oppose dry needle by PT
 

I  oppose dry needle by PT!!! Because it will lead to very serious public health security issue. What they are doing now is absolutely NOT responsible for the patient and contains potential risk for the patients' health. Think about it, do you think only fifty hours's training is enough to pierce the needle into the human body for the purpose of curing different kind of disease? It is absolutely a joke!!! Will you trust their treatment skill of being trained only after 50 hours? I do not think you will give me a positive answer. Cause it is ridiculous!!!
