling with Orthopedic Manual Therapy to the Cervical Spine for Cervicogenic Headache: A Multi-center RCT with 1- Year Follow Up. Data Collection phase. (75 subjects enrolled)

Neurological Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation (Foundation Course)
Session detailsRegional Event: swStart Date: 11/23/2024 8:00 amEnd Date: 11/23/2024 5:00 pmLocation: Classroom – Acacia 1-2Neurological Dry Needling for Pain Management & Sports Rehabilitation (Foundation course) (3-day) develops the knowledge and clinical skills required to effectively assess and dry needle painful neuromuscular conditions. This course teaches participants to treat the body locally, segmentally, and systemically; we do not divide the body up into upper and lower halves requiring you to take 2 courses before being able to need the entire body. Our system is built on the foundation of Neurological Dry Needling that focuses on peri-neural and perivascular needling to normalize inflammation ( neurogenic ), microcirculation, and reduce soft tissue guarding. Our peripheral nerve mapping model is a logical and systemic process that elevates the clinical application of dry needling by needling more than just muscles. Various needling techniques are practiced including the use of electrical nerve stimulation to provide participants with a variety of safe and effective treatment options.
Learning Objectives
1. Correctly identify and apply proper precautions related to blood borne pathogens related to the clinical practice of dry needling therapy from the course pre-reading.
2. Independently identify and apply dry needling to each of the three types of trigger points (homeostatic, paravertebral and symptomatic) in a given case study.
3. Integrate the physiological mechanisms of needling when developing a treatment plan for a given musculoskeletal condition.
4. Discuss the prevention and management of adverse responses to dry needling based on OSHA requirements with 100% accuracy during case study.
5. Independently apply dry needling treatment safely into musculoskeletal neurotrigger points during lab sessions.
6. Independently evaluate and treat soft tissue and neurogenic dysfunctions relating to a given neuromusculoskeletal condition
7. Correctly defend the IDN system for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain based on the unique neurology and physiology of neuro-trigger points.
8. Independently integrate the IDN system into the participant’s Chiropractic practice in relation to current clinical guidelines.

Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement
Session detailsRegional Event: swStart Date:End Date:Location: Acacia 4-5The Advanced Neurologic Dry Needling for Pain Management and Performance Enhancement certification course (3 days) is designed for licensed healthcare professionals that have the desire to elevate their treatment of neuromusculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This one of a kind course provides original information that can only be acquired through our institute. The participant will be provided with a deeper understanding of the physiologic and therapeutic effects of dry needling. Negative effects of neurogenic inflammation and microcirculation abnormalities will be discussed enhancing participants understanding for applying dry needling using the peripheral nerve mapping concept. Emphasis is placed on nerve entrapments, compression and areas of irritation that drive the resultant trigger points commonly seen in clinical practice. Advanced neurological and musculoskeletal assessment concepts, and needling techniques will be presented and practiced addressing these dysfunctions in this primarily lab-based course. The integration of electrical nerve stimulation (ENS) will be emphasized as an important adjunct to dry needling treatment. Focus is on assuring safe and effective advanced dry needling skills with sound clinical decision-making.
Learning Objectives
1. Independently identify a minimum of three peripheral neuro-trigger points for a given case study.
2. Independently integrate dry needling into a treatment plan for a given neuromuscular condition based on three physiological mechanisms.
3. Independently evaluate peripheral nerve (soft tissue) dysfunctions relating to a given musculoskeletal condition and pain.
4. Identify a strategy for the prevention and management of adverse responses to dry needling during a case study.
5. Independently choose the correct neuro-trigger point treatment sites for safe application of dry needling treatment during lab sessions.
6. Correctly defend the IDN system for treatment of musculoskeletal pain based on the unique neurology and physiology of neuro-trigger points.
7. Independently identify one clinical, legislative, policy/procedure, and billing barrier to integrating the IDN system into the participant’s practice.
