Against PT using Dry needles
 

Using Needles( without injection) for treatment is in the scope of acupuncture professional field only. Acupuncturists have to study more than 3200 hours and pass the examinations to get their license. For public safety and professional protection. I strongly against PT using needles for treatment.
