for safety reasons against dry needling
 

For safety of needling practice, one must have professional acupuncture license study. We must be responsible for the safety of the patients' health. By not understand the concept and technique, needle insertion for pain relieve will do harm to the patients. By not knowing some certain point of the body might cause abortion for pregnancy, wrong angle of insertion will damage the internal organs. This is very dangerous and serious situation need to be considered.
