Dry needling is a form of acupuncture. Physical Therapists do not receive even close to sufficient training to practice this safely on patients and it is evident by the number of injuries they cause all over the US. They should have the same requirements as acupuncturists in order to practice this modality. This is a matter of public health and responsibility to the welfare of your public.
