"Dry needling" is a fictious term, its not real therapy.
 

If one intervention cannot belong SOLELY to one profession, then acupuncturists should be able to perform mechanical forced movements, remediates impairments and promotes mobility, function, and quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis, and physical intervention and don't have to bind by Physical Therapy's rules and regulations in any state. If you think the above reasoning is ridiously, look at yourself in the mirror and you'll see the exactly same thing that Dry Needling is being "falsied" and imposed upon the public against any good judgement for health and safety, to have them believe PT's can do acupuncture without calling it acupuncture. No way!
