This lecture the neurology and neurophysiology of needling and many of its effects. It begins with cortical representation, joint receptor density and muscle receptor density and talks about each in turn in an easy-to-understand fashion. The afferent and efferent spinal pathways involved are discussed, along with their clinical implications, including how they affect perception, autonomic activity and pain modulation. Muscle spindles, their central connections and their influence on the system, especially with respect to muscle tone are also presented.
