Dry needles is professional cheating
 

By switching the name of the technique doesn't change the fact PTs are trying to use Acupuncture needles to insert into the body. No doubt the acupuncture needles have their effectiveness and open to qualified medical professional to utilize. PT instead of being deceive to the public and becoming the professional cheater should have learned from the MD to actually spend quality hours (>400) to get proper education first.
