Hand in Hand with Professional Associations

IDNETAG aims to work closely with professional associations that represent and support their members who practise dry needling. Professional associations play a key role in the education, representation, and continuing professional development of manual therapists. By collaborating with these associations, we seek to be the go-to body that they consult as experts in dry needling practice. This partnership allows us to provide these associations with the latest research, guidelines, and educational content, ensuring that their course and workshop recommendations are rooted in the most current and rigorous standards of the field.

By aligning with professional associations, we can help ensure that their members receive the highest quality training and support. Our goal is to build a relationship of trust and mutual respect, where associations feel confident in recommending our resources and expertise to their members. This collaboration not only enhances the quality of dry needling education and practice but also strengthens the professional community as a whole. By working together, we can better protect the public, improve patient outcomes, and foster a more knowledgeable and skilled workforce in the field of dry needling therapy.

Engaging with Insurers and Insurance Brokers

To further protect the interests of dry needling therapists and their patients, IDNETAG is committed to establishing new channels of communication with group insurers and insurance brokers. Good communication is essential to understanding our shared values and goals, which include reducing claims against dry needling therapists, protecting the public, and lowering claims costs. By fostering a transparent and cooperative relationship with insurance providers, we aim to align our safety standards and educational efforts with the requirements of insurers. This collaboration helps ensure that therapists are well-informed about the best practices and risk management strategies, ultimately contributing to a safer practice environment and more sustainable insurance costs.

In summary, IDNETAG is dedicated to supporting dry needling therapists through a comprehensive approach that includes high-quality education, rigorous safety standards, a vibrant professional community, proactive engagement with insurers, and strong partnerships with professional associations. We are committed to fostering growth and excellence in the field, ensuring that all practitioners can provide safe and effective care to their patients.
