Dry Needling
 

Dry needling is a technique used by trained acupuncturists who go through significantly & thorough holistic training.  To all physical therapists or any other professional to dry needle creates a significant risk to the patient & it devalues the lengthy comprehensive training.  End this process practiced by PTs.
