Dry Needling
 

I do not think PT's should practice dry needling as they are misrepresenting the procedure nor do they have enough educational knowledge to perform such a surgical procedure as acupuncturists and medical doctors do.

I have been an acupunturist patient for close to 5 years now.  I feel it is very important to have individuals that are highly trained in acupuncture.
