We should all be concerned about allowing physical therapists to perform treatment that licensed acupuncturists have been trained extensively to do. What happens when patients are injured during or as a result of dry needling? Let physical therapists do their jobs and leave" dry needling", which is another made-up name for acupuncture, to the experts -- acupuncturists -- who have years of required training and are licensed to perform such a treatment.
